Prompt #3

“Let it be people, music, objects, or anything else, what inspires you in your life?”

I recall that when I was writing my essay for the HOBY Award thing (which I dropped out of due to me not being able to be in), we had to explain what being a leader means and I wrote somewhere in there, "... I am leader because I am my own inspiration..." I'd like to think that I am my own inspiration, because the depiction of who I want to be is in MY mind and not in others. Yes, there are many people that I look up to - Gandhi, Einstein, Glenda Hilliard, Daddy, Uncle Boboy, Auntie Melody- but it's not like one single person possesses all the qualities that I'd want to have. So maybe I should make that statement more lucid. My inspiration is not who I am now, but who, in my mind, portray myself to be in the future - all philosophies, values, opinions, likes and dislikes included.

I hope you don't misinterpret that to sound too self-centered. It's just that, I've already explained in so many previous posts that I'm a strong believer of us choosing how we want to live and what we want to do - choose our own meanings for living; so if we all make our lives how we WANT it to be, why would we let OTHER people show us who we SHOULD be? But I'm just talking about when you're seeing people as inspirations.

That's all. I haven't done homework since 5 pm. I should have done my Emigh paragraph a long time ago, but I'm just very lazy. Hasta manana. I love you.
