  1. One day, on a whim, I went for a walk to get a cup of coffee. I was not a coffee drinker. I did it because drinking coffee in a coffee shop was something I could do with my time and made me look cool. Now, I just need my caffeine. This has become somewhat of a pattern with things in my life. Some call it addiction.

  2. on a whim. whimsy. I have considered myself whimsy. whimsical, maybe. but whims are weak. sweet, though; light. what else? I really like this word.

  3. And suddenly, she was in a whole new world. There were no fears not because he was there, but because she had chosen to be with him. Her existence became overwhelmed by the simple indecision of desire, and it was all thanks to his magic carpet.

  4. On a whim, I flew to Anchorage, hoping to see Russia. I guess it’s just a rumor. Though I’m pretty sure life is just one big rumor. Or rumour (UK)

  5. on a whim I think I know what I’m talking about, but most of the time I never know what I’m talking about. This is harder than I thought becuase I probably should have looking up the word whim first. Oh my god the time is running out. Why is the bar pink>? I mean, who chose pink fopr the color of the time bar. I bet it was a girl. Girls’

  6. He had a sudden whim to leave me today. I wouldnt say it was the most painful thing in the world but I knew I love him. And for someone that said he love ms so much and no one has ever made him feel that way but just to leave me one day, I think it’s bullshit.

  7. what is a whim? in theory, it’s something that we do impulsively, instinctively. we do things “on a whim.” but how whimsical are things, really? is there anything in life, any decision, any choice that is really done “on a whim?” even the etymology suggests that we should strive to know the basis of the source of the whim. the who, what, where, when, why of the whim.

  8. on a whim, i decided to punch him in the throat. then he died. my bad.

    the end.

  9. I went out on a whim. i did it, finally. i’m here, the place i thought i could never get to, and guess what? it was worth it. it’s everything i thought it would be, everything that i always dreamed about as a kid. i took a chance, and it was worth it. i don’t think i’ve ever been more proud.

  12. i AM IN lust with a man in a relationship.and i cannot stand the fact that he cannot be mine. does this prove that my affair for men deal with those who I can never be with?
    will he ever leave her, for me?
    because i know if he does, that all i will ever do is love him.
    and all i hope is that he will love me back.
    more than a friend. we shall be lovers.
    we can be everything we want for eachother.
    all it matter is that he leaves HER. she’s pathetic anyways ahhaha

  13. on a whim i swam in the deep. The fish bumped my bicycling feet. I got tired, then i swam again. On a whim I danced in a creek. my toes churned the water desperately. In my mind my life dissapeared, it was just me and my whimsy.

  14. I was led to you on a last second bit of folly. My fly by night adventure has somehow led me to the most stable place I have ever roosted.

  15. i do things on a whim and i don’t care what anyone thinks about it. to do things on a whim is to be free. I want to be free. Free of stress! Why do we live in a world where we have to wake up, go to work, eat, sleep, and repeat? We live so short. Why don’t we just live our whole lives on a whim? Doesn’t that make sense to you?? I think it does

  16. whim is whim…..whim means d 1 who s called a whim is an idiot…

  17. An untoward carom, a halfward slide. Good sale!! Here or there, a scent of a whim without pleasure, grim and to the point.

  18. I remember D’Paul rapped his whimsical rap to me the first time we ever met. I miss him.

  19. You feed your plant whiskey and cigarette smoke. You talk to them, sing in that cracked voice, I´m going to jump,I´m going to jump and have no fear. All your words are on a whim, all your movements are flight, quick and thoughtless and your mouth will fill with horses, breath galloping out, i´m going to, i´m going to jump-.The plant looks back at you and says,
    You always look so
    sad.

  20. On a whim
    you never do something like this
    spontaneous
    a new experience
    invigorated
    happy

  21. On a whim, I took my dog to the duck pond to see what was new.
    I arrived just in time to see one duck on top of another duck.
    A little embarassed, I looked away, but looked back just to notice that the top duck was actually trying to drown the other duck.
    That’s the last time I walk to the duck pond on a whim.

  22. He’d left with no regrets, hitchhiking and hoofing it until he found a promising spot to settle in, funding his travels with the occasional cardboard box top break dancing session and seductive sidewalk portrait.

  23. This magical word, of which I don’t know.
    There are many endless possiblities,
    but it takes more than a minute to write.
    So, I’m going to go
    Bye!

  24. Sometimes I think this is what all want in life. We go out on this whim for the purpose of achieving goal, most of the time we fail but we still try to achieve what we really want. If we are desperate enough we will go out on any whim to succeed.

  25. a flight of fancy from a dreamer who never fails to live in the moment; a dog that loves to play without thought of tomorrow or the mosquito that brushes you leg while you sit absentmindedly talking to the stars.

  26. I do almost everything on a whim. That’s just how my life goes. Sometimes it’s for the best, and sometimes doing things on a whim gets me into a lot of trouble. But I don’t mind, because it adds some excitement to my life.

  27. a whim is something you do without a plan. i like whims. sex on a whim is the best kind. i’m not sure how long 60 seconds is while trying to type. whims are delightful. it’s terrible when someone dumps you on a whim though, although it’s probably not on a whim to them.

  28. 1whim= Why Hold In Me

  29. it means that 1 is an idiot and keeps complaining. for example – he keeps on whiming.

  30. He walked the same route everyday, paying no attention to the various shops and people along it. For some reason on this particular day a piece of jewelry caught his eye. Digging into the scraps of his wallet he scrounged up barely enough to take it back home.

  31. On a whim I would like to suddenly go somewhere that I have never been. Just get up and go. As in, “Caitlin, where are you going so suddenly like that?” . And I would reply, “Idk, on a whim I just wanted to go! over there!” and away I went. just like that. whims are great. they take you places.

  32. It was all on a whim. That one leap of faith that had led up to this moment, like jumping off the highest diving board at the pool, except there was no water below, only stars and dreams and ether. And I jumped, and when I hit the surface of the pool I began to float away.

  33. I form my actions based upon what I choose to do, not based on the belief that an invisible hand makes my every move.

    I also had a bagel today.

  34. I love acting on a whim. I love being spontaneous. I love impulse. Though any impulsive act is consequences. Consequences can have a ripple effect. The ripple effect of acting on a whim could change your life.

  35. I opened my eyes today on a whim. It was only then I could see the cold winter air blowing on this beach. Summers seems ago, and I’m starting to wonder if this desolate snow will ever be washed away be these tides. But then I am reminded that like each new tide, this cycle will soon end into another part of my history.

  36. Sometimes you gotta do something you don’t want to do but it’s for the greater good. It’s like jumping of the edge of a cliff and not knowing if you have a parachute or not. Faith but casual, you don’t need to believe in a god or higher power, just going balls to the wall.

  37. On whim I love to just do things spontaneously. That’s what whim means anyways… On a whim to do something whimsical. Like the wind, it comes and goes and no one can stop the whimsy.

  38. I thought about the days I spent two summers ago, alone with Chelsea in my arms on an open field two streets behind my house. We had decided to go there on a whim one day, banking on the shade provided by the large tree-pavilions to cool us from the summer heat. She was beautiful–as girls are in summer–and the clear Mississippi sky was as expansive as our love.

  39. i never act on whims. i always make decisions after much thinking. therefore, writing this is outside of my comfort zone. it is a whim. i just stumbled upon this. why am i writing this? i dont even like to write. whims rock

  40. I have a big whim when it comes to humor. I have no idea what a whim is, but i feel like it has to do something with hair, or closely related. I guess you could say that Im very “whimsical”, but i could not tell you what that means. I’m sorry you gave me a word that I do not know. I apologize greatly.
