You are not alone! I also love pens.
It’s a passion that started fifteen years after I got a Montblanc as a gift for my graduation. When I received it, I didn’t understand the value of that object at all. An object that today is all the more dear to me because it was given to me by a person who passed away and has been a foundation of my life.
The emotion of writing with a luxury instrument was silently born in me over those fifteen years. It’s true that when I write with that pen, I feel responsible for the words I print on the paper.
I daily use that Montblanc, a Pelikan, a Lamy Safari, and an old Papermate. All fountain pens.
You see, you are not alone!
