Inspiration

Happy December!
Everyone enjoy opening their advent calender? Me too!
Anyway, today I want to talk about what inspires me, and what inspirations actually is.
DEFINITION: 'Stimulation of the mind or emotions to a high level of feeling or activity'
Inspiration is simply your drive, what pushes you to do something or brings about a change in you that you may not have previously thought of or desired.
Personally, at least in my poetry I'm inspired by nature and Snow Patrol lyrics, as these are things that make my mind move and come up with something I can be proud of.
"You will never have to change anything you got up in the middle of the night to write" - Saul Bellow
However when we're talking real life, and motivations for actions, I would have to say that most of my inspiration comes from me and my friends, this is what pushes me to do what I do. Not going to lie, I act often to make my life more comfortable and to do what I want to do, and who can say they don't do that
Self inspiration is extremely underrated, but here is a bit of inspiration to leave you with...
"One must maintain a little bittle of summer, even in the middle of winter" Henry David Thoreau
