an example of inspiration

My favorite subject in year 6 at school was called 'themes'. I neglected everything else and would spend hours working on this subject, completely absorbed in the creative project. It was kind of meant to be about writing, but for me it became more about filling the page I'd written on with color. 

What initially inspired me was that our teacher showed us a notebook that was done by one of his past students. It showed me what was possible. The interesting thing was that the work I went on to create, inspired by the notebook he showed us, was nothing like that notebook, and yet the notebook was in many ways my goal.
