Inspiration

Yeah, so I suck at this blogging thing I guess, lol. I don't even write in my hand-written journal anymore I don't think, lol. Anyway, I was just sitting at home on the computer and thinking about things...

Someone asked me the other day what inspires me. I answered with the usual answers: music and other writings.

But for the most part, dreams and people inspire me. Yes music and other writings do have a big effect, but for the most part, I tend to think about dreams and what other people or real people or fake people would do/say/think, etc...

I like to sit back and observe a lot. In new places, old places, around my best friends or complete strangers. It's just nice to go somewhere and observe and just listen and soak in whatever is going on around me without having to interfere. Like just last night, I was sitting at Chili's with three of my absolute favorite people, Erin, Kevin, and Dario. And for the most part I was just listening to them and watching their interactions with the world. It was great. I came home and slept and had this amazing dream about different things. It's those kind of things that inspire me. Nature, love, life, reality, fantasy, friends, surrondings, smells, sounds. All those things come together in one defining moment and put something into your brain. Makes me appreciate life in so many different ways.

I know people complain about life (job, money, economy, love, family, friends), but if you get a closer look, even once in awhile, life is something to be experienced and cherished and loved. So many people in the world take the inspirtations in life and turn it into something negative and hurtful. Take your life inspirations and do soemthing positive with it. Write a poem, visit a park, talk to someone you haven't spoken to in a long time, just be happy. Find inspiration and just go with it. You never know where it might take you.

Okay, I'm done. Time to go to work. Yay for only one job today, woot! :)
