Inspiring ME.


What inspires me?

 

Honestly, just about everything does in some way, shape or form

 

However,

 

I realized that what I thought was inspiration, wasn’t.

 

Instead of using everything as inspiration, I compared it all to what I lacked, leaving me torn.

 

I was constantly putting myself down for not being or having what I was inspired by.

 

When I dug deep into my thoughts, I found that my true inspiration...is me.

 

It’s knowing that being my own inspiration will lead me to a life of happiness,

 

Something I won’t reach chasing after everyone and everything else.

 

Looking to myself for inspiration means that I’m always changing, 

 

always bettering myself in any way I see fit.

 

I hope this inspires others,

 

 to realize that you don’t always need someone or something else to be inspired by,

 

You can be your own inspiration.

 

So,

 

What inspires me?

 

ME.
