When my father died, I found a stack of unopened notebooks in his office. All the words he left unwritten, I thought. That’s when I started using all the pencils I’d collected from my trips to museums.
Exactly! I don't want to come to the end of my life and think that I've got all these lovely items that I've collected across my life and I never allowed myself the pleasure of using them.
I can relate to this in such a big way, Natalie - I have many unused notebooks. I'm the same with sketchbooks, too, but am really pushing myself to just 'play' in my latest one and not feel the pressure from it. So far, so fun!
Awesome. I love this. You just got me motivated to start using my gifts and talents not storing and hiding them. I should deploy them to benefit my world.
Love this. It reminds me of a quote I once heard about burning the expensive candles and drinking the good wine rather than saving it for some "perfect" occasion.
