Every Day I Sit With My Pen.
<p>Every day I sit with my pen.</p><p><br/></p><p>Because no one else has stayed with me the way it has. Quiet, slim, unassuming—always there, always ready. It has never left my side, whether in my pocket, on my desk, or clutched tightly in restless hands.</p><p><br/></p><p>My pen has written the many stories of my life. Stories I could not tell with my own mouth. Stories that clawed their way from deep places I had buried. It has bled ink like blood, carrying the weight of wounds and whispers too heavy for my chest alone.</p><p><br/></p><p>When I wanted to shout but couldn’t, my pen shouted for me. When I wanted to break but couldn’t, my pen cracked open the silence. Each line, each stroke, became the echo of emotions I dared not speak out loud.</p><p><br/></p><p>It has seen me raw, trembling, shaking with words I could not arrange. It has carried the laughter I was too shy to share. It has recorded the tears I wiped away before anyone noticed. My pen knows my truths in ways no friend, no brother, no stranger ever could.</p><p><br/></p><p>People come and go, seasons shift and fade, but my pen remains. Steadfast. Patient. Unjudging. It remembers all the nights I couldn’t sleep, all the mornings I rose too tired, all the thoughts I folded away from the world.</p><p><br/></p><p>And so I keep it close. Not because it is perfect—it smudges, it leaks, sometimes it runs out of ink—but because it stays. Because it listens. Because in its silence, I always find my voice.</p><p><br/></p><p>Every day I sit with my pen.</p><p>Because, in truth, it has always been my best friend.</p><p><br/></p><blockquote><em>Shout-out to the brilliant author of the original piece, “One day I’d marry my notepad.” - <strong>Ema's Seal<br/></strong></em><em>Your insight inspired me to write this as a part two—a follow-up from my own angle.
