500 WORDS, DAY 78: Music Machines and Materialism

It’s been so weird these past few years really getting into the world of synthesis and music gear, because for so long I was always so against materialism and so convinced that it is ruining society. To be honest, my opinions haven’t really changed too much since then, but I guess I’ve just become okay … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 78: Music Machines and Materialism

500 WORDS, DAY 76: Happiness

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 74: Anger is an Acid

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

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 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 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

500 WORDS, DAY 57: Fascination with Life and its Mysteries

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
