Sharpie Pens

For some reason, Sharpie pens make more sense.

How much more intelligent do you feel when writing with a smooth pen that makes great lines than with an average pen? Thought so. I guess it's not the consistency so much, but then again it is. The easier that words are to write, physically, the easier they flow with eloquence. But also, feeling fancy while writing contributes to a large part of this ease.

I guess Sharpie pens are a metaphor for a lot of things. For example, the term "dress to impress." Who are you impressing? Others? Or are you trying to build up your confidence by dressing to impress? It's very psychological. That's also why women spend thousands of dollars on clothing every year- they want to feel confident about themselves and they do so by buying clothes that make them feel confident.

Also, it could be that I'm just picky about the types of pens that I use. Last year, whenever I had to write down anything that I needed to remember, I would do it in blue pen. It's no surprise that when I wrote something down at random in a pen that was blue, I remembered it better. I associate blue with the need to remember.

Maybe I associate fancy pens with length of the writing. Or with detail. Whatever it is, Sharpie pens let me write in a way that makes sense to me.
