'If it is broke try and fix it', Pen and Watercolour on Paper

I have to admit I get a bit of a kick out of attempting to put things back together again, as unremarkable or tedious as that may seem there is just something that is ultimately satisfying about breathing new life into something that had just about admitted defeat. For the most part we do this out of necessity as maybe there is no other alternative at the time, however sometimes it is because a part of us doesn't want to let go. The reason being that up to this point this thing has served it's purpose well, been dependable and we have formed some sort of strange bond with it. Discarding it then as if it was yesterdays newspaper doesn't seem like the right thing to do as it has become too familiar, too loved and too essential. People often say of things that are working just fine that if it, 'ain't broke don't fix it'... well if that's the case then if it is broke maybe we should try and fix it.
