What Inspires Me

“Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does. Love is a battle, love is a war; love is a growing up.”

-James Baldwin

There are many things in life that inspire me to write the things I do. Movies, television, songs on the  radio and so forth and so on. You will notice that I write a lot about romantic relationships and entanglements. I have a constant debate in my head over whether I am qualified or not to be writing on this topic . I’ve even tried to steer clear of the topic but it keeps nudging its way back into my brain. So instead of fighting it I gave in. I draw much of my inspiration from my own life. Not to mention the lives of the people around me. I am a constant observer and I see more than meets the eye a good deal of the time. I am an advice giver, a listener and a confidante. I have learned many things by lending an ear to a friend and everything I’ve learned has inspired me to keep writing and chronicle what I know and often times what I don’t know. There is inspiration all around me and I am happy to be so receptive to it. On a final note I just want to say if you are looking for inspiration, stop looking, when you least expect it, it will find you.
