Inpsirational People

Life has been difficult lately, but there have been a few people in the media who have brought me some light and hope, and inspiration. The three that I want to mention are.

1. Nick Carter. Nick is an inspiration for me because of how he has turned his life around in the last few years. He has battled addictions that I am sure are very hard to manage while being in his profession. I have noticed even from just videos (because sadly that is all I have to go from) that there is a light that has been relit in him. It is clear to see that a heavy burden has been lifted and that he has a lot of hope for his future. He has inspired me to also look forward with hope for my future. Doing this causes me to smile, which I believe is the most beautiful accessory that I can wear.

2. Jeremy Gillitzer. The story of this man's life is tragic, but a good example of what happens when an eating disorder takes over your life. I had a roommate die after a long struggle with anorexia, and Jeremy Gillitzer's story is not so different. Here is his blog that you can read. http://jeremygillitzer.blogspot.com/ This is also a good video. v=zIFAoRU1veo&feature=related://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIPVkS-ie2A He died at 66 pounds.

3. Whitney Thompson is also an inspiration for me. She is a voice in the modelling industry for normal sized women who are categorized as "plus". She won America's Top Model a few years ago. Here is a video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCFj01eFdd4
