Ode to the Notebook

What is it about a new notebook?

You open the cover to the first page, the white gleam marred only by faint blue lines to guide you across the page and a pale pink that leads you down. There's promise and hope in that blank virginity. Nowhere are the vague curls of past pressure. No reminders of previous events. Nothing to connect you to other projects.

All you can see is potential, the possibilities of a bright future.
