A rambling about what inspires me and who I am as a person


What inspires me? This is the only question I can bring myself to answer at the moment, and even now I’m struggling a bit (it’s been a long past couple of weeks). I think that doubt and preconceived notions about myself inspires me the most. I love it when people doubt me. I thrive when someone says I’m not good enough, or under-estimates me. It’s funny, because people know almost nothing about me. So, automatically, they jump to completely wrong and ridiculous conclusions. It’s hilarious to me when I’m talking to someone for the first time and they look at me, very seriously, and they say something like “wow, I didn’t know you were actually smart.” At least get to know me before you judge me.

Ever since I heard this quote, it’s really stuck to me. The quote is from Eminem. Anyone that knows me well knows that Eminem is one of my idols. I’ve listened to his music since I was little. Anywho, the quote is “You have enemies? Good, that means you stood up for something.” I have a lot of enemies, but "I don't care if you're black, white, straight, bisexual, gay, lesbian, short, tall, fat, skinny, rich or poor. If you're nice to me, I'll be nice to you. Simple as that (Eminem)." I am very opinionated. Thus, I stand up for what I believe in very passionately. But, no matter what people say, or how much you may not like me, I will never change who I am. I will always be the same person. My clothes will change, my friends may change, my name may even change for some strange reason, but I will always be me. Whether you like that or not isn't my desicion. Nor do I honestly care. But that's how it always will be.
