WHAT INSPIRES ME?

           Inspiration is defined as “something that makes someone want to do something or that gives someone an idea about what to do or create”. Previously, I hadn’t thought that I even had an inspiration. Thinking about this topic now, I realize that everyone has an inspiration, whether they realize it or not. Even if you don’t want to have an inspiration, at some point in your life, you’ve had one or you will. 

            My inspiration is books. Be it fictional or non-fictional, books are my inspiration. I’m aware that I sound like a massive nerd, but it’s true. Since a young age, I have turned to books to “solve” my problems. Surely Harry Potter who defeated Lord Voldemort could help me pass my Math test! This, as I unfortunately found out not long after, was not true.

            However, this didn’t solve me from inhaling stories as quickly and easily as I would oxygen. Books have inspired me to be the person I am today. I aim to be as witty as Alaska Young, as intelligent as Hermione Granger (if that’s even possible), as deadly as Katniss Everdeen and as confident as Jace Wayland.

            These sheets of paper have taught me so much and helped me grow as a person. It might seem trivial to you, but those printed words have changed me. I’m hoping they’ve changed me for the better. If there is something I love in the world, it’s books and I am not ashamed to admit it.

            To those of you who have been reading this is in horror, I apologize for my nerdiness. However, I urge to read a book. And I mean really try. Begin with an open mind and read every word till the end. You might be surprised with how you feel at the end of that book.

Thanks for reading! :)
