Chasing Inspirations
I survived most unimaginably huge and difficult tasks in my life through little inspirations. I finished both my theses in college and graduate school by rearranging my computer monitor into different positions until I was writing my last draft. I could also finish big reports in the office now by reshuffling mp3s in my play list until the creative juices would not stop flowing from my head until I finished the reports. When I write, I would need to be all too fed up about something before I can put down these feelings in black and white. When I come out with something inspiring, all it would take me is an overflow of happiness from within until I could no longer contain the feeling to myself.
My inspirations vary. When I am feeling the blahs, I would just need a good book or a good movie and I can then start feeling all too energetic and forbearing again with all the challenges that may come my way. Lately, a caffeine fix helps me go through the drabs of my early mornings and afternoons. Changes in my daily routine, redecoration of my surroundings, and even a new perfume help me feel the perks of life.
And problems, oh I’ve been having lots of them lately! After days of carrying the weight within, a heart-to-heart talk with Him and a prayer for all those who make my life difficult were all I had to do to get the lift I badly needed. The problems are still there and a leg of mine is still hidden in the darkness but at least, I already see a glimpse of light.
