I would say that this is a bold statement if I was talking about everything. I am not. I am talking about random things. A new journal is stupid. Same with a sketch book, and a box of crayons.
New things only have the potential to look like they were used well. I used to think that the newer the better but I know that I was wrong. I save things. The best origami paper that was foiled and was shiny. I wouldn't use them until I was great at folding. I still haven't used them. Crayons that are new are something different now with my new out look. I want them to make something good I want them to earn a story with me. I want my crayons to have the colors of others crayons on them. I want them to be in a bag to rub off on each other.
Old things are cool. They have stories hidden in their flaws. I want my journal to have many flaws. I want to have it with me everywhere so it will get the scent of all the places I will go. I want it to get water damage from the moister in the air at Niagara Falls and to have sand in it from the beaches of California.
"I want it to get water damage from the moister in the air at Niagara Falls and to have sand in it from the beaches of California". I seriously loved this.
ReplyDelete"old things are cool. They have stories hidden in their flaws" OMG so amazing I love this line.. well two lines, they are so well written. nothing in the world can't have flaws. Everything has some flaw, for example. earths flaw is humans.
