No Eraser, Many Mistakes

Author's Note: Even when you're drawing, the eraser doesn't erase all of the lines. Your life becomes a canvas in this piece. Where you don't have an eraser, only a pencil, but when the lead breaks, it's done for.

“Life is the art of drawing without an eraser.” –John Gardner

Everybody makes mistakes when drawing, so we always have an eraser to erase it. So it’s not there anymore, but what about in life? You can think of life as a drawing but we don’t have eraser to clear out the past. A sketch can have so many errors you can erase them, but in life you can’t. The past is the past and you can’t do anything about it. It’s done for, all we can do is forget about it and keep moving forward.

In the world we are in now, the smallest thing can make us upset. Why waste your time on that when you have so many other things to do. Drawing something might need an eraser, but life doesn’t. No eraser means an amazing life and you are just like the people around you. Everyone has their own creative personality in drawing. To one person the sketch could be horrible, but to another it could mean the world to them. So your final drawing, is you as a human being, it makes you, you!
