In a world of content generated by AI, the pen pen becomes a symbol of sincerity, even intellectual resistance. What if writing by hand became a differentiating act again?
Too much content, kill the content?
At the moment, it only takes 10 seconds to generate a LinkedIn post, a thank you email, a column like this (without laughing). But you noticed it, right? The more content there is, the more we get tired.
- Smooth words.
- Flavorless turns.
- Messages… forgotten as quickly as they are read.
AI writes well. Sometimes too good. So much so that we wonder if someone is still behind the screen.
Handwritten writing: a gesture that hits the bull’s eye
What if, faced with this digital overdose, we came back to something more … human? I’m talking about something we almost forgot: writing. By hand. With a pen. Okay, not just any. A pen pen. Because a bic is practical. But a pen is something else.
Writing by hand is:
- To slow down. (And it feels good.)
- Think differently. (The brain works differently.)
- Leave a unique trace. (Your writing is your imprint.)
Why the pen pen, and not another?
Frankly ? For fun. But also for what he says about you.
A pen pen is what you do & what you say about you:
- You take the time
- You respect the reader
- You write by hand
- You get involved
- You use a beautiful object
- You treat the bottom and form
- You sign with pen
- You mark the spirits
And then … let’s be honest:
Receiving a handwritten letter today is like receiving a gift.
It changes “Hello, I hope you are well …” generated in the channel.
They (re) put it. Why not?
There is a discreet return, but very real.
In companies
Some leaders no longer send emails to congratulate an employee. They send a card. Written by hand. To the pen. (And that makes all the difference.)
In schools
Professors put handwriting up to date. Because it helps students keep better. To think better.
In creatives
Writers, designers, coaches: the notebook and the feather come back in force. For what ? Because ideas come better far from screens.
What about all of this?
I am not anti-tech (otherwise, I would not be here). But I think we can marry both.
AI to find ideas, structure, go faster.
✍️ The pen to slow down, clarify, pass an emotion.
It is not one or the other. It is with each other. (And frankly, an AI that writes to the pen, we have not yet seen that.)
In summary? The pen pen is …
- A simple, but strong gesture.
- A way to reconnect to yourself … and others.
- A small act of gentle resistance, in a pressed world.
So, the next time you want to score, get out of the set, or just write something that counts … Take a pen pen. And let your hand speak.
Isn’t life beautiful?
