Inspired by Darkness

I am not sure if it is just me but I am often most inspired at night. It is not uncommon for me to lay in bed for five minutes then get up to do something. Whether that be simple tasks like cleaning my room or doing a homework assignment. Or something more thought provoking like making a special card or writing a new blog post.


The simplicity of night time inspires me and allows my mind the freedom of exploration. That combined with laying in the summer grass staring up at the clear sky, nothing can make me feel like that.


So I guess tonight I have the darkness and minimalism of the night to thank for my inspiration.


Peace, Love, & Happiness.

Swing Life Away

Music is something that makes me feel things that I often don't feel without it. It has the ability to take me to a different place and time. There are many songs that inspire me, but one in particular is extremely special to me.

Swing Life Away - Rise Against

This song has gotten me through so many tough moments, and is often turned onto repeat while I relive some of my favourite memories. I don't know if it the song so much that inspires me, although I do love the lyrics, as much as the people that I share it with.


So this post is dedicated to my camp family. I miss you everyday and I am getting excited to be coming home to all your beautiful faces at Winter Retreat. In the mean time stop for a second and listen to the song I know you can all sing along to. I hope that it has the same wonderful affect on you as it does me.


Swing life away. And DFTBA.

The person who inspires me to love right...

Posts with this title are likely to appear often and each will most likely focus on an individual or group of people that inspires me. So for my first person who inspires me that I will talk about my friend Josh.

Although I do not spend a lot of time with Josh he still plays a huge role in the person I am. We don't necessarily believe the same things but I think that is why he challenges me and succeeds.

Josh is one of the most sincere people I know and because of that he doesn't overuse the word LOVE. I will admit that I tell practically everyone that I love them and because of this it is hard to necessarily believe it every time I say so. 

Unlike Josh who only says he loves you to a very select group of people (of whom I am still fighting to join), I continue to say I love you to a lot of people. But I am working very hard to make sure that I only say it if I really really mean it. The reason I won't completely cut the word love out of all the people I tell so is that I believe that everyone should be reminded that someone in the world loves and cares about them. It is so easy to fall into a slump and feel like no one cares if you just drop of the planet. 

So to all those that I tell I love you, its cause you mean a lot to me and I care about what happens to you. Never forget that cause I will never forget you. 

Thank you Josh for teaching me and inspiring me everyday. I will really not be surprised if I dedicate another post to you in the future. <3

A Little Truth..

I haven't decided if this is entirely true or not but as a rule it seems to make some sense. 

Who inspires you?

Who inspires you?


This was my facebook and twitter and blog question in the last three days and yet I am still asking it. I want to know what makes people think or change or even just smile. Who is the person that has had some kind of changing inspiration in their life.


In my opinion this is a hard question because there are so many people who have inspired me. But I want to know at least one person who has inspired you. So if you have read this post please please please comment below and tell me who inspires you. If you want to elaborate with why that is cool but not a necessity.


Peace, Love, and Happiness. :)

May your life be filled with meaningful pointlessness.

"People are incredibly strong beings, and when a stranger says good morning to me on the street, I couldn't be happier, it makes my day! Hearing someone else's story makes you feel like you're not alone, which you're not. So thank you world :] you inspire me." ~Hayley Mummery

I have always been obsessed with quotes and songs and doodles and other little things that may have no impact on anyone else's day to day life but to me they are an inspiration. This is a new blog that I have made to help inspire me and hopefully some of you. 

I am not sure exactly what will be on here, 

questions that I want to know others answers to, 

quotes that make me smile or think, 

links to blogs or articles that have somehow found their way to me, 

pictures and music, and who knows what else. 

Anyways I hope you enjoy and know that you inspire me. :)
