Inspiration? Is it a gift that someone is given at birth? One that they wield and use to help them with their everyday endeavors. Or is it a myth that no one can ever truly grab hold of and use for their own good? 

                I think it’s option number two but that could be because I haven’t been inspired in a while. How can one truly hold their head up all the time and constantly feel inspired when nothing is keeping them upright? Especially when they keep trying to get a job in the writing field, but every response email is a REJECTION. It’s hard to see a future in writing when no one will give me a chance to make my mark. And believe me, I want that future. 

                  I’m always told that I should’ve picked a better field to get a job in, Go become a teacher, they tell me. Just write on the side and get a job doing something else to pay your bills. Where is the fun in that? Why would I go out and become someone I don’t want to be? Writing has been my passion for as long as I can remember. As a little girl, my nose would be hiding so far in my book that I wouldn’t stop until it was time for bed. I’d picture myself writing a fun little story just like the one I had read because I wanted to create a world and set my imagination free. 

                  I can’t imagine doing anything else and I don’t want to. Sometimes it’s hard because no one wants to support anyone anymore. It might not even be their fault. Everyone is so focused on doing what they need to survive in this world, that they forget that there is a such thing as passion. It’s what drives us forward, not what turns us into robots so that we don’t even feel any reason to keep going. We’re so focused on paying our bills and tending to our homes that we get trapped in a job that is meaningless to us. But that’s how it’s supposed to be? I don’t think it should. 

                  We are all capable of doing something that leaves us feeling satisfied. After all, don’t you want to have a life worth living? Not one that leaves you with a terrible feeling in your gut 24/7. Make a change and do it soon. You don’t want your life to end before you even have a chance to make it begin. Give yourself the chance to feel inspired. Because I know from experience that it can be a hard thing to feel.
