As a creative writer/artist it's important for me to find inspiration in a variety of ways. Not all muses are beautiful. I find that sometimes the things that inspire me the most are often disturbing, disgusting, and devoid of any true light or inspiration. Yet, as daunting as they seem, somehow these kinds of things inspire me to do the most. They inspire me to do something beautiful; to speak, to cry, to write. In that very moment I realize how grateful I am for this darkness.. without it I would not know my light.
