My everyday object is a pen, as well. I believe this simple tool provides more than just a mark on an object but the uniqueness of the person using it. Its functions are vast in that ones imagination determines its usefulness. Whether it is conveying a message on a piece of paper (story, notes, etc.), used as a pointer for an educator, or a chewing tool to help quit the habit of smoking, a pen can provide both comfort and functionality to someone. A pen comes in multiple styles, which can associate with an individuals personality. Although, unlike the saying “it only matters what’s on the inside” I believe that the outside of a pen tells a great story. Pens come in different shapes, sizes and colors. They have different bite marks, broken pieces, all of which make up your lucky/favorite ones from your not so favorite ones. Unless that pen is actually shown to you, one cannot describe what it looks like by just the ink that comes out of it. I believe that a pen is something that has evolved to an instrument that everyone can use due to accessibility and commonality and it is one of the smaller things in life that can bring people together.
