Today was an odd day. The day started rather gloomy. The clouds are in and out throughout the day. There was a little bit of rain from time to time. It must be because it is September already. You can finally feel that Summer is over, and Fall has begun.
\nThe good thing is that the rain stopped after I finished work. I’m glad that it is mildly sunny again. Right in time when I was leaving work. It’s wonderful to step outside and seeing the sun was out and the weather is nice.
\nToday I feel like treating myself and checkout the neighbouring nearby stores. There are many retail stores near to my workplace. Just across the street from where I work there is the store called “Winners”. This store in known is selling branded items on much cheaper price. Me and my friends from work often visit this store to see what items they are selling. Sometimes we end up buying stuff just because they are cheap. Today is no different, I went there to check out what to see what they are selling.
\nComing in the store I was interested in finding what kind of school supplies they have. Specifically, products or instruments used for writing. I wanted to find something to inspire myself to write more. Whether it could be a new book, notebook, pencils, or pens. I need something to help me practice writing more and get better at it. I am looking for that secret instrument that will help me with my writing.
\nThey have a tiny section for pens. The store is selling a decent number of pens. it got me thinking that maybe getting a new pen will help me get better with my writing. I am hoping to find the “One”. The one pen that will help me with my journey in writing.
\nOne by one, I checked every available pen they have. Some of the pens are very nice-looking. There were gold and silver coated pens. Even found some pens with fluffy balls of fur on top. There is one with a huge diamond at the tip. But none of them sparked my interest.
\nIt’s sad that I didn’t like any of them. I couldn’t pick from any of the pens available. I was about to give up thinking none of these pens were meant for me. I was about to lose hope in finding the one true pen for me.
\nI was about to lose hope, but I said to myself that I should check again. I feel like there is still a chance on finding the one. So, I searched once more. This time around I hope that I can find the pen for me.
\nThe search has begun and now I am doing a thorough search. I dug to every corner on the shelf. As I was searching, I noticed there was something that resembles a pen was peeking out behind some notepads. I need to know what it is.
\nI picked it up and my first thought was it this is a marker. This thing has a square shaped body. It was wider than a pen. This thing has a flat body. I thought for sure that this must be a marker. I held up this instrument and opened the cap. There I saw that the tip was ball point. This must be a pen.
\nI held it in my hand and placed it between my fingers like a pen. This thing, this pen, this actually feels very comfortable. The pen is wide yet it’s flat, that is why it sits very comfortably in my hand. This pen, it feels so right. Could this be? Did I find the one?
