In the dance of life, a pencil stands as a humble guide. It begins sharp, like our youthful ambitions, ready to leave its mark on the world. As it writes, it dulls, a testament to the experiences that shape us, carving stories with each line drawn. Mistakes are inevitable, yet the eraser at its end reminds us of the power of forgiveness and the chance to rewrite our paths. No matter how short it becomes, its essence remains — a tiny reminder that life is about the journey, the stories we craft, and the marks we leave behind, however faint or bold.
