[precaution; post may be lengthful; but not too lengthy]


pain inspires me; and it hurts me more than it hurts you.

for some reason; throughout life i have found inspiration in alot of places; i have found inspiration from other peoples works. i have survived depression from the internet and more specifically through painful events people have posted about throughout the cloud/world wide web/interweb/whatever you call it, i call it the zombie party palace. but the name doesn't matter; the point is that the internet was there for me a little quicker than real people; but i'm unhappy without real people around.

but for me; i find life isn't just one way or the other; i find life is like a ticking time bomb ticking away until it blows up in your face; i find life is like a repeat button, getting more and more annoying the more you live within it; i find life is like a fart, because it stinks but there is more to the science of farts than smell; i find life to be ironic, like a story. life is complicated.


... sometimes i find inspiration in books, not just youtube videos or music artists. i find inspiration in fictional books like "a dogs life: an autobiography of a stray", "the percy jackson series", "harry potter", "the hunger games", "watership down", "forest of hands and teeth", "the dead tossed waves" and a large variety of fictional books i have yet to discover or can't recall for the moment. i also find inspiration in math and art and music and "the fundamentals" and psychology and sociology and therapy and all this other stuff i want to understand and study and come to understand and use to make the world around me pretty damn awesome.

other times; i need people to talk to me like zefrank did from youtube. i found that zefrank knew someething about what i was going through and specifically he was good at calming my fears.
he also helped me empathize with other people: he helped me to think for myself. he helped me to understand things i couldn't naturally.

he had a way; that ze. he taught me how to let go:

the greatest thing he did for me was remind me that i'm only human:

he also brought me to ted; a youtube channel about spreading good ideas. here's some tedianites 😁


but as i think more introspectively out of choice and freewill; i decide that sometimes inspiration has to come from within. i like to think of eminem's song "beautiful"

and i also think eminem was talking more about empathy than anything else.

but i wanted to create a little post about inspiration; and i also wanted to ask, what inspires you? if you wish, you can post about what inspires you and how that is a good thing.

it's always nice to connect with people; so i just thought i'd do something with a post and see if other people have gone through similar shoes.
