My moment of inspiration first came from the song ' I Am What I Am' . It was April of last year, that I found myself standing in the middle of a room with his words flowing over me like a fresh spring shower. It was there, that I understood I had been living my life closed away. Afraid to share who I was or even to embrace it. But it was within those words that I saw what only I could teach myself. A lesson that we all must learn at some point in our lives, we can only hope that lesson is not learned too late in life. " Life's not worth a damn, until you can say ' I am what I am ' " . Those words are a mantra to live one's life by. If you hide yourself away, ashamed of who you are because everyone around you is different , you aren't living your life. You are living a lie, a painful lie that you will regret when time moves forward. Life is scary and sometimes you have to take a leap forward and embrace yourself. For until you do, no one will.
As time moved on, I have found inspiration in both his written words and the words of the songs in which he sings. Songs that carry such a strong and passionate message, that most today would have never heard if it was not for him. As talented as he is, you have to also give him a true appreciation for taking a risk and embracing a series of messages that have been forgotten.
So, I ask you all to share what your moment of inspiration or favorite piece of art created by our dear John Barrowman. I look forward to hearing what has either inspiration you or just what you favorite piece of work is.
With much love, Christina
