My Inspiration...

I was talking with Annabelle and she asked me my inspiration for writing... well, here it is. This is my inspiration for my various writings you all seem to love. :)

Okay... hmm, my inspiration... I get inspired off of others... I get inspired by both the beauty and the world around me... the way the sun sets, the way we hurt, the way we love. I'm inspired by some of humanity's deepest thoughts, deepest questions. I'm inspired by some of the strongest emotions humans have. I'm inspired to help. I'm inspired by friends. I'm inspired by family. I'm inspired by myself. I'm inspired by God. And I'm inspired just because I think maybe, maybe I can make the world a little bit better and help someone by writing something... And I get inspired by music, beats, songs, other poems, drawings, art... People and their beautiful personalities... That's my inspiration.

Author's Note

Just tell me what you think about my inspiration. Do you agree, disagree? What's your inspiration? Do you have a muse? Anything like that. :)

i'm inspired by many of the same things, but my inspiration is more subconscious....i feel more like a conduit...the words just come through me, to me and i write them...often looking at pieces later and wondering where the hell they came from...they just come as they will.

That's usually how my writing is, but people asked me what my inspiration was, and I know that there are some things that inspire those words, even if those words come out of God knows where. So this is what I think is my inspiration.

I couldn't agree more! If i was asked with the same question, I might have given the same answer. To become a writer and a poet may mean to become a keen observer, to feel everything around you. Furthermore, that includes to feel all the emotions and even the pain. Every writer is a painter and his canvas is the mind. The brushes of imagination will surely move in fascinating strokes. Have a nice day!

[The StoryTeller]

Yes! So true! Our minds make some of the most beautiful writing from a beautiful world around us, beautiful even when it is not perfect. There is always a good and bad side to things. You see the bad side if you look at it from the negative side, you see the good side if you look at it from the positive side. For example, I can look at foster care (which I've been in) as something horrible, filled with pain, or I can let go of that pain and begin to heal while seeing how it will help me to help someone else down the road. Anyways, glad you liked it! And I hope you have a great day too!

[Lavender Soya]

Very well said! :-) See you around.

[The StoryTeller]

Thank you! You too. :)

[Isla Rae]

I completely agree!! I've often thought about using the gift of writing to benefit society. Inspiration is anything, anywhere.

[The StoryTeller]

That is so true! And that's what I've recently started to try to do. Enough poor me, let's help people see the world a different way and better society! Glad you liked it!

Its amazing what you've written here . There's absolutely nothing left , you've taken the essence of inspiration and not confined it to one entity but take out the crux from everyone and every phenomenon around you. that is how we broaden our minds as tolerant and rational people. I loved how you've given your inspiration a wide playing field, unconfined. great work! cheers :)

[The StoryTeller]

Thank you! Yes, it makes for great writing, and before that, awe striking beauty in everything around me... even in the pain, there is beauty because with pain there is strength and resilience.

I'm glad you liked it!

I love it! I refuse to "review" this piece, as it's just a list of awesome things that inspire you.

I'm inspired by my friends, by people who dream big dreams, by the ones who are afraid to do something and then do it anyway. By my coaches and mentors and my family. By the people I love. By my own ambition. By great art. By recognizing that I'm capable of doing anything that I put my mind to and nothing will stand in my way.

I'm inspired by my great friend Jacqueline, who reminds me of my worth and inspires me every day to be better.

So there we go :)

[The StoryTeller]

That is some great inspiration, Justin. :) Inspiration itself is truly beautiful.

[Heartful5160]

Very good write. I cannot agree with you more on this piece. Everyone has something there inspired by. I get inspired from issues around the world and from other people's stories.

[The StoryTeller]

I agree, that is one of my main things I get inspired off of.

[Heartful5160]

Defiantly.

[The StoryTeller]

......... :P :)

[luvs2write]

That's a lot of inspiration, no wonder you write so much. =) Kidding, but I really did find this interesting. I'm inspired by the people from my stories. I know I'm probably making myself sound like a crazy person, but I just feel like they need to have their stories told. They're real...to me anyway. I think a lot of my poems are inspired by pain and by being completely ignored. So yeah, those are my inspirations...weird, but whatever. =)

[The StoryTeller]

No! They're not weird! They make complete sense, because even I in my stories want to give my characters life. :)

[luvs2write]

Okay...now I feel better. On a side note, I barely recognized you *cough* PPADD *cough*. =)

[The StoryTeller]

Lol, I forget what PPADD means, I'll have to recheck. XD And you barely recognized me? Why's that.

[luvs2write]

What?? Again?? This is over PPADD...this is...this is...I don't even know what this is. Anyway, algebra has decided to ruin our conversation. Be back on later...=)

[The StoryTeller]

Lol, darn you Algebra.

[The StoryTeller]

Lol, Profile Pic Attention Deficit Disorder... that's right. XD I was trying to find the perfect picture and I didn't want my boring old picture to be my picture anymore.

[luvs2write]

Boring old picture? I've only changed my profile pic...once? Maybe twice...not sure. And I've been on here way longer than you. =) Anyway, I'll stop blowing up your comments area.

[The StoryTeller]

Lol yah well it was boring XD and you're not blowing up my comments area have you seen some of my others? I have like 16 comments and on a few like 60 something replies to one comment.

[luvs2write]

I have seen some of the others...that's why I figured I should stop. =P And ugh! You just made me post another comment. =D

[The StoryTeller]

Lol, you don't have too... XD

[luvs2write]

Did you see this was number three in popular writing?? At least it is now...dunno where it'll be when you see this.

[The StoryTeller]

Lol, no, it's not there now... I'm surprised it made it onto there. XD
