An ordinary person can bring you so much inspiration.
Even a stranger can do, through his simple acts. A simple question to ask,
who’s mine? How about yours?
I am not the type of person who was so enthralled by
the idea of the celebrities then. I mean, I am not the one who turns out to be
an avid fan, who really wants to know everything about their idol. But all of a
sudden, everything changed when I was in fourth year high school.
I bet all of us know the song ‘Love Story’ by Taylor
Swift. Since I’ve heard that song and saw the music video of it, I started to
like her and dag her ‘history’. Likewise, that’s the time I’ve got very broken
hearted.
I’ve listened to all of her songs in her two albums
(that was 2009) and I was so fascinated by her works. She wrote in a way that
she freely expressed her emotions and that kind of writing is very much
appreciated by readers/listeners. I was inspired by how she handled her
heart-breaking experiences, and that is through writing songs about it. She
didn’t let those pains to drag her down, instead she used them as fuel.
Then, I told myself, if she can do something like
that, so do I. I was badly hurt back then in love so I mimicked what she’d
done. I grabbed a pen a paper and I wrote down everything I felt, the pains and
emotions flown. And that’s it. I fell in love to the idea of writing songs and
poems. That time, I make sure that every single day, I was able to write
something.
If it’s not for Taylor and to that said girl, I won’t
be inspired to write consistently which seems that it is already a part of my
life, that I feel when I haven’t got hold of my pen and paper, I’m incomplete.
Right now, would you believe that I’ve already written more or less 600 songs
and less than hundred poems. Even I couldn’t believe it. But that’s what
inspiration can do.
Thanks to Taylor Swift for inspiring me a lot. Not
all people can bring much inspiration to others. Also, thank you to that girl
who broke my heart back then when I was fifteen because without the pains she
caused, I won’t have something to write to. I know that I am not the only
person who has been inspired by Taylor Swift, we are thousands, we are
millions. Lucky for us to have someone like Taylor who truly inspires us in
every single work she does.
Heartaches weren’t created to pull you down, instead,
for you to strive harder than ever. It’s only up to you how you will handle it,
how you will take it. Only two things can happen whenever you’re in pain,
whether you’ve got stuck in the moment and be a prisoner of your past or you
moved on, emerge as a better person, learn from your past and appreciate the
simple things life can offer.
