happy friday everyone.
today i woke up earlier than usual and didn't feel sleepy too. must be because i slept early yesterday night, been like that these last few days. anyway, today i'm gonna talk about inspiration.
what is inspiration?
inspiration is the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, esp. to do something creative. to inspire is to fill someone with that feeling.
recently, a lot of things have been inspiring me. i get inspiration from everywhere; watching tv, listening to music, things i see when window shopping and people around me. i've been writing short drabbles or scenes of stories based on any idea that comes to mind and then i stop and leave it scattered all over my brain and in my personal computer.
do you know what do you call a person who constantly inspires you?
muse. it's typically a woman, but i think girls too have muses and if it isn't a woman, it's a man. there are a lot of people who inspire me, but i have a special person, my muse, that have been the inspiration to many of my stories. not gonna tell you who it is, but i love my muse a lot.
so, when i was cleaning my little brother's room last night, i found a small empty notebook (+ some pens and a mickey mouse keychain, it's cute) and decided to bring it with me to school this morning. despite the fact that my backpack is completely full, i did not regret it at all.
on the way to school, i listened to payphone by maroon 5. it was dimas who poisoned me with this song and got me addicted, so. i kept in on repeat and halfway to school suddenly i thought of the song's meaning and the music video and these scenes of my favorite k-pop yaoi couple baekyeol playing it out just plays in my mind.
it was completely genius and since i didn't bring my laptop, as soon as i arrived at school and finished my unfinished homework from last night, i opened the small notebook i found from last night and started writing a complete plot rundown and summary.
things you need to note: once you get an idea, write it down. you might forget it if you don't. you can write it on your cellphone memo or carry around a notebook like me. there were some ideas that occurred to me and i didn't write it and i always regret it if that happens.
so, inspiration can come from anywhere. today, i got an inspiration from a song, and from the story behind it, from dimas too. really want to get this story done soon.
and about muses; a lot of times you don't realize who is this inspiration of yours, but look a little closer and you will feel what your muse has done for you. they don't just inspire you to be creative, they inspire you to be you.
have a nice dream everyone.
