Life is a very sudden experience.
You are born
And you die shortly after

The average life expectancy is seventy-eight years.
The world has been alive for billions of years.
You could have over 51 million lifetimes in that time.

Sometimes we forget how short our lives are.
One moment we are playing in a sand box,
And then suddenly we have a cap and gown on.

We hear it all the time,
"You only live once!"
"Make the best out of the life you get!"

But most of us don't grasp the concept of these little quotes.
They go in one ear and out the other.
So I will say it again.

Life is a very sudden experience.
You are born
And you die shortly after.

a pencil is a magic wand
it writes down whatever gets jumbled in your mind
it helps other people understand what you are feeling,
what you are going through.
a pencil can draw a picture that needs no words
a picture that everyone will remember
it puts your ideas out there for others to see
pencils let you hold the whole world by your fingertips
you just have to let your imagination do what it wants
especially when you have a magic wand in your hands.
