Inspiration


Inspiration.
Something that has been so far from striking me, it’s not even funny.
I look at a blank canvas, and see it as that, no creativity.
It’s like I have become so caught up in the mundane day to day of life that I have lost the ability to be truly inspired.
Wake up. Get dressed. Drive to school. Yell at people for not knowing how to drive. Have my parking spot taken. Park in the empty one.  Write a note to the person that I paid for that spot, so don’t park there. Walk to class. Force myself to stay awake. Walk to class. Discuss how “Grapes of Wrath” is just so AMAZING (it sucks. Never read it.) Walk to quad. Talk to friends. Walk to class. Walk in late. Try to look like I care about econ. Walk to class/lunch. Do ASB stuff. Walk to class. Talk to Shelby, browse Pintrest. Walk to car. Go home. Repeat.
Really to say life is on autopilot would be an understatement.
The saddest thing is that I am currently living out my ‘biggest fear’
I’m living a totally routine life.
A life full of normal typical life things.
It’s lacking adventure in any form, and full of monotony.
So the question becomes not how to “get through” to summer, but how to make this time more well, more anything other than routine.
It’s how to inspire inspiration.
To paint that canvas all sorts of different colors
To explore the world around me
To not just seek, but to actually find adventure in any of its forms
To find this through books, day dreams, music, pictures, and compile it into words, to paintings, to everything.
So here’s how this will happen.
Through a ‘30 day challenge’ or more like a ’30 blog challenge’
Posting a blog, almost everyday from no until I have 30 blogs. Any length. Either blog. Any topic. Any length.
See beautiful places
Write beautiful words 
Use words as a tool to inspire myself to once again be inspired by what has been in my eyes a life of monotony.
Ready. Go!
Create beautiful art
