building inspiration

finding things throughout the day to inspire me basically is what gets me by hour to hour. I'm not sure what it is but just discovering things that release those endorphins that make you feel "high" is just bizarre to me.  THere is such a range of things that can just consume you for no reason and make you feel like a rockstar.  I discovered a pretty interesting thing last week and also honestly just 5 minutes ago.  Last week I went for a run without headphones because my busted and my run was AMAZING.  I was running the same run I always do through my neighborhood but I actually took in the scenery, the sounds, and the smells.  It was mindblowing how a stroll that I have done numerous times before became so uplifting and joyous by simply actually taking in my surroundsings.all because I didn't have that little distraction called external musical motivation.  I ran faster and lighter than I had in a while and was stoked afterwards.

But just now sitting here this cool chick I know (TMB) just hit me up with some Mac Miller music and it's brilliant.  The beat, the hooks, the lyrics (which i rarely ever actually listen to in a song) just got me on this "high" and got me so inspired.  It isn't the first time that I have gotten excited over a song because ohhh there are plenty of them out there that get to me and just get me itchin to move and sing (which isn't very pretty).  But it was the first time that I really noticed it.  And now I'm thinking how sweet would it be to go for a run and throughout the run pick 5 maybe 10 things that you really take in and remember and then come back and write a few lines down.  Of your own song.

The point here is, there is no point. You can find inspiration in things that you have seemingly tossed to the side (surroundings on a run because you're too focused on splits or music selection) or that you just never appreciated some songs for what they are.
