frixion pens are a lifesaver!! my ocd is sometimes easy to mistake for being a perfectionist, but in most ways i’m really not a perfectionist. i’m a student which means lots of notes, plus planners etc, and i try to be minimal with it but one issue i’ve had in the past is making a mistake in my notes or planner page. my ocd comes out strongly when it comes to visuals, not in a symmetry or perfect way, but in the way that if something doesn’t look right to me i will avoid it at all costs. when i was younger i never went in my room except to sleep because the wall color made me so uncomfortable it was unbearable, and now it’s similar if i mess up in my notes i just won’t use the page. so frixion pens have saved me a lot of paper lol

That's cool. But also as someone who has had OCD (and perfectionism) for a long time, let me tell you, learning to accept imperfection is also helpful. Maybe you're not ready yet, maybe someday you might want to look into it. It's a battle i fight and am better some days than others. But my god the PEACE you can feel walking away from a page that you did the M wrong or one sentence looks terrible, bliss. Look up an art movement known as Wabi-Sabi. I know I sound like some hippie, yoga, relaxation nut, but trust me. Nothing in life is perfect.
