For today’s prompt, I am to write about a what I was really thinking. Human beings are social creatures. As such we often change our behaviours to avoid isolation and being ostracized. A challenge that I continue to face is expressing what I am really thinking. More specifically, I have difficulty expressing my true self because of how I process information. The job I had had was being a parts picker for BMW vehicles. It…
It’s been a few days since the last writing prompt. For today’s topic, I am to write on being loved. This will be another difficult question to answer. First, I know the world has several different meanings. On being loved, I know I’ve experienced it from my family and friends. I have yet to experience it romantically, but that’s for the best at present. I have recently rediscovered love of myself and will continue to…
After a weekend off, I’ve decided to get back into writing with today’s prompt. Writing as a Black man, the title says a lot. I never remembered feeling as if I belonged anywhere growing up.

I left because I was experiencing cognitive dissonance. Any situation…

It was twenty years ago that my father suffered a pulmonary embolism that nearly killed him. My brother and I were home for summer break, hanging out and wathcing…
Continuing from the last article post, I am writing today’s prompt. A lesson I had to learn the hard way was the difference between education and being educated. If you read the last sentence, you may feel that the two are one in the same. I had also thought that way form a majority of my life. The reasoning behind that thinking is the way the education system is set up in North America. As…
I’m trying to take a new approach with blogging today. Since I can not keep a regular blog posting about tech, I’ve decided to use writing prompts instead. The reason for doing this is to try and write a post a day. In participating in these daily writing exercises, I hope to improve my written communication skills. To generate topics to write about, I am using the article “52 Writing Prompts to Inspire Your Next…
