Post #4: Making A Splash





*Reach the sky, with all you've got, you have the power, whether you know it or not*





 
Take pictures. They capture inexplicable moments and memories.



 I took last this picture at Candle Lake, where a lot of crazy-fun memories were born.
I was sitting in a lawn chair with my mom, reading a One Direction magazine of course, when I realized how pretty the outdoors can be. My favorite thing about summer is the beauty of nature; I honestly would be entertained for hours, just watching the waves move across the lake. I only had my i-Pod with me, so I decided that would have to do if I wanted to take pictures. So I snapped photos of the glimmering sun on the lake, the nearly cloudless sky, and of my fingers embedded in the sand of the lake. I was splashing water around my feet when I was lucky enough to catch this shot. 
Thanks to a little editing on Instagram, I'll never forget that day. :)

Post #3: Twitter Fame

Internet Popular. Cyber Superstar. Twitter Fame.

These words are the last words that flash before my eyes before I fall asleep.
Just kidding, but the idea of a thousand followers on Twitter is something I'd like to achieve in my life. If you look a bit to the left, you'll see a countdown to that very day. It's true, I gave myself over 2 years. I'm not THAT ambitious.
But goals are good things, readers. I don't exactly know what I'm going to do with my life, but I still like to look forward to things, and to set goals for myself.
So I'm going to tweet funny things, happy things, and sad things. I'm promising you that I'll follow all the right people. I'LL ACHIEVE MY DREAM.
AND YOU SHOULD TOO!
So make a goal. Whether it's to not fail any classes this year or to try every kind of Booster Juice... Tell yourself what you want to do, And Achieve It.
And if I can't inspire you with my story of Twitter Fame, here's a beautiful quote from Jim Rohn-

“Goals. There's no telling what you can do when you get inspired by them. There's no telling what you can do when you believe in them. There's no telling what will happen when you act upon them.”

Post #2: A Little About Me

Hey, Readers :)
So I'm sitting here wondering, "Hmm, what will be for supper tonight?". I also wonder what makes hyenas laugh so hard. Lastly, I wonder, "Do I have any fans yet? Any lonely people out there who long for my next blog post?"
Honestly, I doubt it. But one can always hope!
You see, I've always wanted to be internet famous. Don't laugh. That's what I want to be when I grow up, okay? To have 1 million views on Youtube, 200 blog page views a day, or 1k followers on Twitter... Yes. That's what I look forward to. The day I'm internet famous. That, and Christmas.
So a little about me...Well. *takes a deep breath*
I like bacon, sushi... and okay, let's face it- I love all food. I have a weird obsession for spelling & grammar even though sometimes I'm awful at both. I love singing, and can play piano although I usually don't. I leave my homework to the last minute ALL THE TIME but somehow it's never handed in late. I guess you could say I work well under pressure,
like how I'm trying to spurt out everything I can about me before the bell rings for this I.P class to be over. I'm pretty horrible at texting back within half an hour, and I'd probably get more sleep at night if I didn't have an I-Pod. Sometimes I think I'm addicted to Twitter. I love english class. I try to thank God everyday for all I have. Jesus is ma brother yo. Sometimes I try to talk all gangster and mostly it doesn't work out. I really love old people, and babies. I feel bad for my wonderful I.P teacher because if she has to read these long posts, it may be a liiiiittle time-consuming. :) I like all genres of music, from pop to country, to 50's and 60's music, to Rock and roll, to hip hop/rap, to generally sad songs. I swim a lot, and do other activities that I'm too lazy to type out. Yes, that's it. I have enough energy to do tons of stuff outside of school but when it comes to other things I get lazy. I like Marianas Trench, Maroon 5 (especially their older music), Beyoncé, Bon Iver, Taylor Swift, The Beatles, Janis Joplin, One Direction, Elvis Presley, and many other artists. I'm willing to bet that I know more about Pokémon than the average girl my age, and if you don't know what Pokémon is.... Well then there's the door.

I should have titled this post "A Lot About Me". There's much more I could say, and like I may have already mentioned, I have a bad habit of rambling on. And procastinating. Because right now, I should actually be doing math homework.
So wether you actually read that whole post, or you scrolled to the end, thanks for reading. <3

P.s if you're waiting to be inspired, trust me, I'll get there. c:

Post #1: Hello

Here we go guys.  My very first blog post. I feel like I should be reading outloud as I type but then maybe that's weird. I also feel like Julie Powell from the movie Julie & Julia. Have you ever seen that movie? If not, talk about awkward. I mean, how am I supposed to know what kind of movies you watch? I don't even know who you are! Which brings me to my next point. Why are you reading this blog? Maybe you saw the title of this blog "Inspired", and you thought to yourself, "Golly Gee Wilikers. I sure could use some inspiration in my life,"... Well if you say Golly Gee Wilikers then you can just get out of here. Go join eHarmony, because to be honest you're not going to have much luck finding someone who appreciates your way of speaking. But you did come to the right place! So maybe I can help you with your weird ways of speach :)
You see, I thought and thought about what sort of blog I wanted to create. I sat there for like, half an hour pondering a possible theme. It hit me like a punch to the face. This voice inside my head, which I believe to have been my subconscious, told me, "I'm hungry." And it also told me, "If you want many people to read your blog, you must have something for everyone. You shall please the nation with posts of music, stories, jokes, lyrics, pictures, videos, quotes, rants, dreams, art, and the sort. You will be... A Superstar." (Echo: star, star, star....)
So I'll try my very best to inspire you, my readers. Awh, that's kind of cute actually. I'll call you mysterious blog-stalkers my Readers.
Maybe I'll post something every day, or maybe once a week. Of this, I'm not too sure yet. Although this post has been long, and some of it irrelivant to the theme of this blog, it will get better.
I hope. c:
I leave you with this quote by Muhammad Ali,
"I hated every minute of training, but I said, 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.'"
Peace, Readers. ☮
