Empty pages have always felt like an opportunity to grow.
Paper and pens have always felt like life's playground to me. When I watch sports, the joy the players appear to feel when they win - I feel that when I write.
Even if I have nothing to say, I always feel the need to write just that.
The pen is my instrument, and the empty pages are the audience. Like good music, you hope someone hears it. You hope someone appreciates the good music that has been created, but if they don't, the musician still has to create it.
To die without expressing my thoughts, even to myself, would be the longest departure filled with thoughts that only longed to be words written down somewhere. To write anywhere is freedom personified. That's how I feel about my life.
Nothing to it but to do it. What is "it"? For me, writing is it. It's all I've ever done to navigate through life. Empty pages are where I come to find myself, to hear, to listen, to be guided.
Where am I going? Only the time and the pages will tell. Until then, I aim to leave no empty pages.
