Day 4 - Write about someone who inspires me. I hate this prompt. It does not inspire me. No one inspires me. Everyone inspires me. I am inspired to do nothing. I am inspired to do something.

They’re My Stories I’ll Tell Them If I Want to…maybe.
This quote is kicking my butt. There is so much truth to it, but it is still so difficult to write the words. There are stories to tell, yes, but what will they cost?
