Everything seems corny and stupid to write about sometimes. Every idea seems ridiculous and simply not worth mentioning. I don’t know why it happens, since other days I write the exact same kinds of random things and I feel like it’s all good, like it just works. Today it just feels weird though, like, why … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 57: Fascination with Life and its Mysteries
I don’t know why I write about everything like it’s going on a damn philosophy book or some shit. Even right now, I had to delete that first sentence so I could rewrite it in the way I’d normally say it. I’m trying to write today’s post in a casual way, just as if I … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 56: Fancy vs. Casual Writing?
Attention. Yesterday I wrote about influence. It was the first topic that came to mind when I thought of a word to write about, and I wrote about it for two days. I thought I might continue writing about influence today also, but I guess I just don’t feel up to it today. I’ve decided … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 55: Attention
Yesterday I introduced the idea of changing up the method by which I get these daily posts done. The change I’m referring to is that now, instead of randomly writing about whatever comes to mind, in a sort of stream-of-consciousness manner, I will instead choose one specific topic to write about, and I will go … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 54: Influence Pt. 2
I’ve been thinking of an idea for my daily writing post. Instead of just writing randomly I’ve been thinking of basically deciding on one word or subject per day, then writing whatever comes to mind about that subject and just going from there. Of course, I have to keep in mind that subjects might be … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 53: Influence
Yesterday I was writing about love and romantic relationships, and how they can be a truly underrated source for finding meaning in one’s life, especially in today’s fast-paced, digital day and age. Now, you might say the notion of finding real meaning in love or romance is ridiculous in itself because, after all, how can … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 52: Is Romance an External Search for Meaning?
Nowadays it's cool to hate on love. As illustrated by the rise of nihilism and cynical attitudes, many of us are too jaded to ever see true love as a possibility in our lives. We might find the whole question of whether romantic love even exists or not completely irrelevant, since we might feel like … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 51: Don’t Hate on Love
Sometimes we get so caught up in shit that we forget about the things that truly matter most in our lives. Sometimes our hearts hurt from longing, desperately longing for some place other than the present, somewhere other than where we are now, even when things aren’t particularly bad for us. We feel trapped for … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 50: Lives of Quiet Desperation
When I write about my fascination with the random and weird, the reality is that it comes from a place of understanding. It comes from a place of truly understanding that we are all unique, each and every one of us, and I don’t mean to say that in a cheesy, seemingly inspirational way, I … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 49: What Is Unique Other Than Weird?
It’s been almost fifty days of my current writing experiment, my goal of posting at least five hundred daily words on my blog, and although I constantly think of quitting, either from a place of laziness or just feeling overwhelmed, I’m glad I’ve persevered through it so far. I find that, at times, I can … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 48: My Writing is Random Because Life Is
