Today I thought I’d write about children. The question of children is on my mind lately because of my age. I’m 29, turning thirty in a couple months, and my wife and I have been married since 2017. We’ve actually known each other for pretty much exactly ten years now, but we’ve been married for … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 66: Children
Music is something truly magical. It’s always been crazy to me how something like a chord progression or a drum rhythm can make you feel a certain way. The way certain instruments sound as well, like a beautiful saxophone or string solo in a song, is just heavenly. It can put you at ease and … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 61: Music is Magic
Today I thought I’d pay homage to some of the writers who have most inspired me to do this. One big influence on me is Jack Kerouac. I don’t remember what came first, me reading ‘On the Road’ or my fascination with the counterculture of the sixties, but I know whichever came second only amplified … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 60: Two of My Greatest Literary Inspirations
It’s great to have someone you can trust one hundred percent. It’s the best feeling in the world to share your life with someone who you don’t have to feel uneasy around, someone who you know is putting in just as much energy as you are into your relationship, and who truly cares for it … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 58: Sharing Your Life With Someone Special
Yesterday I introduced the idea of changing up the method by which I get these daily posts done. The change I’m referring to is that now, instead of randomly writing about whatever comes to mind, in a sort of stream-of-consciousness manner, I will instead choose one specific topic to write about, and I will go … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 54: Influence Pt. 2
I’ve been thinking of an idea for my daily writing post. Instead of just writing randomly I’ve been thinking of basically deciding on one word or subject per day, then writing whatever comes to mind about that subject and just going from there. Of course, I have to keep in mind that subjects might be … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 53: Influence
Sometimes we get so caught up in shit that we forget about the things that truly matter most in our lives. Sometimes our hearts hurt from longing, desperately longing for some place other than the present, somewhere other than where we are now, even when things aren’t particularly bad for us. We feel trapped for … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 50: Lives of Quiet Desperation
When I write about my fascination with the random and weird, the reality is that it comes from a place of understanding. It comes from a place of truly understanding that we are all unique, each and every one of us, and I don’t mean to say that in a cheesy, seemingly inspirational way, I … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 49: What Is Unique Other Than Weird?
It’s been almost fifty days of my current writing experiment, my goal of posting at least five hundred daily words on my blog, and although I constantly think of quitting, either from a place of laziness or just feeling overwhelmed, I’m glad I’ve persevered through it so far. I find that, at times, I can … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 48: My Writing is Random Because Life Is
Today is the 38th day of me posting at least 500 words on here. When I first introduced this experiment, I mentioned that my intention was to write as much as I could ahead of time so I wouldn’t necessarily have to write 500 words a day, just as long as I posted 500 words … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 38: Taking Responsibility for Our Time
