The Blank Paper

A blank paper. It is scary because of its enormous potential to sway on any side in any magnitude. It can take form of anything imaginable - a beautiful poem, a love letter or a death note. You can even crumple it and throw it in a dustbin, it won't say anything, but you will regret missing the experience of writing. You can write your story on it, or your ideas about future or the shortcomings or celebration of your past; it is your call and it has always been. But never copy paste from someone else's paper, your paper will lose its potential and shine. It is honest; like a mirror it is a true reflection of your thoughts. It has strength, you can even write hard on it; almost making a hole through; but it will resist the pen's strong impression even if it appears to tear apart any moment. You may even choose to write lightly, swaying in the breeze. Like I said it is your call, it has always been. No way of writing is wrong or right; it is just a way of writing, what is important is that you write. You may write in passionate red, or cool blue, or bright yellow, peaceful white, dusky grey or secretive black. What is important is that you write on it, experience how it feels to write. Remember that you are writing in pen, what you write cannot be erased, but the paper is infinitely long. But you may write as much as you wish, nobody will stop you from writing. It is your birth right. It is patient, it won't mind what you write on it, it won't complain if you write hard or write in a color it doesn't like, it will stay there silently, just watching you write. So keep writing, just write with all your passion and give it whatever form you want to give!
