A blank page stares at me in the face.

Inspiration is hard to come by, or so I’ve been told. I believe wholeheartedly it now.

My friend said there was a store at the mall that sold fresh inspiration daily. She might’ve just been teasing, but you never know, especially with her. My friends are like that. But I think I definitely need to go there.

It’s unknown to me, too. Lately I’ve been pressured by everyone to do something, to get something done, to have a purpose. The latter statement being specifically from my parents. They’re great people for support. Love you too, Dad.

Trying my hand at writing isn’t the best thing for me to do, I decide. I close my laptop and twirl myself around and around in my spinning chair, beginning to daydream about inspiration and everything I could be able to do if only I were good at it.

Unknown.
I’ll never be able to get that word out of my head.
