Eli ★★★★★

The olive barrel color is unique and the 0.5mm fine point writes smoothly without skipping. The black gel ink dries fast enough for left-handed use.

Kevin K. ★★★★★

The embossed "This Is Me Trying" text feels almost like a quiet pep talk every time I uncap it, and that 0.5mm tip glides smoothly enough that I keep finding excuses to write lists. Just wish the olive shade were a touch darker, but honestly, it's become my go-to pen for journaling.

Joshua ★★★★★

The olive barrel has a nice weight to it, and the gel ink flows smoothly without smudging my notes. The embossed "This is Me Trying" gives it a personal touch that makes me smile every time I pick it up.
