We really do live in a time that is very different than any other time before it. Of course, no second is equal, and life and the world are constantly changing, but what I mean by this time being really different than any previous time in history is that there is so much that is … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 97: A More Individualistic World
Apathy. Sometimes I can’t be bothered to think too much. Thinking is good. Thinking and thinking is interesting. Thinking and thinking and thinking is fascinating, but just when do we cross the line into overthinking? Overthinking is exhausting. It’s relative though. What’s overthinking to me might not be for you. Who knows. We all have … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 96: Stream of Consciousness (Pt. 2)
A blank page. A blank canvas. Painting the emotions of my soul. Writing down the words that run through my head. Thinking about life. About the past. About the present. The future. Plans. Lessons to learn from. Decisions to make. It never ends. Life is constantly dying and being reborn. What does it mean to … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 95: Stream of Consciousness (Pt. 1)
Sometimes I don’t know what to write about, not because I have nothing on my mind, but because I know that, in this life, everything is ultimately relative, and my thoughts on anything could change at any time. I mean, that has to be the right way to live, because otherwise you just close yourself … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 94: What to Write About? All is Relative…
Yesterday I wrote about the great extent in which hip-hop and its culture influenced me when I was a lot younger, even if not always positively. That influence has been with me up to this point, but just recently it’s starting to really feel like my mind and personality have changed enough that I can … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 93: Growing Up: Hip-Hop, Psychedelics
Since nothing better comes to mind for today’s post, I feel like just spreading some positive energy is the best thing I can do. The world is too cruel, and life is too complicated, and we are all going through different issues. I don’t know what you’re going through at this moment, and I don’t … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 90: Understanding and Kindness
So, today is day 88 of this writing challenge I’ve set for myself, which consists of posting 500 daily words on here. It’s cool that I’m very close to a hundred days, but I do have to admit that not everything has necessarily gone according to plan. Now, that doesn’t mean anything has actually gone … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 88: Literary Detour
I wonder if I’ll ever feel normal. I wonder if I ever did. It’s easy to say I did… but then again, it’s easy to say I never did. What am I even talking about? Does normal even exist? If I said it doesn’t, that would make sense on one level, because we all operate … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 87: What is Normal? What is God?
Here I am once again. Drinking a cup of iced coffee while writing for today’s post. Listening to Hiroshi Yoshimur’s ‘Green’ album. I’ve been listening to a whole bunch of ambient music I never knew existed during the past few years, and it’s really become one of my favorite musical genres. There are so many … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 86: Today: A Moment in Time.
Writing. Stream of consciousness Part 2. Don’t overthink it. Get the words on the page. Each letter has a life of its own. It forms a part of a family. Its family is the word it is a part of. Except it doesn’t grow. It stays in its place, as part of its family. Its … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 85: Life as a Blog Post
