*Don't read if you can't stand dark stuff/wierd/crypyic/out of the ordinary stuff.*
I wanta know what....
Makes you live, makes you breathe, makes you cry out in pure terror from something only you can see, how you manage to keep me so intregued, what takes your pain away, its not substance, is it?, more like something underlying, its in your blood..
What is your inspiration...
What do you do when the lights go off, how do you feel after something as hard as death has hit your family, yet is not death at all its, more fear, fear of what?, the unknown?
I'm feelin' effed' in the head, perhaps that is why I wrote this?..., I don't know though
Or rather, I think its more I needed to write.
sorry for the mistakes.
Oh yeah?, if your goonna' come on here, and tell me I need a life, or how this, or that, or the other word is speled, I don't wanta' hearit.
I just wanta' know peoples thoughts.
Thank you,
Cortney
my inspiration is metal music, especially melodic metal, or reading fantasy books. I can escape from reality in a reasonable way and then lift my spirits up and get back to reality feeling better, feeling like i can relate. Ok, so maybe there's no wizard walking in the forest casting spells, but I can take a walk with my family and learn how wise they are in the real world.
I would have to agree that music is my inspiration, it doesn't matter if everything else is royally fucked, music is not, and never will be. As to some of those other questions, well, hmm. All my emotions are strictly regulated, so I can't say that a lot of bad stuff enters the equasion that often. When it does, I block it, very simple.
Music is an excellent relief when life gets you down. Also reading, as aforesaid. Talking to friends, writing down how you feel, that all helps greatly, too.
Take care.
i'd have to say definitely music as well. It's who i am, and pretty much a big part if not all of what keeps me going. Do we see a pattern here? hmmm... lol
Oh, cortney, I don't know quite what to say.
I often find myself lost in my head, lost in my own world/existence, somewhere there are no answers, no solutions. But I know the answer's out there somewhere,, we just have to find it.
As for what makes you live, makes you breathe, what makes your world spin, your sun rise and set, what makes you cry, laugh, smile, feel, it's life.
Life is a journey, one with a lot of twists and turns, bends and straigh paths, there are so many ways you can go, and things to see, sometimes stopping, sometimes looking back from a distance, at a glance. It's up to us to choose. It's our choice to make.
To stop along the way, hold on, not let go, keep the feeling, or do we move on, looking back sometimes, taking it out, for awhile, and putting it away for another day, or do we leave it completely, shut it out, never to remember, forgetting it all.
The journey is ours, it's up to us, where we go, who we choose to bring with us, what we take with us, and what we leave behind.
That, is my inspiration, writing, seeing things, for what they are, not what I want them to be, but what they are, in reality, sometimes, I want to hold on, to the dream, to the good feeling, but then, I think, about what it would mean, and sometimes, letting go, is the best way, the only way, to heal, to move on, and to go on in life. To hold on, is to hold yourself back, from moving ahead, from climbing the hill, to wherever it is you wwant to go, on your life's journey.
Cortney. Well, start with the people you really love and admire. Spend as much time with them as you can and get as much out of them as you can. Listen to lots of music to relax. That has always been one of my preferred methods of relaxation. Whatever hobbies you have, even if it's fucking around on here, enjoy it. If you have a mentor, even an unofficial one, someone you look up to, take advantage of that. Do some silly things from time to time. Enjoy your and my favourite passtime when you have the opportunity and when you feel like it. Get proper sleep. Laugh. Be kind to people. That is what has gotten me by so far!
Lisa,
Thank you, you got what I really wanted out of this post, I kinda' hid what I wanted people to understand, but you got it...
That was really pretty by the way.
take care,
Cortney
What inspires me? Life, it's a journey, sometimes very difficult one, but it inspires me, it has so much to offer, yet so many times it's not what I want, it's not what I hope for. My head, my brain, my imagination, all that inspires me, it's so nice, to be able to escape from the reality, to go in to your own world, world of fear, world of darkness, happiness, emotions, changes, journeys, journeys to the unknown, undiscovered, so unknown that it's scary to look at, yet so tempting, so exciting. It's my own world, yet there's so much in it, so much than just me, many people, faces, imigies, things that I wanna hold on to, yet I don't know if I can, but I keep fighting, I never give up, because that's me, it always has been. So much has happened, so much has changed, so muchI have achived by doing that, fighting, fighting that force that is so strong, yet I've always came on top, always defeated it, so far, but it's not over, it never will be, some things will happen, that will make it a lot easier, but it will never be easy, life never is. Life is a chalenge, reality is a chalenge, a chalenge that will never go away, but sometimes, escaping from that reality, that inside force, helps me to over come that chalenge. Unpredectible things, unexpected things, surprises, that inspires me too, the fact that I don't know what will happen makes me look forwerd to it, yet I look at the future, I think about it, now more than ever, but I still look fowerd to that something that will come as a total surprise, of course, not all surprises are good, but as bad as they may be, even bad ones make things exciting if you didn't expect them and add to that chalenge that I call my life. People, people I love, people I care for, people that mean a lot to me, people that I would do anything for inspire me too, making someone sad, making someone happy, making someone hate me, love me, it's all part of it. So sometimes, I have to go deep, very deep inside, somewhere only I know, to keep fighting my feares, or anything that that chalenge of life brings. One day, maybe, I mmight let someone else to go that far inside, or at least I hope I will. Yeah all of you lot might think that I'm fucked up in the head, but I so don't give a shit. The only person I will apologise is Torico, because it's her topic and if I've ruined it or changed it or said shit that maybe was not exactly what you were looking for, as this was kind of different, I'm sorryif I fucked it up, but well, we were talking about inspiration and so I was inspired to write all this, maybe I should have created my own things, but thee you go, I haven't and if it anoied you I'm sorry.
V, I'm not Torico, but I will tell ya, that, you did not fuck it up. In fact, this is exactly what she's looking for. What enspires you. And that is exactly what you wrote.
Yes, life is a journey. A very difficult one at times, but sometimes, when you have friends to go along beside you, it doesn't seem as difficult and as ominous. But if you choose to walk alone, it can and will be a long, treacherous, lonely, and very painful journey. But with those who care about you and love you, if you let them, let them walk with you, or take them with you, it won't seem so ominous. That's what friends do. They shoulder some of the burden, and take turns helping each other, and taking care of each other.
The journey is not meant to travel alone. Those that do it, find themselves lost, alone, afraid, angry, sad, deeply excrusiatingly so. But those who choose to allow their friends to accompany them, will be a little less sad, because their friends are helping them, they will be a little less afraid, and all the things that can happen to one if they isolate themselves.
Don't do that! Let your friends help you! Hold on to them so you don't lose them.

touch.
my number one inspiration is jesus christ because he shed his blood for me. that shows how much he loves me. my number two inspiration is my dad. god has given me an awesome dad who cares about me. and on top of that. we both like christian heavy metal and we are like... peers then theres my english teacher. she just always encourages me to keep writing and were friends like peers. and my math teacher. oooh boy i hate math and i stink at it too. but my math teacher always helps me helps mme. and then when i get a 100 on a test or something close iono shes just so proud of me that she just gives me the biggrest hug! haha. then theres my friend becky. shes blind and she dos karate. she plays violin viola and piano. shes in pace history and honors english and honors math. and how she deals with all that i dunno but she amazes me! and then theres my bjohnathon... he amazes me too... i love him.
Lots of things inspire me. I have to say that one of them is the people that I meet, or deal with every day. Some of them are amazing, and just make me think. I also am inspired by those who are less fortunate than I, but yet still remain happy. I also get a huge inspiration from music and poetry. It helps me to just listen to it. I even get inspired by my thoughts. There are times where I just sit and reflect on things, and that's a deffinate inspiration for me to keep going.
Christ! I know that feeling the reaper and I have become close friends ...All the best Courtney.
Inspiration eh my Brother for the way he has fought to overcome everything that life has thrown at him and succeeded...Hmmm this might sound strange but K2 that mountain has withstood every climber who has ever tried to conquer it and brought them right down to size
Dad...for never giving in to negativity concerning Ally he adopted him and gave my brother what he needed most love.Also he kept encouraging and supporting us with humour and good advice.
Jamie Andrew. an incredible Scotsman from Edinburgh who lost his close friend, along with his hands and feet, on Mont Blanc he has since climbed among others Kilimanjaro, and in doing so he's inspired disabled people to keep trying.
Michael Schumacher.7 times world F1 Champion 5 for my beloved Ferrari.His modesty and humour in the face of colossal pressure is truly humbling the way he handles the capricious Italian press is incredible..he is a genuis in every sense of the word but doesnt seem to realise it..I've often been left speechless by his speed car control and sheer bloody courage.
Donnie Munro..for his courage humility humour and childlike fascination with life,he never complained about my slow progress on the hills and fear on certain razor blade ridges, Donnie would just saunter on calm as you like and his complete trust in me was often very moving..
Thank you, Alex...
Cheers,
Cortney
Hey torico. I stumbled across this post, and I thought it to be a very interesting topic of discussion, so i figured that I'd contribute something, too :) First of all, I'm inspired by many things -- music being the first :) Whenever I meet others who have some sort of musical talent, I can relate to their experiences, and other times, I learn many new things from their perspective. I'm also inspired by musical theatre, novels, and plays. These things help me to grow stronger and pull through anything when times are tough. The arts give me a sense of ease and comfort, and they're also stress relievers for me :) Anyway, I think that's pretty much it. Bfn!
No problem pal.smile
take care
