The Way I See It... Search for Inspiration

Hey guys! Today is Friday so it is time for another The Way I See It post! Today I'm going to be talking about grasping every day and searching for inspiration in the worst times. This is something that is important to me so I'm glad to be talking about it.

Some days are great. You feel an intense surge of motivation and you just know it's going to be a good day. On other days, you don't even want to get out of bed. On those days, I think that it's important to fight through whatever is making you feel a bit off and search for inspiration. If I'm feeling uninspired when it comes to writing blog posts, I'll go and read other blogs for ideas and general inspiration. When I am looking for inspiration for blog posts, it doesn't have to be direct. For example, if I was looking for a post about society, I would think about situations I had been in lately and how this could mirror wider society. Nature can also be a giant inspiration, even if you need the inspiration to continue your day. Practice drawing inspiration from your surroundings and you will feel much more motivated to carry on.

Good luck in your inspirational journey, haha. Have a great week and I'll talk to you later. Byeee!

The Way I See It... Writing Songs

Hey guys! I hope you liked the photography post from last week but we are back to The Way I See It posts. I hope you have all had a great week since I last talked to you. Today I'm going to be talking about my love of writing songs, I think I have written a post about song writing around a year ago but that was an entirely different (and cringeworthy) era of my blog so here is the updated version.

I love writing songs. For me it is a way to simultaneously escape and face my problems and turn them into something beautiful. I started writing songs when I was going through some bullying at the age of six, I had a yellow notebook with all of my songs in it, I used that notebook for songs for two or three years until I sadly lost it at a holiday program. I still think about that notebook and I have concluded that I will probably never get that notebook back so I may as well just stop wondering what is in the notebook. I am still writing songs to replace the yellow notebook-shaped hole in my heart, I know I will never get that notebook back but I know my songwriting skills have improved over the years. Maybe sometime I will share my music with you, until then here are some of the musical artist that inspire me greatly:
Dodie Clark
Lorde
Lauren Aquilina
Nina Nesbitt
Adele
Melanie Martinez
Halsey

Thank you so much for listening to my ramblings about songwriting. Do you write songs? What artists inspire you musically? Tell me in the comments. I hope you have a wonderful week and I will talk to you very soon!

What's In My Camera | Part 2

Hey guys! This week has been a really busy week for me so I haven't had time to write a quality post for my The Way I See It series. I don't believe in posting if the post isn't something I am honestly proud of and I need time, which I haven't had, to create that. Instead of this week's The Way I See It post, I figured it would make sense to post a photography, as this is something I haven't done in a while.












Thank you very much for looking at my photography, I really love it and I hope that shines through in the photos! Have a great and I will talk to you very soon!
