Inspiration

What inspires you?

Songs, movies, poems, can inspire me... It changes the way I think about things when I read something meaningful.

When I was younger and new to the internet having signatures at the bottom of every email was "a must" I don't know if it still matters now so every now and then, I think it was in grade 4 when having an email address was compulsory.

I have a few I can remember:

“Life is not about the breaths we take, but the moments that take our breath away”

This line made me daydream a lot... I tried to recall what moments took my breath away, what times made me say “Awwwwhhhhh”.. What scenes made me teary eyed... and what movies made me cry... Still amidst all the daydreaming, I couldn’t remember a specific “moment”. Was something wrong with me that I can’t feel strong emotion towards something mushy? Are my “moments” too common to take my breath away?

Then I really thought about it, I was just kidding myself. There were a lot of moments that took my breath away. The simple things that made me smirk, and laugh to myself. The common things that made me remember with the thought that “hey, I want that to happen to me when I get older”

Like how a guy tries everything just to get a girls attention. How he asks all her friends for “tips” on how to get her to like him. When an elderly couple goes to the mall and both of them walking slowly because they both have arthritis and yet, they still have the sweetness when you see them holding hands I want to have that. Even now, it makes me smile..

“Everybody smiles in the same language”

Now that’s an easy one. It shows that we are all living in the same world, breathing the same air. We shouldn’t discriminate. We should be together in peace.
