Inspiring People

"When I grow up I want to be like...."

I'm sure we've all been asked at some point to finish that sentence. My answer was always the same. I wanted to be like my mother. It's a common trope in shows and movies where you find a woman saying 'Oh no I'm turning into my mother!' and that is a negative thing. For me it never was.

My mum is an independent woman who raised two children, whilst juggling a job and a puppy. My parents separated when I was about 6 and I stopped seeing my Dad when I was 7.  I honestly don't believe I would be the person I am today without her love and support. I also wouldn't have had a dog!

As I have gotten older I have found more people that inspire me. So here is my list of people who inspire me to improve.

My mum - as stated above she supported and helped me in whatever way she could. She showed me it's okay to be do things alone and that you should always strive to do your best and work hard.

Jenn - I've mentioned her before and she is a close friend of mine. This is going to sound so cheesy but she has inspired me to improve my writing and give it a go no matter what anyone thinks.

Klaire DeLys - A youtuber who I admire greatly. She thinks outside the box and is a great make-up artist, singer, songwriter, artist and author! She makes me want to try harder at my craft and not let anything stop me.

Rebecca Jane Brown (formerly Beckie0) - Another youtuber. Beckie shares her loves, passions and troubles with the world and has shown me it is okay to be upset. Life isn't perfect and things don't go the way you want them to but it's okay to be vulnerable. She has also shown that we should speak up our opinions and give our input into the things we care about.

So my question to you all is 'Who inspires you?'

Take care

Sophie
