The all encompassing Inspiration thread
There are very powerful things in the world that can inspire people... Not wanting to hijack anyone else's thread because I felt I was going to just now ~ I've decided just to make a thread to post inspirational things and see what inspires others. Videos, Music, Lyrics, Quotes, Poems, Pictures, Personal Experience ~
What inspires you to do what you do?
