True but also I do this and I feel like when I tell people I’m doing stuff as I’m doing it it makes me feel like I’ve already done it and then I leave it alone and never finish it and it sucks but if i start doing things in silence then it will all be worth it when I tell people about it
between others. it’s something i’ve always been good at and take pride in doing in the everyday. i just want to make the proverbial “it“ mean something. whether that be small, like recommending a local shop to a friend looking for something. or “big“, like referring someone to a future partner or job. it can be done with or without words, whether through advice or a simple nudge. i like to bring people together, create communities, or provide jumping off points. without sounding grandiose, i feel like my life’s work is to inspire. i think eventually i’ll settle my jittery hands on a specific craft that acts as a visual language to accomplish this, as i've always been fond of art. but, i don’t think that’s all that’s in store for me, one big grand statement. i think my impact translates into everything i pursue.
I just like telling people about the things I like. I want to share what I'm excited about. I want to share the little moments I feel like people might also understand. Sometimes I don't have a specific friend I can share it with. Sometimes I just want to put it out there to have it out of my head. It's not cynical, it's just the need to tell people about things.
at some point i stopped fighting the fact that i'm a pencil guy. since then i've tried a few pricier ones, but this is my fave. really nice weight that feels expensive and serious without being stupid. cool twist action for bringing out more lead.
