I am uninspired. Yes, I have mostly stopped taking myself too seriously, but still, I am uninspired. Or rather, I get inspired and then I start second-guessing myself and get all controlling and obsessive and dump my post in the draft folder, never to be seen again. Silly.
I don’t like myself uninspired. I dress boring. I don’t feel like putting makeup on. Being uninspired makes me uglier. As if the lack of inspiration wasn’t bad enough.
So I have been thinking of what inspires me. Friends make me feel better, less self-conscious. A walk clears my head, unless it’s all grey and drizzly outside like today. A good book relaxes me. But really, there is only one thing that inspires me: beauty. It can be a view, a gorgeous pair of shoes or a painting, no matter. It’s like it wakes me up, it’s like coffee for the soul (or something less silly, along those lines.)
So today I decided to visit flickr and search for beautiful things, and share them with you. ’cause I don’t know if beauty inspires you too, but it sure beats a kick in the shin 
So here are a few things that make me happy, just looking at them:
vintage teacups, that make me wish I was more girly and had real tea parties
flowers...
... and other pretty, colorful things
cupcakes
beautiful places to add to my list of travels
… and I already feel better.
How about you? What inspires you? What makes you happy?
