500 Words, Day 158. I really liked yesterday’s post. Good posts make me feel like a writer. Today I stare at a blank page and have no idea what to write. It makes me feel like an imposter. Like someone who wants to write, or to be a writer. What’s the difference? Well, a writer … Continue reading Day 158

500 WORDS, DAY 155: Life In A Haze
What is this life I live now? So far from the days of excitedly reading psychedelic trip reports on Erowid, longing for a vision of life I always imagined and romanticized in my thoughts, a life of travel and adventure and freedom. What is this life, this 9-to-5 life, with this hypocritical society and all … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 155: Life In A Haze
500 WORDS, DAY 153: What’s Yours Is Yours
If it’s meant to be it’ll be. Don’t stress over the past. Don’t stress over the future. Believe in God, believe in the universe, believe in love, believe in friendship, believe in goodness. Believe, and go forward into the unknown, without hesitation. Remember that life is for living, not for thinking about. Whatever’s meant for … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 153: What’s Yours Is Yours
500 WORDS, DAY 146: Life is a Series of Nows
Be here now. It’s all we can really ever learn to do to get by. If we’re not present for our greatest victories, why did we work so hard to achieve them? If we’re not present in our sorrow, then are we simply suffering in vain? Life can be complicated. It can be cruel and … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 146: Life is a Series of Nows
500 WORDS, DAY 143: A Moment of Stillness
I get it. You don’t want to fall behind, or miss out on anything this life has to offer. We live in a fast-paced, ever-changing world, and we’re all trying to get ahead in some way. Some are trying to beat everyone else, while some are only interested in beating themselves, or the version of … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 143: A Moment of Stillness
500 WORDS, DAY 138: Boredom (Part 2)
Yesterday I wrote about the increasing levels of boredom in the world, and about some possible causes of it, despite us having access to so much media and entertainment. This whole issue reminds me of a quote from Viktor Frankl that has always inspired me, that says that “when a person can't find a deep … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 138: Boredom (Part 2)
500 WORDS, DAY 137: Boredom (Part 1)
Earlier today I saw the title of an article that stated that, despite people today having access to an ever-expanding selection of all kinds of media and entertainment, and despite steadily increasing levels of consumption of digital media and entertainment, people are continuously finding themselves more and more bored with life. Now, I didn’t actually … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 137: Boredom (Part 1)
500 WORDS, DAY 135: Positivity & Compassion
Strive at all times to become a completely positive person. Life is unpredictable so, as far as I’m concerned, we can never really outsmart it. We can’t hope for an easy life, because we could get it, but we could also get the total opposite. The only way we can be sure that we have … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 135: Positivity & Compassion
500 WORDS, DAY 133: Life is Love, Love is Life
All that we are is a result of what we have thought. A thought is a seed, that if cultivated, can grow into a deed. Actions have reactions, and if repeated, they become habits. Habits are the fabric of our lives, they are what make up our days, and what we fill up our days … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 133: Life is Love, Love is Life
500 WORDS, DAY 127: Choose Your Thoughts
Stay vigilant, and be aware of complications that could arise, but don’t dwell on possible disaster. Life is full of danger, but it is also full of beauty and amazing experiences.
