<p><a href="http://chasingamiracle.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/cityskies11.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2634" title="cityskies1" src="http://chasingamiracle.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/cityskies11-300x246.jpg" alt="" width="180" height="148" /></a>Sometimes i have to wonder where my inspiration went.</p>
<p>I used to wake up and want to be creative, i used to wake up with a thousand ideas running through my mind, not to be able to go back to sleep until the ideas were on paper... I used to be creative...</p>
<p>But since last year i am not... I have lost my inspiration.</p>
<p>Last year through all that i went though i lost the urge to paint and draw, i lost my inspiration, my creativity.</p>
<p>I thought it would come back, i thought that this year with all the hope i have, with everything turned out for the better, with my dreams slowly becoming reality, i thought my creativity and my inspiration would return.</p>
<p>But last night as i began my much anticipated paint class, i realised that everything i used to have is hidden, buried much deeper that i ever expected.</p>
<p>I gave it away, i gave something of myself away last year, and now as i sit here trying to find the inspiration i need, trying to find that part of me i used to love so much, trying to find what once gave me peace, i wonder why i let it go.  I wonder why i gave up something that i used to love so much?<a href="http://chasingamiracle.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/inside1.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2635" title="inside1" src="http://chasingamiracle.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/inside1-233x300.jpg" alt="" width="186" height="240" /></a></p>
<p>What makes us dive so deep into a hole that we cant get out?</p>
<p>I need to find my inspiration, my creativity, i need to find my confidence, and i need to find the passion i once had for art.  My mind tells me the only way i can achieve that is to pull myself back to who i once was, forget what i lost, and focus on what i have.</p>
<p><a href="http://chasingamiracle.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/lucky-bamboo1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2636" title="lucky-bamboo1" src="http://chasingamiracle.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/lucky-bamboo1-132x300.jpg" alt="" width="79" height="180" /></a>I think only then will i find the <a href="http://aestheticinteriors.com.au/aesthetic-artwork/#content" target="_blank">creativity i once possessed</a>, find the inspiration and confidence i so desperately desire...</p>
