No, I am no artiste.
I cannot sketch great works of art worthy of being hung in a gallery.
But arts and crafts are something I have always been willing to spend time on.
If you left gift giving up to me, you'd end up with a handmade-something which I laboriously hunched over for hours and hours. Sometimes it'd be nice, sometimes it'll look like a three-year-old plowed through it.
Why do I still do it, then?
Well, you might be lucky enough to have people in your life willing to spend money on you.
I will be the one willing to spend my time, my thoughts, and try to show you how I think of you.
Each gift, was carefully thought of. As I crafted it, I had you in mind.
Whether it is a hand-written note
Or a hand-made bookmark
Or a birthday sash
Or a doodle
For those moments I spent labouring over them, I had you in mind.
Money I can earn, I can replace
But the time I spent crafting away my pieces of memories; those are forever spent to your name.
And I regret none of it.
