is it inspiration if it doesn't move you?

There's a great pressure sitting on the top lefthand side of my brain. It is strong, but not sharp. It gnaws at the scalp, encouraging a daily acknowledgement that it's still there. Something in my stomach makes me aware of the fact that I could alleviate this force if I embraced it- allowed it to work on my soul. Instead, I only allow it to affect that topical spot it continuously pings at. What is that pressure? Could it be the impending big idea? The sense that creativity is just a sketchpad away? Is it that 'the answer' is behind a few more unopened doors? My daily brush off of these possibilities makes me wonder whether we can still call inspiration inspiration when it doesn't motivate you to do anything?

I'm feeling invigorated and inspired, but I can't possibly be, or I'd be willing to take the time to write down a complete thought. But I'm not willing.
