Fountain Pens as my daily reset

[Ayeesha23]

I'm an ER nurse, so most of my day is a sprint, fast notes, constant motion, noise but when I get home, refill my pen, and take even five minutes to write, it's like flipping a switch for me, I love writing and I've been using my TWSBI 580 a lot lately, anyone else know it?, anyway I use it with diamine ink, it's become a little ritual that gives my day some kind of punctuation mark and you'll find that it doesn't even have to be a journal entry or anything deep, can just be a grocery list written slowly enough lol

Dont tell me I'm the only one here who feels this, I hope

Absolutely! The TWSBI 580 is such a gem, it glides smoothly across the paper, and that big ink reservoir is a lifesaver for both quick notes and leisurely journaling. Plus, have you seen Diamine inks? They're just delightful with all those vibrant shades! It's a wonderful way to unwind after a crazy day. By the way, how long have you been enjoying your pen?

The 580 is quite the popular one. and I totally get why! But i haven't tried the Diamine inks. where can I get these? just in time when I am trying out new stuff!

You're definitely not alone. That quiet moment with a good pen after a long day hits different. And hey, make sure you're not burnt out much as an ER nurse. It gets heavy.
