Inspire me

Today I will discuss the reason why it has been so long since my last blog. It is also a factor, in my opinion, that is responsible for under achievement and the general feeling of meh, cba and fml. I am of course referring to that hugely underappreciated concept of inspiration. It is a term that is flung around loosely these days, such as in graphic design when you explain which contextual "inspired" your work. Inspiration is feeling like you can do things that never seemed possible before; to look at your surroundings from an entirely different perspective. I cannot remember the last time anything has truly inspired me and I think it is this that is responsible for my lack of ambition. I genuinely cannot think of anything that has happened in the past few years that awakens my inner "get up and go". We live in an age of cuts to education, raise of university fees and the looming reality that we live on a planet that is fucked. What is there to be excited about? We live in an age where the belief in god is becoming increasingly more ludicrous, therefore the concept that we have no purpose is now widely accepted. How is that inspiring? We all need something to believe in, something to arouse our dormant potential, something that gives us the strength to persevere when things look bleak, whether it be God, Winston Churchill, the Beatles or Shakespeare. Well I’m sorry Matt Cardle, I don’t care how many pictures your new autobiography has, it doesn’t quite step up to the mark.
