Inspiration.

I'm up late, which is ok only because I plan on skipping school tomorrow to lounge around, write, and hopefully finish my summer project which was due last Wednesday.

I've mentioned before that I like to read other people's blogs, and why. But they also inspire me. People write these beautiful profound sentences that I could've never dreamed up. In a way it's almost like a challenge to myself; this voice in my head says, "You could never write like that." and then the defiant part of me wants to prove it wrong.

But lately I've started finding inspiration in so many things. The littlest things. I was standing outside of work the other night, waiting for my ride, and it was a Sunday, so it was just starting to get dark. And this guy I work with, Travis, went out into the parking lot to get a cart someone had left. As he was walking back toward the store, in the almost empty parking lot with this one cart, I just thought, "this is a beautiful moment."

I keep seeing these beautiful moments. They make me feel alive. They also make me want to write. I want to capture this everyday beauty in a way that other people can understand. I want to show people that moments like this can be beautiful. You just have to learn to look for them.

I'll leave you with this; my best friend just said it to me on Facebook, completely out of the blue. It sums up my feelings, too:

"i want to be great. thats why i'm jealous of naturally talented people because i want to be remembered for something"
