Inspiration

Inspiration can be found in numerous different ways. People use inspiration as a way to create art and I am one of those people who use inspiration for writing. Finding inspiration is the tricky part of creating a work of art. I find most of my inspiration during the most random times of the day. I could be sitting in the living room of my house watching my nieces play with the newest toy they just got and instantly be inspired to write about how lucky I am to have such a loving and beautiful family. Or I'll be sitting in the passenger seat of my friend's car blasting music through the speakers while we're all singing at the top of our lungs and I'll quickly write a note in my phone about living in the moment and remembering moments like this won't last forever. Or I'll be sitting on the couch watching the newest horror movie on a Thursday night with my mom to my right and need to write about appreciating what I have and never letting it go. Inspiration is all around. It's just up to us to open our eyes and find it.

Soulmate

A soulmate is defined on Dictionary.com as "a person with whom one has a strong affinity, shared values and tastes, and often a romantic bond." A recent study shows many people don't actually end up with their soulmate. Most people believe a soulmate is "the love of their life" or the person they end up marrying. I, on the other hand, think that is wrong. I believe your soulmate can be anyone. A soulmate is someone who knows you. They know the smallest and most basic things about you but they also know the deep stuff you don't want anyone to know. They know what songs make you cry and what songs make you smile. They know how to piss you off but also how to make you feel better. They're there for you at 2:00 pm and 2:00 am. They share memories, good and bad, common interests and similar dreams. Having a soulmate is not always about love. You can find your soulmate in a friendship as well. Not everyone may find their soulmate, but I believe I found mine.
