My Writing inspirations:Tavi Gevingson ;Being a multi-artist

My inspiration :Why I Write

I don't remember ever being in love with the idea of writing but more with the idea of sharing something with others.In an over all sense that's exactly what writing might be.All good writing is done from a core within the writer that later seeks to be dug out by others and be understood.Someone who is in pain may only write to vent ,to let emotions come out , in turn it can also serve the reader to understand that emotion on another perspective.

I myself write about topics that have occurred or inspired to me.I love writing about music and art as a idea to share with others because I love such topics.Ever since high-school I knew I wanted be a music writer no matter all the bad shade thrown at women in the field.However I grew out of wanting to strictly write about music because there's so much more that effects me daily and I want to be able share those impacts.

Topics that catch my attention as a writer are women's rights,psychology,travel,decor and most types of art including
painting,photography,poetry,literature,film and fashion.The reason I specifically center around these topics is because as a writer I respect such work immensely. Mostly because the work in such fields, I have myself longed to produce.Although I love writing as both an art and as a medium to interact with others ,I have always longed to be a multi-artist.I only get a glimpse of the work when writing about it ,yet  I rather write about it than not have any association at all.

As a writer who is interested in multiple topics I have always been inspired by publications zines like Rookie magazine,Dazed and Confused,I-d magazine,Interview magazine,Nylon and my recent favorite Austere magazine.Austere is home based publication here in Denton/Dallas, Texas.Their topics include topics on fashion,music,art forms,and people.I wish I had known about them much  earlier because they are magnificent and a great bunch of individuals .I hope be as bold as them,and make my produce in a formal not so formal way.Work for the men while doing what I love.

Individuals ,more like heroines like Petra Collins and Tavi Gevingson from Rookie Magazine have set the doors and liberated so many young girls and guys.They write about daily life problems and in that style they prove to  be exceptionally like no other publishing site.They are an open book of great art fumes and condolences ,wrapped in sympathy for all lost teenagers.There's not a day when my writing doesn't reflect the values and humanism ideals of being a young teenage girl because of the confidence they have provided me with so.My honest writing has been greatly influenced by them.Yes,Tavi Genvingson is my ultimate hero and I thank her for allowing such movement in the publishing works to be abound.All in hope I will work to become someone like her a young women and a great vision that helped many.

How (F.O.M.O) is mentally and physically damaging through a digital spectrum

In this  new age of high technology innovations which are created  to represent social trends adhering to the masses. With all social mediums at the realm of admiration for almost everything in our lives.

Countless social media dominating a new part of our reality everyday.We not so much socialize with such mediums but rather find our selves waiting for every post a certain celebrity or commercial brand/organization makes.It sends jolts through us  knowing we are the first to heart,like or favorite a post of  that public figure.As though they might notice such things,we then make some witty and often dumb and unnecessary comment as it 

Some of us are so desperate for social media attention that we become so engulfed with this fake manifestation .Once we reach  more twitter followers than we followed back , were ultimately too good to have any real friends.We spent countless of hours perfecting our selfies because we want to show how "ridiculous good looking" we can be to our hypocrite fan span.At night we cant sleep at the thought of forgetting to post that funny or overly dramatic Facebook / Twitter status.The best of all Snap chat because who does not want to see your flattering face all fucking day long while sending cute messages to your friends.Seeing all those absurd meal pictures,more countless selfies,chasing of a squirrel  or dog doing some dumb trick and my personal favorite the driving while lip syncing  Drake sums up my snap chat feed.

This is what most of us are somewhat scared to miss out on.I myself was and sometimes can still be drawn to social media because I don't want to miss another Kardasian nude or Taylor Swift twitter cat fight.It all this absurdity in lack of faith to real human interaction can in fact be more self inflicting for our health and in part make us hate each other even more.

Now there have been a very few scenarios in which I could gracefully use social media to actually interact meaningfully with another human being.Also there been times where I lost my phone and resorted to sending a message to a fiend via social media and hours later they  replied.It also can be a good dis-stressor for when you want to rant about how that lady who forgot to use almond milk in your Starbucks dared to misspell your name.Because who else will forcefully listen to such crap.It also great for finding old friends or new ones a.k.a stalking.I myself have invested myself in the art as it is the most beneficial thing about it anyway.

However this social media co-dependency is really messing with our mental and physical health.For instance we often look up ideas based on consumer driven media which takes over our own personal perspectives.Like the idealism of beauty,talent,social awareness and intellectualism .Although social media is diverse in age and nationality it hardly does any justice in bringing those groups together.We sometimes can infer the worst about others and even comment disgusting remarks because they are not like us.I know that racism and prejudice is nothing new yet online world makes more possible.

Young girls are the one that feel often subjugated to feed into this social media spring.They are most likely to follow up on newly,and sometimes silly trends.A lot  of which leave girls feeling unfitted because of the constant need to stay on top of these trends.A lot start to develop eating disorders as they long for unhealthy body images.As a result many young girls also become mentally ill.They can often become anxious or depressed for no being able to obtain such an impossible image.Also many lose their own sense of identity trying to replicate the one of someone else.It can also make one lose creativity and the adverse to try something  new and original .

I understand that these new technological innovations at their start mean no harm but most result in such realities in the being.Get of your device take a walk outside and breathe,take a run,hike,go ride a bike.The only thing you're missing out is on your life. You have become self inclined to these idea that the online world has a better offering to your life than well your life.Do no more  self harm and get out.

This book is relevant to all readers.This is real life advice from columnist Cheryl Strayed, better know as Sugar.Sugar gives her most genuine ,heart felt, personal driven sought out advice.Her advice is probably better than you can get from all your friends combined.I myself have read more than half her book  and can say that it is the best advice column writing I have read.She gives advice to all,the economic troubled,perplexed sex oriented,the betrayed,confused,abused and more.I have to constantly stop and take notes because it is too good not to consider.A combination of revelations better than the Bible and Cosmo combined.

2)Bad Feminist by Roxane Gay
This best seller comes to age and projects the role of women and society.It analyzes our very customer driven society and the implication of women along the lines.She is the modern feminist who can come to terms and digest the idea that  women can still much be into fashion and be feminists.She takes down on popular culture and its beliefs about women and society such as The Hunger Games and The Help.A must read for all feminist of the modern era.

4)Out of the Vinyl Deeps:Erin Willis on Rock Music
What better take on feminism than a topic that has been dominated by the male voice.Erin Willis criticism of rock music ,was greatly in part of her time.The counter couture where everything that manifested was a contradiction of what was believed. She female pioneer of the art that was over shadowed by the work of such critics like Lester Bangs.Her work forgotten when she quit in the 80s' , because the music was no longer politically endeavoring.A pioneer of a field that is often seen as men's work here's the take on from a woman that did it even better!
