No matter who it is that hurt you, or the magnitude of the pain they have inflicted on you, never justify your revenge on someone else's actions. At the end of the day, life is a constant struggle, not necessarily against others but against ourselves, or at least the darker aspects of ourselves. There’s a … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 74: Anger is an Acid

500 WORDS, DAY 73: We’re Not Always Aware of Our Impact
It's crazy that many of us never fully realize just how much of an impact our very existence has on the people around us, and just how much we might matter to certain people. We might not really feel too connected to anyone in our lives, so we could feel like we don't really matter … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 73: We’re Not Always Aware of Our Impact
500 WORDS, DAY 67: Living Through Goals & Experiments
wonder when this thing will become weird, you know what I mean? I mean, right now it’s only been sixty-seven days, but what about when I’ve been writing for thousands of days straight? Who knows? Maybe it’ll never matter at all, no matter how many days I go for. After all, I’m just one person … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 67: Living Through Goals & Experiments
500 WORDS, DAY 66: Children
Today I thought I’d write about children. The question of children is on my mind lately because of my age. I’m 29, turning thirty in a couple months, and my wife and I have been married since 2017. We’ve actually known each other for pretty much exactly ten years now, but we’ve been married for … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 66: Children
500 WORDS, DAY 65: Appreciating Uncertainty
I think it would do us all a lot of good to embrace the uncertainty of life, to have an open and inviting attitude towards change, even when we know if could be uncomfortable or even totally dreadful. Now, I don’t speak as an authority on this at all. I love my life, and the … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 65: Appreciating Uncertainty
500 WORDS, DAY 64: Health & Gratitude
One thing we should always be aware of is our health, and we should never take it for granted.

500 WORDS, DAY 62: The Struggle That is Life
Life can get tiring. I’m sure this truth is clear to most, if not all. There's nothing mind-blowing or groundbreaking about that statement, but since I have to get my daily post done, and that’s what I have on my mind at the time, I have to write it, I can't just ignore it. Anxiety … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 62: The Struggle That is Life
500 WORDS, DAY 61: Music is Magic
Music is something truly magical. It’s always been crazy to me how something like a chord progression or a drum rhythm can make you feel a certain way. The way certain instruments sound as well, like a beautiful saxophone or string solo in a song, is just heavenly. It can put you at ease and … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 61: Music is Magic
500 WORDS, DAY 60: Two of My Greatest Literary Inspirations
Today I thought I’d pay homage to some of the writers who have most inspired me to do this. One big influence on me is Jack Kerouac. I don’t remember what came first, me reading ‘On the Road’ or my fascination with the counterculture of the sixties, but I know whichever came second only amplified … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 60: Two of My Greatest Literary Inspirations

It’s great to have someone you can trust one hundred percent. It’s the best feeling in the world to share your life with someone who you don’t have to feel uneasy around, someone who you know is putting in just as much energy as you are into your relationship, and who truly cares for it … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 58: Sharing Your Life With Someone Special
