Life is constantly changing up on us, and although we don’t always have the time we would like, to do the things we enjoy and to spend time with the people we appreciate, we have to be grateful for every moment and we shouldn’t take anything for granted.

500 WORDS, DAY 128: Ready for Whatever
Expectations are tricky. Often times, we would most likely find that we wouldn’t have gotten so disappointment by a situation’s outcome, had we not expected it to go in a very different way. When things don’t go our way, it can sometimes feel like we need to rebel, or simply keep a bad attitude, about … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 128: Ready for Whatever
500 WORDS, DAY 116: Words from a Mind
Appreciation for those who paved the way. Gratitude towards those who came before. Respecting tradition. Understanding it isn’t the end-all be-all. Some rules are meant to be broken.

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

500 WORDS, DAY 77: Motivation & Inspiration Meet
Day 77 of this writing experiment and I still struggle with a lot of the same obstacles I faced when I first started this.

500 WORDS, DAY 76: Happiness
