Dear cute girl in Wilko browsing the same pens as me,
I feel like after our brief chat we connected over our shared love for PaperMate FlexGrip pens – they really are the best for notebooks.
However, when we chose, you reached for the Blue Ink 1.0mm and me the Black 0.7. At that moment, we lost each other. I felt a disturbance between our spark. And that sucks. The gesture of buying yours for you may have seemed like a move toward strengthening our connection when in fact it was, in a way, a goodbye. I simply couldn’t and frankly shouldn’t be with someone who writes in blue ink.
Maybe over time, I could learn to see past this and maybe, just maybe, we could learn to write in whatever colour we goddamn choose, together.
But for now, it’s Au Revoir my little Paper-Mate.
All the best,
M
