"Don't let your fire go out. Spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won. It exists. It is real. It is possible. It is yours." -Ayn Rand
This is a tough time to keep inspired, to keep motivated, and to keep optimistic. Everyone needs help getting through, which is in part what this is all about. Just listen, look, read, and hopefully become inspired too.
I'm inspired by so many things. This is a collection of some of them, whether it's music or art. I have a BS degree in interior design. I'm also an allied member of ASID. For more, just ask.
