I always thought happiness was something that could be complicated, but which didn’t necessarily need to be. These days however, I’m starting to think that the uncertainty and what some might call overall absurdity of life, perhaps do create a world in which happiness unfortunately does have to be complicated. Maybe that’s the way it … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 76: Happiness

500 WORDS, DAY 75: True Peace of Mind is Hard to Find
As we grow older, we realize that all we truly want is peace, both peace of mind and peace in the external sense.

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?

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 56: Fancy vs. Casual Writing?
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?
500 WORDS, DAY 53: Influence
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.

500 WORDS, DAY 50: Lives of Quiet Desperation
Sometimes we get so caught up in shit that we forget about the things that truly matter most in our lives.

We feel trapped for … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 50: Lives of Quiet Desperation
500 WORDS, DAY 49: What Is Unique Other Than Weird?
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?
500 WORDS, DAY 46: Ongoing Weed Addiction Pt. 2
I’ve been writing about addictions of different kinds during the past few days. I’ve opened up about my ongoing weed addiction, although I’m sure it might sound ridiculous to some who grew up believing, just as I did, that weed is not addictive in the slightest. I’ve explained the reasons why certain substances, like weed, … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 46: Ongoing Weed Addiction Pt. 2
