500 WORDS, DAY 107: Keeping One’s Inner Child Alive

Aldous Huxley, one of my favorite writers, wrote about the importance of keeping one's inner child alive even through the hardest of situations. What is so unique about a child's perspective on the world? Well, one thing I think makes a child's perspective on life not only very unique and fresh, but also quite wise … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 107: Keeping One’s Inner Child Alive →

500 WORDS, DAY 94: What to Write About? All is Relative…

Sometimes I don’t know what to write about, not because I have nothing on my mind, but because I know that, in this life, everything is ultimately relative, and my thoughts on anything could change at any time. I mean, that has to be the right way to live, because otherwise you just close yourself … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 94: What to Write About? All is Relative… →

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.

There’s a … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 74: Anger is an Acid →
