500 WORDS, DAY 121: Can’t Hide From Life’s Lessons

If you’ve been reading my blog for a while then you know I’m a stoner, and have been one for a while now, and I’ve gone through many different stages of use, setting up all kinds of goals for moderation throughout the years, at times following through and at times not so much. Now, although … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 121: Can’t Hide From Life’s Lessons

500 WORDS, DAY 120: The Importance of Balance

Balance is really one of the most important things we can learn and practice in this life, if not the most important thing, since it applies to absolutely everything. Everything, and I really do mean absolutely everything, has to be balanced. Not everything is, but everything should be, in order for some degree of order … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 120: The Importance of Balance

500 WORDS, DAY 119: All You Need is Love

Love can be such a beautiful thing, but I feel like it's unfortunately severely misunderstood by society at large. I think people underestimate the power of love because it seems to many like little more than a nice concept, only a mere fantasy which hardly translates to real life, especially when it comes to romantic … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 119: All You Need is Love

500 WORDS, DAY 118: Melancholy/Nostalgia

Joy and sadness all come over me and converge into a constant feeling of melancholy, a faint satisfaction which is strange to try to describe, as I think of what I’ve sacrificed and what I’ve gained, both consciously and unconsciously, throughout the fleeting years of my life up until now. That melancholy has become so … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 118: Melancholy/Nostalgia

500 WORDS, DAY 111: Learn to Love It

Time moves forward regardless of our opinions. The days are shorter and the past is fading. Every day farther away. Everyone claims to know the truth, yet we all are truly blinded, if not by one thing, then definitely by another. Illusions. Mind games. Division. Reality is too real to ignore. It isn’t healthy to … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 111: Learn to Love It

500 WORDS, DAY 109: The Post That Almost Didn’t Get Written

You tremble as you sit in the dark contemplating your mortality. The invisible hand of God hovers over your head. Death is certain, and the time it will come is unknown. Unknown until it comes. Then when it comes, it stays unknown. At least to the human brain. I don’t know if we know how … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 109: The Post That Almost Didn’t Get Written
