You know how some people have a lucky hat, or a favorite mug that makes their morning coffee just a bit better? For me, it’s my blue pen. Not just pen—the pen. Smooth, just the right weight, no smudging, and a perfect ink that makes even my grocery list look important.
I don’t know when I first picked it up, but since then, it’s been my go-to for everything. To-do lists? Blue pen. Doodling during long calls? Blue pen. Signing something official like a birthday card or a Post-it note reminding myself to water the plants? You guessed it—blue pen.
There’s something about the ritual of uncapping it, the glide across paper, the satisfying loop of an “L” or the flourish of a signature. It’s not about the pen, really. It’s the small joy it brings. The way it makes ordinary things feel a little more special.
Maybe it’s silly to love a pen this much. But life’s made of small moments, and if a $2 writing utensil can make my day 5% better, I’ll call that a win.
Now if only I could stop losing it under stacks of paper…
This is my favorite pen!
