I’m not a guru of any kind. In fact, I’d consider myself somewhat of an idiot in a lot of ways. Don’t get me wrong, I do have confidence in myself and I’m quite proud of some of my achievements and some aspects of my personality. I feel like I’m very observant, and I notice … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 117: All Uniquely Similar

500 WORDS, DAY 116: Words from a Mind
Appreciation for those who paved the way. Gratitude towards those who came before. Respecting tradition. Understanding it isn’t the end-all be-all. Some rules are meant to be broken. Things are meant to change. Change is the only constant. We need to exercise caution. There are so many ways to mess it all up. Venturing into … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 116: Words from a Mind
500 WORDS, DAY 111: Learn to Love It
Time moves forward regardless of our opinions. The days are shorter and the past is fading. Every day farther away. Everyone claims to know the truth, yet we all are truly blinded, if not by one thing, then definitely by another. Illusions. Mind games. Division. Reality is too real to ignore. It isn’t healthy to … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 111: Learn to Love It
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 108: Perspective
It seems to me like life really does come down to perspective. While a case can be made for the idea that life is good and that therefore human beings are ultimately good, there’s also quite a case to be made for the idea that humanity and the planet are ultimately evil and corrupt. Although … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 108: Perspective
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 96: Stream of Consciousness (Pt. 2)
Apathy. Sometimes I can’t be bothered to think too much. Thinking is good. Thinking and thinking is interesting. Thinking and thinking and thinking is fascinating, but just when do we cross the line into overthinking? Overthinking is exhausting. It’s relative though. What’s overthinking to me might not be for you. Who knows. We all have … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 96: Stream of Consciousness (Pt. 2)
500 WORDS, DAY 95: Stream of Consciousness (Pt. 1)
A blank page. A blank canvas. Painting the emotions of my soul. Writing down the words that run through my head. Thinking about life. About the past. About the present. The future. Plans. Lessons to learn from. Decisions to make. It never ends. Life is constantly dying and being reborn. What does it mean to … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 95: Stream of Consciousness (Pt. 1)
500 WORDS, DAY 83: Spontaneous Writing. Life Keeps Going.
I’m a person. I’m a human being. I love life. Life is hard. Hard things are often worth doing. Life is a challenge, but it’s a blessing to get to live it. I don’t know what to write about, so I’m writing random facts down. I like writing. I think there’s a reason for my … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 83: Spontaneous Writing. Life Keeps Going.
