Empty Paper and The Pen

The writer, the empty paper and the pen..

Room is the best place to be alone, the place you can express your sadness, loneliness, happiness and the bursting feeling inside the heart can let go.

The room was filled with all silence in the world, she took a deep breath, picked up the pen and began to write. "That's how she discovered love". She wasn't satisfied with what she wrote, so she decided to change. She crashed out the word one by one until there was nothing left. "That's how she experienced love".

She crumpled the paper, take out a new sheet and thought for a bit what to write. But that ' a bit ' turned into minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, 1 year and years more. "That's how she lost to love ", and so she left. She left the paper and the pen on the table and decided to go out and explore the world.

Quite some time have passed when she decided to go home. Upon entering her room, She saw the pen and the empty paper lying on the same spot in the table. Just the way she left it, it was untouched and unwritten.

She sat and stared at the paper.Unlike before, she felt something now. Something within her that was pushing her to pick up the pen and the paper, and so she did. She let the feeling take over her as she wrote about the memories inside her mind. 

The memories she safeguarded in her heart. She wrote about the things that happen when she went away, the new people she met, the new adventure she took, the experienced she had, and the lesson she learned.

She kept writing until there was no space left, until she had to get another sheet of paper to fill. "That's how she understood love".She then realized that love begins with a decision to start. It begins with the decision to try something, just like picking up the pen and beginning to write.

It comes with the event of diverting the attention to other things, just like leaving the empty paper up to go and discover the world.
