on being inspired.

-

The sun is coming up, the coffee mug is in your hand, and you’re all cozied up by the window watching the world wake up. I don’t know about you, but to me, that’s the epitome of being inspired. I love those moments. Everything inside me is happy, I feel overwhelmed with thankfulness and smiles. And that feeling, that is one I love recreating.

I’ve realized this recently. Life is what we make of it. That feeling changes - sometimes, it’s of pure joy, of just being happy to be alive. Other times, it’s motivation, a feeling that I can be better and I will be better and I gotta try my best. And sometimes, it’s just contentment, and peace. Living in the moment, in whatever I’m doing, and just enjoying it. Those feelings have one thing in common - they are happy feelings, and they are ones we need to chase. Because, each in their own right, they are one of the best feelings in the world. Who says we are only allowed feel it every now and then? If I can feel like that every day, then why shouldn’t I?

In light of this, I’m starting to figure out what inspires me. What truly makes me happy. I’m only just discovering those moments, but I’ve decided to share some here. Who knows, maybe you’ll share some. Maybe this will inspire you to create your own list. Or maybe it will make you smile. Whatever the case, I hope you take something positive away. Here goes :) 

——————————————————— moments ———————————————————
  • watching the sunrise
  • mornings with a coffee mug in hand, sitting by the window
  • being with my best friends, my people :)
  • singing songs in the car with my best friends, windows down, enjoying life
  • playing games with my family
  • reading or chilling in the backyard, basking in the warm sunshine
  • being by the lake in the morning when all is silent, and it’s misty
  • on that note, canoeing out on the lake in the early morning, paddling through the misty waters
  • journalling - quotes from Pinterest, thoughts, dreams for the future, pictures/memories from the past
  • scrolling through Pinterest, letting myself be inspired and imagining the life I’m going to have

Hey hey hey! How are you all? So, it's Sunday! Meaning, I'M BACK :)))) Okay, so I thought I'd do a combination post, since I only got one question haha :D So first for the question from  +Paige Petrovsky  : What made you want to start a blog ? THANKS FOR YOUR QUESTION :))))))  I had always kind of wanted to do something like this, before I started. I loved (and still love) writing, and photography. I had just read Zoella's book, Girl Online, and so decided that it would be super cool to start a blog myself!! And here we are, two years later, still lovin' it :)) Alright. Now, I'm super excited to be doing a tag today!!!! The lovely  Sweet Treats  nominated me for the Mystery Bloggers Award!! A massive thank you to them, I'm honoured!! You should definitely go check out their blog cause it is pretty freaking awesome!! :) Also, the creator of this award is  Okoto Enigma , who is also pretty cool!!

  Hello! Long time no see, haha oops. It's been a minute. So today, I wanted to do a mini recap on my fave shows so far since quarantine! I'm sure I'm not alone in watching significantly more netflix since quarantine began lol. However, I wanted to give it a bit of a twist. So without further ado, I give you my quarantine thus far, as told through TV shows. Friends/The Goodwife - March/April/May Okay this is back when quarantine first began. My life consisted of watching Friends, doing schoolwork, procrastinating, doing more schoolwork, watching the Goodwife, and studying for exams. I can't actually remember which one I watched first - I think I watched them together. Luckily by this time there wasn't too much schoolwork left haha. But I watched all of both these shows those 3 months...I was a bit obsessed if you can't tell. But the episodes for friends were only 20ish minutes long! I would 100% recommend both of these shows though, amazing pieces of work.  10/1

Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to my blog! As a writer, I know that finding inspiration for my stories can be a bit tricky at times. When you need ideas, they never seem to come! In fact, it's a bit like automatic flushing toilets. I don't know how it is for everybody else (maybe it's just me!) but the toilets always seem to flush when you DON'T want them to, and at the most inopportune moments. But then, when you need them to flush, they never seem to work! It's a bit like finding inspiration because when you don't need to find it, it just comes to you! But then, when you have writer's block and you NEED that inspiration, it just disappears like it was never there in the first place. This is why I decided to create this blog: Get Up And Out. It's all about trying new things, and perhaps finding some inspiration along the way. Did you know that trying new things challenges your brain, and helps to prevent Alzheimer's? Plus, it can be super fun as well. I'll
