Keep the dying art of fabulously illegible loopy lettering alive! Your (inevitably iPad wielding) children will never know the fun of fancy scribbling their ABCs if you don’t show them how! A handwritten letter in beautiful cursive is just so timeless and classy… use a fancy pen too just for fun 🥰 Your grandma would be so proud!!

Physical letters aren't just for corny love notes and eviction notices! They can be a really good way of communicating things that are too long for texting but too personal to say aloud. I feel like the convenience of texting can be deceptively dishonest, it’s often more genuine to let something bleed out on a page. It also just feels cool as fuck to write one, I like to imagine I’m some aristocrat main character in a period piece. Maybe light a candle if you want to be extra pretentious.

In a digital world it has become a rare treat to see your own handwriting, not to mention the handwriting of your friends and family. Maybe it’s been a while since you’ve seen it, maybe not. Think about new friends you’ve made and whether or not you know that about them- what their handwriting looks like.
I feel like anxiety might be on the rise because so many people are in their heads while they’re on their phones. Handwriting (also journaling by hand) helps you slow down and get back into your body and in touch with the tactile tangible world around us.
If you don’t particularly enjoy your handwriting, you could try to take it slow and practice. “Progress, not perfection“. You could get some sweet stationery and write a cute little note to yourself or someone else.
If you love to text and want to get the point across immediately- I recommend writing a little note, taking a photo of it, and then texting it to someone. You could ask them if they want to send a note back to you in their handwriting, and then instead of bubbles with the same fonts you’re sending each other photos of instant unique handwritten notes.

Having freshly baked cookies on hand can get one out of a lot of tight spots in a pinch, even if it’s just to soak up the alcohol in your stomach when you’re riding the subway home at 3 A.M ❤️ It’s fun to give them out to the people you meet during the course of the night, and lets potential suitors know that you’re Domestically Gifted ™️, Extremely Nice ™️, and Supremely Fuckable ™️. I did this two nights ago and it felt much less scary meeting new people when I had cookies to offer them.

This nice Argentinian lady on my plane took this picture for me on my phone of this beautiful mountain range in Chile we were flying over and I haven’t gotten them out of my head since. I really really need to visit before I die !! 🫶

Idk I don’t have a water bill and maybe it is not good for my skin but god it feels so wonderful and indulgent and bougie ! I sit in here for hours listening to silly podcasts and not staring at my phone.
