INK DROP – imperfect
ink stains get things dirty
they leave a stain on that idea of perfection that we long for so much
they leave a stain on our imperfect life, to remind us that we’re human
that we are not perfect
that we make mistakes
yes, we do make mistakes…
sometimes it’s us, sometimes it’s them, sometimes it’s other people’s fault if we make mistakes, sometimes it’s our fault if others make mistakes
what doesn’t change is our need to take a blank page and start all over again
when we made a mistake, it was because we were too focused on one thing and we left all the rest aside
we took a blank page
we took a pencil and we drew the skeleton of our project with some light lines
then, we took the nib and the ink and —with care and premeditation— we slowly started to write our own dream down
this normally happens with the last words
it happens when we are too focused
and with a quick movement, we let a drop fall on the sheet
or it happens when we’re writing the last word and we’re feeling so happy, but then we hold the nib on the last letter and the ink splashes everywhere
it happens
because we forgot about everything surrounding us
because we were too focused on a stupid blank page
and we are not laser printers
we’re human
that’s why we make mistakes
that’s why we’re not perfect
that’s why nothing will ever be perfect
(perhaps it’s time to deal with it)
with love, but always irriverent
