My Inspiration


Sylvia Plath, I don't think I could start to describe how much of a hero she is to me.

I'm currently reading 'The Journals of Sylvia Plath' and I keep finding myself crying over it just because her thoughts are so beautiful and full of meaning. I find that she can write a sentence which describes perfectly something that I have felt or thought previously but would never have been able to put into words. Even better than that, she has this ability to describe something that I have never felt or thought about in a manner that makes me feel as if I have and as if the thought were mine. She can write about the simplest of things and still make it seem incredibly significant and meaningful.

“If the moon smiled, she would resemble you. You leave the same impression  of something beautiful, but annihilating.”   - Sylvia Plath
