Today’s prompt is “Who inspires you?”. Five people and three things came to mind as sources of inspiration. The things that came to mind are things that make me happy. Things my mind goes to when I’m feeling anxious or overwhelmed. The people that came to mind have said things that have impacted my life. Have given me courage or confidence. They are influencers and changers. People I aspire to be like. People who encourage me to become my best. It’s hard to describe exactly how people influence me, it’s more just a gut feeling. But I’ll give it my best go! (The first 4 images via Pinterest.)

Amy Poehler

In case you didn’t realise it from my Favourite Books blog post, I’m slightly obsessed with Amy Poehler. She’s so smart, funny and, well, inspirational. This BuzzFeed article shares some of my favourite quotes, but it doesn’t even begin to describe how awesome she is and how much her work has meant to me.

Emma Watson

Emma Watson is amazing. This article shows some of her fabulous quotes. She seems like one of the few celebrities of her age that didn’t go crazy. The fact that she graduated from Brown, did all the Harry Potter films, and is now a UN Ambassador is unbelievable! So inspirational. And I really like her HeForShe Campaign. And the quote in this picture really speaks to me at this point in my life.

JK Rowling

J.K. Rowling wrote my favourite book series. She wrote strong female characters, created a whole entire world that I escape to, and changed my life. She really gives back to the community. More inspiration!

Lorelai Gilmore

Gilmore Girls is my favourite show. Always has been, always will be. I cannot possibly count the number of times I have watched the series. Lorelai was such a powerful character. Hilarious, spunky, and beautiful, she always knew what to say and always said the funniest things. I like to think I’m a mesh between her and Rory but I always wish I had Lorelai’s strength and confidence. Watching her on GG never gets old!

My Friends (not all pictured)

I’m blessed to have such great friends, from Tampa, from Davidson and from London. They are gracious, hilarious and fantastic people to be around. They’ve been supportive of me at my lowest moments and have helped me become the best version of myself.

Mild,  Sunny Days

I don’t like hot weather but I love mild, sunny days, when you can just feel the warmth of the sun hitting your face without getting hot. Those are perfect days to me. This day (pictured) in Leiden was like that. We have been getting a few of them here in London which is lovely but incredibly unfortunate since I’ve been revising! I won’t get to really experience them until Davidson Fall.

Tea

I’ve never liked coffee (the one time I tried it I gagged and spat it all over the room, whoops!). Tea is my life. It is happiness. I have at least one cup once a day, sometimes it jumps to 5 or 6. But it always seems to clear my head. I drink tea when I need to think or focus so I definitely consider it inspirational :)

Flowers

Flowers are beautiful. They always make me happy. Each one is different and unique in its own way. They are life. They are flawless in their imperfect ways. That’s why going to Keukenhof was basically a dream come true for me. It was seeing some of my favourite things in the world all together in one place.

Who or what inspires you?
