Featured

As we advance in the fields of science and technology, in artificial intelligence and robotics and automation of every kind; as we study and work so hard to invent and develop and then further improve every invention we can think of, every device we can dream up that would undoubtedly make our lives easier, we … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 145: Disconnect

500 WORDS, DAY 134: We Have to Keep Moving

Wow. I can’t believe I’ve posted on here for one hundred and thirty-four days straight. I’m not sure what my last record was, but I’m pretty sure this is the longest I’ve gone with this goal. I’m almost half a year in, and in a way, it actually seems to be getting easier, as if … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 134: We Have to Keep Moving

500 WORDS, DAY 129: We Don’t Know What Is Real

We all like to act as if we know what is real, as if we can possibly grasp the magnitude and wonder of life and everything it could possibly be or mean. We laugh at supernatural claims and spiritual beliefs. We are all very sophisticated in our own minds, whether we would like to recognize … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 129: We Don’t Know What Is Real

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. So much of our lives, and whether we feel comfortable and happy with them, comes down to how we perceive life, with how we … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 127: Choose Your Thoughts

500 WORDS, DAY 109: The Post That Almost Didn’t Get Written

You tremble as you sit in the dark contemplating your mortality. The invisible hand of God hovers over your head. Death is certain, and the time it will come is unknown. Unknown until it comes. Then when it comes, it stays unknown. At least to the human brain. I don’t know if we know how … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 109: The Post That Almost Didn’t Get Written

500 WORDS, DAY 106: Stream of Consciousness (Pt. 3)

Stream of consciousness. I guess I’ll start with this though I just thought of: It reminds me of an audiobook I really love by Ram Dass, titled The Journey of Awakening. It starts out describing a typical person’s morning, waking up and finding oneself bombarded by “a raging, roaring river of thoughts” about everything from … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 106: Stream of Consciousness (Pt. 3)

500 WORDS, DAY 100: I Appreciate You Reading!

Today is my hundredth day in a row of writing and posting at least five hundred words on this blog. It’s cool to see that my thoughts resonate with some people, even if it’s just a few people here and there. One of the coolest things about reading something like philosophy, or other people’s ideas … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 100: I Appreciate You Reading!

500 WORDS, DAY 99: Weed: Zooming Into Your Thoughts

I’ve seen a lot of posts online from people who have decided to quit weed because all of a sudden, after many years of use without any issues, they’ve started having nothing but anxious and paranoid experiences with it, some that have even ended up spiraling into full-blown panic attacks. Reading these kinds of posts … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 99: Weed: Zooming Into Your Thoughts

500 WORDS, DAY 86: Today: A Moment in Time.

Here I am once again. Drinking a cup of iced coffee while writing for today’s post. Listening to Hiroshi Yoshimur’s ‘Green’ album. I’ve been listening to a whole bunch of ambient music I never knew existed during the past few years, and it’s really become one of my favorite musical genres. There are so many … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 86: Today: A Moment in Time.
