I’ve had a number of inspirations so far. I think everyone will have a great influence on themselves or precious inspirations. Among the many inspirations, there seems to be not many that have a great influence and let you know how precious they are. That is why inspiration is all the more precious and valuable. I want to share with you one of the inspirations that I have gained from my many experiences so far. It is the most important and precious inspiration of all. This is only due to my experience. It is love. However, it is not just a lover or a special relationship, but an ordinary family love.
I will introduce how I got this inspiration. Recently, I had a new baby puppy in our house. I had a hard time knowing how to take care of this puppy. But the puppy came up to me first. I was so grateful. At that moment, I made a connection with the dog. I let the dog smell me and I gently patted him on the back. To be more specific, It was the first time I had ever seen a very small puppy, so I was more cautious and difficult. On the way, a baby puppy walked up to me while I was sitting on the mat on the floor. The puppy smelled me, and hugged me. I was happy and tried to make sure he was comfortable in his body. I changed my posture and supported my body so that he would not fall. When I think about it now, I think this was also the moment when the connection between my dog and me was achieved. I thought that rapport could also be the love between a dog and its owner. I found the love that the dog that became my family gave me. That day, I realized again the love between family members that I felt was normal and natural.
There are experiences that have arisen as a result of this inspiration. I learned that the love between family members has a great deal of filial piety. I think that if I had known this inspiration a little sooner, I could have given my family more love sooner. I will give a lot of love to my family who inspired me. First of all, the way I see others has changed in a more positive way. In my case, when I met new friends on the first day of high school, I was brighter and made more friends than before. Before, it took a lot of time and effort to get to know new friends. I am a very shy person, so it was hard for me to reach out to new friends. I sometimes hated the way I was very shy. But after realizing and valuing the love of my family, I was encouraged to reach out to my new friends first. In addition, my friends told me that my impression had changed. Before, they said I looked very timid and quiet. That is why it was even more difficult for them to get closer. However, now the atmosphere is bright and lively, making it easier for them to approach and get acquainted with. My friends said that I look much better when I change. I was happy the moment I heard that. I am very happy and grateful for this opportunity. I think the love given by my parents and my dogs has helped me to see the world and relationships more broadly.
I have another experience. I majored in art and have been studying for many exams. Every time, my parents supported me and gave me advice. In the past, I thought that my parent’s support and advice were a matter of course. For instance, on the eve of an exam, my parents encouraged me that I would do well. And when I am not drawing well and I am struggling, I am doing well with my parents. However, they told me that this part needs to be fixed. Encouraged by the compliment, I fixed the things that my parents had told me to fix. I was thankful for these small compliments and feedback, and it was encouraging. I have even heard good things from my teacher by taking this advice from my parents and making better pictures. However, I was reminded of the love between family members and that they are not taken for granted. So this inspiration has expanded my perspective on art. I only wanted to know more about contemporary art, which I was interested in. But now I’m curious about art other than contemporary art. Specifically, I became interested in ancient art and sculpture. That is why I watch documentaries and videos about it these days. I was very interested to see classical paintings that were distinct in structure and shape or characteristic, unlike modern art, which always created new shapes and concepts. I thought that classical paintings drawn with more understandable and different materials than contemporary art, which was difficult to understand, might be my style. So in the future, I want to study more about classical art or period paintings.
In conclusion, the love of the family, other than the love of the lover, which we easily think of, has a tremendous effect. The love that parents or dogs give them is not taken for granted. And thanks to the love between my family, I feel like I have gained more experiences, feelings, and knowledge. I cherish this experience, the inspiration, and the opportunity to get this inspiration. I never thought this inspiration would have such a big impact on me. I am embarrassed that I thought the love of my family was natural. And now that I think about it, I regret that I was annoyed with my parents before because I felt that family love was taken for granted. In the future, I will always value and act on the love of my family without acting emotionally.
