1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 62: The Beast Within (Poem).
We look to the West as well as to the East, but like that line in Hotel California, we just can't find or kill the beast.

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 57: True Love.
I hope we can all find true love and affection in life. I used to date just for fun, for casual sex and for my ego to have someone to call its own.

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 56: Watch What You Say.
I hear people talk about so many useless and random things. I don't criticize them on the spot, or behind their back to anyone, since I remember the days when I also used to speak just for the sake of speaking, just to be seen, just to be heard and acknowledged.

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 54: Remaining Present While Understanding We Are Beyond Life.
Sometimes it's hard to let go of our ego.

We … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 54: Remaining Present While Understanding We Are Beyond Life.

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 49: Don’t Become Discouraged.
It's easy to become discouraged, and to fall into a deeply depressive state, if we continually dwell upon all the death and destruction that takes place on daily basis, all around us at all times.

Heaven and hell, some believe are states of mind, that we can reach at any time. Some say we will reach them after we've finally left this world behind.
