I am going to write in pencil more often.
Flow.
Flexibility.
The more I go with the flow and the more flexible I am through the twists and turns of a day, the calmer, more centered I feel.
The less rigid I am the happier I am.
Pencils make me feel like if I have to make a change, I don’t have to scribble out the change or cross it out with a big sloppy “X.”
Pencils make me feel like if I have a cancellation, it’s okay, because I can just erase it. No white out, no more ink. Just flip over, erase, invite the next moment.
Pencils make me feel like my words flow better on a page.
Pencils sound calming when I write with them.
Pencils make me feel like, “oops, I fucked up, that’s cool, lemme fix that, or start fresh…
Pencils remind me that I don’t have to do it perfectly the first time.
Pencils remind me that I can keep working at it.
Pencils remind me that there will be times that I will be on point.
Pencils remind me that there will be times that I am dull…
but then,
sharp again.
Pencils are kinda like a metaphor for life
Pencils fukn rule.
I am going to start collecting pencils.
