How have Within Temptation inspired you?

So yes how have Within Temptation inspired you?

I've been thinking about it but I'm sure they have inspired me more than I think. So heres a few of mine

-To write more and better lyrics and poems.
-To believe more in myself when I sing and Sharon gives me a standard to try and reach
-To believe more in myself however hard it is and never listen to anyones negative comments who tell you things arent possible.
-To have confidence in who I am and what I do. Be it clothing, speaking, socialising or just general confidence.
-To stop being lazy and actually bother doing work and make something of myself.
-To realise that no matter how alone I feel WT are always there
-To take a creative writing course next year.
-To be more interested in my photography and media.
-To have more courage in myself and 'Stand My Ground' Dont think that was necessary.
-To make myself a better person and consider how my actions can effect people.
-To be a more genuine and friendly person.
-To be more social and talk to people like in the queue for WT and at Download
-Inspired me to go to Holland and want to live there

Most importantly
-Find and join this forum and find all the lovely people here who keep me going just like WT.

I know I probably have alot more.

I've been waiting until I had enough time to properly reply to adress this...

First and foremost there really are not words to describe how WT has helped me. It's a force that lies tightly in my heart and swims around me everywhere I go. It brings me comfort and cheer when all else is upseting. (How cheesey am I...)

WT -Helped me understand crap in my life
-Gave words to what I feel
-Inspired me to set myself free
-Gave me hope
-Fueled my passion
-Helped me learn about emotions
-Inspired stories and poems

^ Poor portral of how it inspired me...but there really aren't any words

the best comment ever,Kellie!I agree more than 100% with you!!!!

I agree with all those!

Their lyrics have inspired me to open my mind a little more and to try writting outside the "norm"

And they're inspired me to be more passionate in my writting and what i do, and to live life for every moment and aprreciate the time i have and who i have.

Kellie, you've pretty much summed it up, there.
They've just inspired me so much!
<3

Yes WT,are my biggest source of inspiration

They inspire to go headlong into my goals. I know what I what to do with myself, and I'm going to do it. They helped me to get that attitude, of course they weren't the only ones but they were a huge part.

They've also caused me to meet some of my greatest friends here.

WT inspired me a lot in my poetry,my every day life,and help find a good part in me.I was actally a big pessimist but after i found WT i`m optimistic

I really can't say more than Kellie did. That says it all for me . The lyrics are lovely and have helped people in many different ways

WT has helped me to see the good things in life, like Sharon And they have helped me to Overcome, Stand My Ground, remember that 'it's so easy to destroy and condemn'! Cheesy, yes, but true They have helped me through so much. I love them forever and ever <3 <3

WT is a constant inspiration! WT and Sharon often just keep me going day to day, making me happy in small ways that make the other crap more tolerable. Think of Sharon and instantly the world seems like a better place.

Of course, some songs in particular are really inspirational for me as well. A while ago I was fighting with my school administration over LGBT issues and Stand My Ground really gave me the courage to keep fighting rather than give up and back down. (In the end, it was only a partial victory, but it was better than nothing.) The lines from Deceiver of Fools, "Remember who you are, what you stand for; there will always be a way" also inspire me on a daily basis. I'd like to get that tattoo someday.

WT themselves are inspiring me to continue school and pursue a degree, but also to take a risk with my art.

Creatively, Hand of Sorrow and What Have You Done inspired some writing of mine. Most of the ballads and even some of the heavy songs inspire my choreography. And Sharon figures in a lot of my drawing.

WT is just everywhere in my life, and I love it!

Couldn't agree more!
WT have enriched my life in so many different ways! I don't know what I would have done and would do without them!
They're really helping me through life.
