      <image:caption>We’ll all perpetually feel like that snail if we never take the time to pause and look back on how far we have come! In some regards, I’m still inching my way towards the finish line and it feels far off. In others, that race is far behind me and I’m on new terrain. How about you? Are you in the midst of a battle? Have you just made a long-awaited achievement? Although it may feel it at times, we’re never truly in neutral.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Because I’m human, I make mistakes and I’m not ashamed of that. I change my mind on words and cross them out. I scramble my sentences and rearrange them for better narrative flow. I also choke on water and manage to spit it all over everything… as you can see happened here. That would be the downside of water-based inks… but that doesn’t happen much. And while choking may be a downside of being human, I’m still glad to be human.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>My writing is typically a fusion of print and script—I tend to lean one way or the other depending on my mood or how rushed I feel. I’ve read somewhere that a combination of print and script is actually the fastest form of writing and that it is often seen used in academia. There’s no extracting the student from me. Ever.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I have all sorts of junk in my pain armamentarium. Notice how oral pain killers are not present, as they only mask problems as far as I am concerned. As always, discuss new remedies with a health care professional before you try something new, as the consequences could be disastrous. For example, I use magnesium oil, but an overdose of magnesium could be deadly—so don’t overdo it! I also had some weird experiences with the infrared light in the beginning (but it helps me now), which leads me to say: APPROACH ANY NEW THINGS WITH CAUTION.</image:caption>

I’ve barely used the gold refill at all, but I’ve used the red one regularly for extremely brief notes in my planner and one drawing, shown towards the end of this post. Using it to draw on a regular basis would suck it dry rather quickly.</image:caption>
