I used to tenaciously cling to my reliable pen and notebook as if they were my lifelines.

I cherished the sensation of writing on paper, the click of my pen, and the feeling of writing things down.

It had a genuine feel. You know, vintage excellent.

To be honest though, I eventually realized that I was carrying about stacks of paper like a hoarder who was about to lose it.

Despite having lists for everything and sticky notes everywhere, I continued to miss deadlines.

Bring up the f*cking irony.

If your desk is a landfill, what good is all this so-called “organization”?

Consequently, I said you screw it after wasting yet another afternoon searching through my desk for that one “important” paper I vowed I had stored away.

I’m dead to you, pen and paper.
