Lately I've been feeling very uninspired. I have so many monologues in my head, but I never let them out. I write about things on my computer or on paper, but I never finish it or share it with anyone. Sometimes I ask people random questions about things in life and that gives me some thoughts to thhink about even more. For example: today by watching a series sth came up my mind. A simple question that if asked at a right time, can make people think very deeply. I used this question for a text to a friend. Let's name him Lorenzo. I usually write to him, when I get sudden questions in my head and I want complex but good responds to them.
Yet today, he anwered very simply. " Music", he wrote. "Nice view. Anything prompts inspiration". He might be right. But then, why am I feeling very lost at this question?
My boyfriend for example answered to me with: " My imagination. I see sth and then I imagine myself acting out the so called scene as the leading role."
Interesting thoughts, I would say.
But what inspires me?
I'd probably need to go back to times, when I actually felt like that. One thing or week I will never forget and this was sth that changed my whole view on the world. It was an Erasmus exchange to the Netherlands. At first I felt very uncomfortable. All those strangers from different nationalities and unfamiliar places. I felt like a mouse in Big Apple. But then after a couple of days exercissing those bonding games and sharing thoughts, opinions, having a few arguments, I felt very liberating and fond of it. On our last evening we lit on some candles in two lines that made up a "runway". We were sitting in front of the lines and looking infront of each other. I have never felt so me in my entire life. I felt appreciated. I felt loved from complete strangers. And now noone can say that different cultures or languages can be a problem. I tell you, they aren't.
And at that moment I felt empowered. I felt all of them. Not just the person on the opposite site, I felt the whole line. It made my burst in tears. Tears of joy. Because I never realised how people can be so open-minded. I feel like in today's place, here in my town or country people are very grey. You rarely find any inspiration or joy. And I think ( me relising this through writing right now) I know my inspiration.
People. Cultures. Sharing opinions. That's sth I've been seeking for awhile now.
And it's not just that. It's strong music with emotions. It's not just that tipical classical music. Even pop or rock can have a whole string of emotions behind it.
Often times even my therapy sessions inspire me. Since I've been a regular for 4 year now, my therapist often gives me exercises to write on some topics, becaue she knows that I am very excited to write about it/them. Which means that eventhough I am a regular at therapy, I get waves of total failure and no motivation for hobbies. I just don't get inspired lately. And I've been thinking about this problem of me to connect with people. And maybe, I have found a solution.
This site.
And now I am asking you- people that maybe or maybe not have read my rambling thoughts. What inspires You?

Questioned?
Have you ever questioned your purpose? Why I am here yet I felt so useless. I know it's okay not to be okay. But it's not okay to feel not okay every single...

Decision
After so many things, too much relationship we are always alone. We have to face everything alone. there will be a point when No one will understand . Some are...
I’m not actually sure what inspires me. I don't know where the inspiration even goes.
But if I had to guess, i would say... music? Sometimes I get a random burst of energy to draw but then I just end up leaving it after a while.
So, I guess music, my current emotions, and my experience inspires me.
Also, I think it’s depends on what you’re using that inspiration for as well, because sometimes the things that may inspire me to draw don’t work when I want to get inspired to write or do schoolwork. I’m not sure if I answered your question or further confused you. Sorry if I did but yah... that’s all I could come up with right now. Ooh, I guess a random question can also inspire someone too. 🤷🏽♀️
ReplyThank you for your reply ☺️
I totally understand.. I sometimes, too, get a blockage when it comes to schoolwork and doing something right away- at that moment. Sometimes pressure is good, the other times it is just too much.
Any specific music? Or just music in general?
ReplyI like to say “stress/pressure is like seasoning”, too much and it can be too overpowering but you alway need some stress (seasoning). It really depends. Sometimes Reggae, Indie, Pop... it all depends on the mood 😄 I guess everything is related in that sense. Your feelings inspire which music you listen to which may in turn inspire you. Idk if that makes any sense. Thanks for replying, have a great day!
ReplyOk, hear me out...
Emo music. Like your mainstream emo shit. My chemical romance (aka my fave band) are so good at concepts for lyrics and videos and I find gerard ways ideas a stroke of genius. Like, the ghost of you, for example. The song is based around the loss of a close loved one and the video is a kind of Dunkirk style thing where he sees his brother getting shot but the cinematography is amazing.
To quote the band "we shot a movie and cut it to a music video"
