Where I find my Inspiration (Question and answers) This is a new week to ascertain new goals, all my goals for this week have been set and one of them is on this platform. Thank God it Monday, thank God for a new week and most importantly, thank God for life. Good day everyone, am having a beautiful day and I hope you are all good too. I tried scrubbing my face with some tea tree oil for the first time and ever since I did that in the morning, my face has been so dried. I just hope my scrubbing looks good on me. As I was reading earlier, I saw some random questions and answers @Probinsyana ‘s post. It a set of self-reminiscing questions that touches our everyday life of both past and present. This one is really different from a normal question and as I read, I relate to myself in reality. Here I come with my answers to those very questions and I wish you find it interesting as you read. **What does your joy looks like today?** To be honest, at first I am grateful for life and so happy for what I am today. I feel great to have my family and loved ones around and I am so thankful we are all in good health. I might not be celebrating today of what success I have but I know what it means to me. Good health and means a lot. I am happy today and joyful because I am alive and in good health. **Where do you find inspiration?** Lots of thing (positive) inspires me. It could be a story of victory and success; it could be a good song that sings to my heart or even a book I read. I also find my inspiration from what I see people do or say. All around me I derive my inspiration from what arouses and picks my interest. I also have people that I look unto that inspires me, some of them are celebrities and stars, some are my colleagues and best friends while some are here on this platform that vibes me cool with their articles and support. **How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?** Hehe! What a jester question we got. How old I would be if I don’t know how old I am, I would simply come up with numbers and say it my age. Lol! I have people around I could ask their age and from what they say it theirs, I would deduce what age I would say I am. I would tell that from my height and size, this would help in the assumption. This reminds me of an elderly man in my village that died some years ago. No one knew what his age was and his family just came up with a number as his age. From the question at hand, I would say I am in my early twenties and of course, that what I am. **What lifts your spirit when life gets u down?** In times like this, people around me are so influential. I will need someone to talk to and someone to comfort me. Sometimes when people are not around, I would be alone and if I have to cry, I do that and maybe play some motivating songs too. Whatever I read, hear, see or even eat could be a source that lifts my spirit. This is always a difficult moment in our life but as I have always believed, we are bigger than whatever happens to us. **Have you ever regretted something you did not say or do?** Not really regret but rather tried to catch up with what I missed at the moment, as in the case of what I did not do. I might have skipped that by mistake or for any good reason. I will just try to meet up and stay update on things I didn’t do especially in school. On the other hand, I still can’t recall what I have said to maybe someone or to myself. There is just no cure for regret and I try my best to stay off that feeling. **Why do we think of others the most when they are gone?** The feeling here is just like the popular saying that “you don’t value what we have until you lose it”. When we see the faces of our family every time and all of a sudden we see them no more, there’s a feeling that comes to us and we remember out past with whose face we can’t see again, the beautiful moment that we had and what conversation we had. Our mind is filled with mute pictures and images of what we miss. All this is out of the love and affection and the bond we have created with them. They are gone forever and we will continue to miss them forever in our heart. They are not there to talk to you anymore or do things together with you anymore. It really a moment that we deserves to think about. **Is it more important to love or be loved?** This I think should be synonymous, love is love and to be loved and to love should go together. Unfortunately, they are different in a way because people can love you and you might not want to love them back. The other way round, you can love someone and the person might not love back. I think it is better to be loved because you stand the benefit. When people love you, they will always make you feel good with lots of care and affection. People can as well take or accept something from people that they don’t love but might not do anything for them. I think it is more important to be loved than to love, hehe! **If it all came back around you, will it help you or hurt you?** It would help me, yes it will. I can’t even remember doing something that hurt my friends or anyone around my circle. I try to be good at my reach and I try also to stay out of troubles. I do things I think it nice even though I might be wrong by other peoples opinion. Therefore I can say that if it ever comes back around me, it won’t hurt me but help me. `Check out my lovely sponsors` **What’s the difference between falling in love and being in love?** Am sharing my personal view and understanding here, I think it is much easier to fall in love than to stay in love. Falling in love could be by what we see and cherish to have and like to have it. You are doing something to get it to your place. You could see someone for instance and gets attracted to the person at sight and try to have something in common with that person. The feeling of falling in love might be temporal, it doesn’t last. Being in love to me means having established a desire with someone or something that last for long or forever. It involves two and two coming together as one for one (love) and the two have the same thing in common. It last forever and I could also relate to that as staying in love. **Who do you think stands between you and happiness?** I think it just me and nobody else as I decide to be happy and chose my source of happiness myself. I say to myself always that nobody can make me unhappy and this positivity has got me cool and made me strong in the face of anger. I chose what I read and I chose where to go. I know that as a human, I have the feelings but I still can control it. It left for me to decide what stands between me and my happiness and that is me. **Thank you for reading and have a lovely evening.** **@Gianna-B, 2022 and all rights reserved** `Lead image credit: Unsplash.com`
