I have this old sketchbook that I’ve only drawn in about 7 times. I used to like to draw and with this book, I wanted the pictures in them to be as good as they could be. Drawing something in it that I wasn’t confident could be good risked marring my perfect book. Therefore, I only drew in it a few times.

Now, I’m thinking I should let that idea go. We think not only in words, but also pictures. Ideas and thoughts can be messy. I can also draw out any ideas. Why not let them be messy?

Original draft written in March 2017.
