500 WORDS, DAY 54: Influence Pt. 2

500 WORDS, DAY 50: Lives of Quiet Desperation

500 WORDS, DAY 49: What Is Unique Other Than Weird?

500 WORDS, DAY 41: A Series of Unique Encounters and Experiences

Life is a series of unique encounters and experiences, and it’s up to us to learn as much as we can from as many of them as we can.
