Inspiration is one of the freest acts one we can commit. There are no boundaries on what can play the role of inspiration to any given person. It can range from fellow artists, to the way the leaves fall off a tree, to childhood memories, to the weather. Absolutely anything and everything goes. That is beauty here. Very few things in our lives have no limitations. There always seem to be a schedule, spoken or unspoken, that we all follow in our respective lives. Inspiration does not fall into any category or schedule except that of its own.
Most of my inspiration comes from other artists. Listening to my favorite songs and watching my favorite shows allows me to delve deep into my own thoughts and determine why these specific songs and shows are indeed my favorite. What qualities do I fall in love with that cause the addiction I have with these various types of media? Half of the universe can be completely infatuated with a particular show and each and every individual has a different reason for why it touches them deeply. Personally, I love shows that make me feel like I have the same experiences as the characters. It makes them real. It makes me feel like I'm not watching a show, but like I am hanging out with friends.
For someone as interested in all forms of media such as myself, it is inevitable not to become one with the forms of art that I'm interested in. These artistically gifted masterminds creating shows such as Grey's Anatomy, Scandal, Modern Family, Friends, Pretty Little Liars, Revenge, etc. all make me feel like I am a part of the cast and crew in which they work with every day. They have the ability to write so profoundly that they have created a drug that I never want to get
So, to sum up the jumbled up mess. I am addicted to the creativity of great television shows and songs. They is nothing like getting to personally involved in a show that you feel like you, too, are a character. I hope that one day I find it somewhere down in my body that I stumble upon my creative bone and am inspired like the unbelievable Shonda Rhimes and Steve Levitan and can create something that others get addicted to, just like I have.
Desperately holding on to the faith in myself to find this bone sooner rather than later and start my unbelievable journey to sharing my own addictive drug that is Primetime Television.
