Inspiration

Because you think you never inspired me:
You inspired me to keep going when I had already given up.
You inspired me to wake up when I was hiding from the world.
You inspired me to fight when I had already been beaten down.
You inspired me to forgive myself when I didn't think HE would.
You inspired me to never settle, because "too many people were counting on me"
You inspired me to spend more time with my family.
You inspired me to never deny myself Chocolate ice cream.
You inspired me to accept nothing less than exactly what I wanted.
You inspired me to find happiness again.
You inspired me to read EVERYTHING that ever came in front of me.
You inspired me to clean up my house, when it was at the point of no return.
You inspired me to get in touch with my inner OCD.
You inspired me to get rid of all that baggage I was holding on to.
You made me trust again...
It's not everyday something inspires me, but everyday I was inspired by you.
