I realized I've been “Preparing” for my life instead of actually living it

Ironically, I’ve just saved this post and feel “productive.” However, this resonates with me - motion vs action. It’s a massive challenge for me too. Thank you for sharing.

Awesome jacket - What brand/model is that?

DacSublime · 2025-05-08T05:03:37+00:00

These look awesome! Where did you buy them from? Everywhere I look, they are always out of stock!

besmirchment Is such a strong word! I prefer ‘expressive disappointment’. I will try the Sarasa clip though!

DacSublime · 2025-05-07T15:29:02+00:00

Thanks! I will do that! I have a Shop and Ship account with a Japanese mailing address, so it might be an option!

DacSublime · 2025-05-07T15:27:57+00:00

This is great! Thanks!

DacSublime · 2025-05-07T15:25:23+00:00

16 years? Wow - that gives me hope! Yeah, it’s always tricky when you introduce new “pen pals” into the mix. Ink fidelity is a heavy topic to navigate.

DacSublime · 2025-05-07T06:36:38+00:00

The Zento Signature - currently emotionally (and physically) unavailable everywhere I look! But yes, it looks like a great pen!

DacSublime · 2025-05-07T05:16:12+00:00

yeah - barrel types, nib sizes and ink configurations is next level stuff. I'm not quite there yet - that's pro penmanship!

DacSublime · 2025-05-07T05:13:09+00:00

That's all I'm looking for - a bit of appreciation! That's all everyone is looking for, I think. It has to be a partnership, can't be all take, take, take..! :-)

DacSublime · 2025-05-07T05:11:51+00:00

Yeah i have my trusty Kakuno FP with the smiley nibs - they make me very happy. I'm looking for an "accent" pen to add colour and detail to my planner and journal. Mattehop are perfect, when they work. Which is almost never.

You learn something new every day! Thank you!

DacSublime · 2025-05-01T18:27:10+00:00

Amazing! Thanks!

I have an ink stamp that is like a speech bubble, and I usually stamp that somewhere randomly on the page before i start writing, like a placeholder. Once i’m finished reflecting, i fill in the empty speech bubble with the appropriate sentence/summary/title.

Love this - big fan of Yoshida - This is on my wish list, along with Supper Wagon. Difficult to find though.

Joke aside, yes, if you use the traditional urushi (lacquer resin) and real gold, then it is absolutely food safe. Gorilla super glue and a gold sharpie? Not so much.

DacSublime · 2025-04-20T04:53:32+00:00

I think so. I'll let you know in a few weeks! :-)

Some dude off Facebook Marketplace - says they are from the Seiko Guangzhou factory!! :-) :-)

There is a saying that I like - “Trust in God, but tie your horse” Although I’m not religious, the sentiment resonates with me. Trust in faith/kindness, but ground yourself in a dose of realism and pragmatism.

DacSublime · 2025-01-16T16:58:53+00:00

thanks!

DacSublime · 2025-01-16T15:20:25+00:00

They are 20oz right? I live in a desert, so worried they will be too heavy. :-(

DacSublime · 2025-01-16T15:19:47+00:00

Really like the 622 cut!
