I never thought I’d have a ‘best of the year’ article and to be honest, I actually feel a little pompous writing this. But nonetheless, for this year, I have put out some articles that I really believe in, enjoyed writing, and was even stoked with the response and views that some of them got.
If you have been reading my stuff from when I began this whole website thing back in February 2014, I love you. Thank you for sticking with me and clicking on these links every so often (or all the time), and coming in with an open mind. I really appreciate you.
I meet a lot of people that question why I write and what the hell is the point listening to some 27 year old, but I guess there’s always going to be haters and people that are too far into themselves to branch out from their routine. Besides, I don’t think I need to explain why I write. Some people like to collect stamps. Others like to watch TV. Everyone is different.
And from the things people say to me and the odd email here and there about articles I put out, I find that it’s all worth it and always cool and humbling to know that stuff that I put out into the big, wide scary world, can actually affect people.
With my site just passing 15k total views and 8k unique visitors, it’s strange to think of the amount of people that have seen these little words that I have typed.
Anyway, with a total of 41 articles published this year, here are my top five (which was actually a very hard list to compile).
My Top 5
1. Brain Powerz
The power of the brain is an amazing thing. From dolphins being able to project images from their minds to their friends, to how our brain determines what is a threat to our survival or what it should just file in the ‘whatever’ category.
