The inspirational are equally inspired.
I don't know how this will read, but those who know me will know it is not in vain.
I am fortuned to inspire people; learning day by day that I am a vessel, yet seemingly not making my own motions, lucky to be serving as a source or inspiration for certain people at specific points of their life where they need something to push them to the next level - and on these occassions, it ends up being me, and it is happening more now than ever before.
Well, little is it known that people like me are equally inspired by those same people who send emails, messages, and hand-written letters confessing that I serve as an inspiration for them, or even (possibly improperly) say I am their "idol" or "hero".
It makes me feel incredible to be able to be a part of the wind which changes ones' life.
This week, one of the messages was from a 14 year-old girl named Aimee. She is incredible, and will do great things. I'm going to do what I can to get her into the art high school she wants to attend, and am tempted to take this on as a "Big Sister" relationship - I think she's worth it. She has the drive I had at her age. She sees things for herself as not selfish, but as necessity to fulfill a role for which she was destined.
And I am inspired by Aimee, greatly.
She ends her emails with self-motivating lyrics from bands she likes. She likes fashion, photography, cutting her own hair, and reaching out to people that she knows will help her get to where she wants to be in her successes.
So yes. I think this will give meaning to my life, at least I hope, as I have been deeply questing for any meaning at all lately. If not this particular benevolence, then perhaps something similar. I am happy at thinking that this will work for us both, just as I often laugh knowing that to those who attempt to bring me down are possibly more inspired by my actions than anyone. It is indeed the "haters" who drive me in this life, constantly saying I can't do it and then I do. I have come to love them, they make me smile. My feelings now, as an adult? I can only hope it brings them success as well, as they will always use me as the spitting-image of levels which they would like to exceed. I wish them luck, in the sincerest way.
Thoughts for the day.
