5 things that inspire me.
- My family/Brother - My family are amazing and very supportive. My brother is inspiration to me, as he is is doing everything he said he ever wanted to do, nothing has stopped him. I believe that he will be a big success as he is very talented. He inspires me to do what I want to do with my life just as he has.
- People listening to music, when you can see that someone is really enjoying a piece of music or song - seeing someone getting lost in music is very inspiring, it makes you think about what they are thinking, feeling and what they are going through, music is very powerful and allows people to have emotional ties to particular songs.
- Newspapers - The morning newspapers inspire my day. When I wake up I'm thinking more about what to wear and the things I need for the day, then on the bus reading the newspaper broadens my mind, and makes me think about everything which is happening in the world and the local news rather than little problems that don't really matter in retrospect.
- Animals mainly dogs - I don't have a dog, although people who are close to me do called Molly Minnie and Belle and they mean so much to me and also inspire me. The relationship between my grandpa and his dog, Molly, inspires me, as I know how much she means to him, you would never find them without each other. Molly Minnie and Belle inspire me with how protective they are and loving there are towards me and the family.
- Stationary shops - I enjoy nothing better than walking around stationary shops, with art and craft sections, I could do it for hours. It inspires me because it makes me want to experiment with different materials and styles, and makes me think about everything you could do with all the different materials and colours.
