so this is going to sound kinda weird. but last year when I was in the psych ward 4 consecutive times march through may, i started the hobby of drawing pretty looking words and swirls and decorations around them. words like "hope" and "believe", and gave them to other patients at the psych ward, and they loved them and said i am a great artist. i used a certain pen to make these word drawings, a precise V5 black pen by pilot, that i had bought at the college book store that year. i had 2 pens that i brought with me to the psych ward and carried them around everywhere with me. one time, when i told a nurse I was not feeling safe, like I wanted to SI, she took my pens away from me! I cried and cried cause i did not have my pens with me... but she said if i chose to go to bed and be good, and not SI, that in the morning she would give me my pens back. (i guess she thought i could somehow injure myself with them???) So the next morning i got them back and was soooo happy and relieved. Anyway, ever since then and moving to kansas this year, i had not been able to find these pens in the stores. Then today i found them at walmart and i am so happy! they are like security and happiness to me. I bought 4 of them. I am so happy i have these pens, they are my favorite. does anyone else have an object like that? even if its not the same exact pens i had at the psych ward, i am just so happy i have the same kind now.

That's great krisakira, that you were able to find them! I have special pens too and buy them by the dozen when I see them

I am glad you found the pens, krisakira.

There is a thread around here somewhere about products that were discontinued that we miss.
I attach strongly to specific things too. There is only one kind of pen I will draw with and I always have to have one just in case I want to draw something.
I am glad you found more of yours!
