Things to Inspire Me (Part 1)
A while back, Anna shared a blog she found with me. This blog was a collection of photographs and sayings that the author found inspiring. Being a writer, I thought I would do the same for a few entries. Please feel free to share photos and quotes that inspire you too. :)

This turned out really well! I'm sorry I don't have quotes and pictures to share, but one of your pictures inspired me...
ReplyDeleteYou know my favorite:
ReplyDelete"nobody can save you but yourself. you will be put again and again into nearly impossible situations. they will attempt again and again through subterfuge, guise and force to make you submit, quit and/or die quietly inside.
nobody can save you but yourself and it will be easy enough to fail so very easily but don’t, don’t, don’t. just watch them listen to them. do you want to be like that? a faceless, mindless, heartless being? do you want to experience death before death?
nobody can save you but yourself and you’re worth saving. it’s a war not easily won but if anything is worth winning then this is it.
think about it. think about saving your self.
your spiritual self. your gut self. your singing magical self and your beautiful self. save it. don’t join the dead-in-spirit.
maintain your self with humor and grace and finally if necessary wager your life as you struggle, damn the odds, damn the price.
only you can save your self.
do it! do it!
then you’ll know exactly what I am talking about."
----Charles Bukowski
How is it that I don't remember this blog??
