Now I can find inspiration even sitting at the computer in my own home; the wet leaf stuck to my window, a haphazard stack of magazines on the carpet, the sun angling through the convoluted branches of the maple tree outside. I think this change of perspective came one day when I realized that inspiration is simply a state of mind. If you're hungry, you eat. If you want to be inspired, you eat what you see.

It's soul crushing! I am always at my most creative when Im surrounded by a pleasant atmosphere; sun coming in through the window, bright and warm air, etc.
