rubahSometimes I find inspiration in strange places. I wouldn't say I'm easily inspired , but watching anything on a stage makes me want to perform. And being purely just a shower singer (Much to my parent's dismay) , It is a solely closet desire.
Watching Sex and The City makes me want to fly down a city street screaming out the window of a taxi. Watching Queer Eye , What not To Wear , or any makeover show , makes me want to be a stylist. Watching the Matrix makes me want to kick ass , do backflips , and wear leather.
But sometimes it's other things that inspire me.
The summer after sixth grade , I had a camp counselor who was the most amazing person. She was so nice to everyone , always smiling , and just everything I wish I could be as a person , a friend , a sister , a daughter , or anything in between.
When my friends are upset , bawling , or depressed because of something a boy did , it inspires me to want to be strong enough to , if it were to happen to me , to get rid of the boy before it happens.
When I watch Finding Nemo , and laugh at Dory , or watch Comedy Central and see a hilarious female comedian , I am inspired to be that funny , or to see the humour in all situations like they can.
And when I read this quote , I was inspired in a totally different way.
"I really hate it when strange men on the street say "Smile! You'd look so much prettier if you'd smile." I always feel like saying "Get Hard! You'd look so much more useful if you had an erection!" -Cathryn Michon
It's quotes like that , and the many other like them that I have tacked up all over my room , my school supplies , and in my mind that I want to inspire me to be a strong , independant woman.
But at the moment , this Strong , Independant Woman's mother wants her to clean her room.
I swear , it is just parental. They just like to make their children clean. I mean , do you think they honestly care whether or not your room is clean? I mean , they don't even have to walk in it if they don't want to? I can keep the door closed , and she'll never have to know it't here.
And yet , she acts like her life will be outrageously improved if my room is clean.
So , as I was beginning to clean my room , I found the University and College information packets I started collecting earlier this year in hopes of figuring out what it was I wanted to do.
I still have no idea. Sometimes I get to thinking about studying writing , journalism or that kind of thing. Other times I'll want to study science , like biology , chemistry , or forensics. Sometimes I want to be an engineer , other times , an artist , a publisher , a sculptor. Maybe a fashion designer , even though I have absoloutely no sense of style. Sometimes I wish I had the talent to be on Broadway , or any theater , the charisma for TV , or the wit to have my own column in some magazine. Maybe a photographer , covering fashion week in new york , or travelling the world with national geographic , or taking pictures at someone's wedding. I could be an interior designer , designing people's homes , or planning stores and restaurants.
And it's only after thinking about all of this , I think I should just run off and join the circus.
I wish it were that easy!
