Here's To Future Days

Positivity

I know that our society runs on sensationalism, bad news, tabloid gossip, sex, other people's misfortune, war, and tends to focus on negativity, but I refuse to do so. You will never see any such material on Inspiration Nation. I don't care if this blog doesn't get as many views as the bad stuff does, that's not why I'm doing this. It's not what inspires me. I believe you can be inspired by the bad stuff, and when I say that I mean that you can be inspired to change it and alleviate suffering it causes. However, I believe in positivity. I believe in finding happiness and holding on to it. I would like to hear more about the good stuff, because society and the media focus on the bad stuff so much that it makes the world look like a dark, terrible place, and don't get me wrong there are many tragedies in the world and you can't erase it all nor stop it, but I believe you can replace it, and I truly think there are many wonderful things and people left in the world, and I choose Inspiration and happiness :)

Don't Worry Be Happy

"Happiness is a form of courage," Holbrook Jackson said. I find this more and more true everyday. There is so much out there to bring you down. Life is full of bad things, hard times, stress, and people that make you want to just curl up in a ball and stay inside. That's the easy way to respond to the bad stuff. There will always be opposition in life. Happiness is something you choose. And sometimes, you have to fight for your happiness. You have to rise above everything trying to drag you down. Stay strong. Look for things that make you happy and focus on them. There may always be stress, sad times, chaos, but there is also love, good times, and light so find what you love and add that to your life as much as you can. Keep faith and hope and remember you are never alone. :)

Fridge Art & Heart Attack (Figuratively and Literally)

I wanted to make our apartment kitchen more home-y and exciting so I made a collage on our fridge of my three lovely roommates: Hannah, Rian and McHale, and myself! I put our pictures with our names and pictures of things we like. I also put other random pictures! Here is my fridge art :)

On Valentines Day, our neighbor and friend who lives in the apartment below us "heart attacked" our apartment door! It gave us a heart attack figuratively and nearly literally haha! And he left sooo much candy, flowers, a rose, a stuffed animal, and card. How thoughtful. The pictures speak for themselves.

My Life As Liz?

This is me.

This is Liz.

Liz is (as you probably know) from the MTV show My Life As Liz. My friends, family, and strangers think I look just like her, but I don't see the resemblance! I'm serious, they always insist I do, and I don't understand it! What do you think?

Sorry!

I missed yesterday and didn't post anything :( My apologizes. You know how busy life can be! School, work, family, being sick for a zillion days with a cold/flu that won't go away, etc can take all your time. I hope everyone has a wonderful day/week/month/year! I read in Oprah magazine an article about creativity. It said that everyone is creative and basically we all start out super creative, but then we start going to school and comparing ourselves to everyone around us and thinking we aren't good enough so we stop trying and it limits the creative process. So stop comparing. We are all different. Don't change for anyone. Creativity doesn't have to be about composing the next major hit song or painting or something huge, it can be little things every day that you do. Like this blog is an expression of me and my creativity. Being creative helps your well being and gives you a sense of accomplishment. As I've stated this blog isn't the best blog in the world, nor the most read, but it's mine and it's my way of inspiring others and expressing myself. Do something you love and think like a kid without boundaries or limitations. Imma share a few pictures with you today including some McDreamy. Enjoy :)

 

 

Be Your Own Valentine

Happy Valentines Day.

I love you all with all of my heart.

One of my bosses just gave me a piece of Dove dark chocolate and it said Be Your Own Valentine. I think it's fitting for all of us single people out there. It's always important to love yourself so treat yourself to something special even if it's just chocolate (it makes you feel better). Or better yet, send your love to friends and family. I know they would adore that. It doesn't have to be all about loving a significant other or boyfriend or girlfriend. It's about love. So love everyone :) and have a lovely day!
