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.

500 WORDS, DAY 125: We All Have Wisdom to Share With Each Other

This post is part of an ongoing writing series. I’ve challenged myself to post at least five hundred words a day on here, indefinitely. Some days I write the post that same day, some days I use something pre-written. I started with the idea of each day’s topic continuing from the previous day, although that … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 125: We All Have Wisdom to Share With Each Other

500 WORDS, DAY 122: Embrace the Now!

“The secret of it all,” says Walt Whitman, “is to write in the gush, the throb, the flood, of the moment – to put things down without deliberation – without worrying about their style – without waiting for a fit time or place.” Now, I don’t really know what the throb or the gush are, … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 122: Embrace the Now!

500 WORDS, DAY 120: The Importance of Balance

500 WORDS, DAY 118: Melancholy/Nostalgia

Joy and sadness all come over me and converge into a constant feeling of melancholy, a faint satisfaction which is strange to try to describe, as I think of what I’ve sacrificed and what I’ve gained, both consciously and unconsciously, throughout the fleeting years of my life up until now. That melancholy has become so … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 118: Melancholy/Nostalgia
