on a supposed to be busy monday, i saw myself just staring blankly at my desk. i hear my phone endlessly ringing, people chattering, and my email profusely alarming.
its a bit odd for someone as visual as me to actually notice these. so i tried plunging on the difference. i put my headset and played a cynthia alexander album on.
comfort in your strangeness. perfect!

i randomly reached a pen and started scribbling. funny how the lines and strokes fell on their places. how it decides its own length, how it figure out where to curve and how it weaved itself with the rest of the other lines.
eventually, the randomness turned its back from absence.

who can tell if they were really supposed to be there? who can say if they should be thin or thick? black or of a different color? or if its good or bad.
"why don't you use a pencil?" a friend wondered while he was staring at how i drew one boring afternoon.
"i guess, i am just more comfortable using pens," i answered.
"e, what if you made a mistake?"
"then i own it."
he startled.
"you take the mistake and make something out of it, that is the beauty of being imperfect. you just have to be brave enough not to hesitate because the moment you do, you will never know what is up ahead. and i guess, in this life, regret is the only thing worst than being selfish."

and for that, thank you for making me draw again.

fav song ko ung comfort in your strangeness, sa insomnia na album.. namiss ko si aling cynthia..hehe nice one..
What a nice surprise, ewik.
And the art's not bad. Not bad at all.
i didn't know you could draw. I liked using pens, too, back when drawing was my prized talent; a pleasurable experience which has now sadly turned into a chore.
I like what you wrote about owning our mistakes, and doing something beautiful with them. In art, as in life indeed.

Drawing with a pen says a lot about you. It says that you are a person who gives to a cause fully, without reservation and without disclaimers. It's an honorable trait, my dear Erik.
Dabo: Hahaha. Centerpiece/focal point ba yung binigay ko? Wahahaha
