In middle school, I noticed my friend Dana wrote her ‘a’ like it was being typed instead of the more typical lowercase a with one loop, so I copied her and never looked back 😎

when i‘m not writing slow and intentional (ie note-taking, journaling) i write as a mix of cursive and print. also when i write fast i do a lot of shortened versions of things - i.e. int’l, ex., +, and so on. also! i cannot write in a straight line on a blank surface + my handwriting is huge (this is not a college-ruled notebook lol) so i have a hard time filling out forms no matter what i try lol
for a while i tried making my letters and numbers fancy but i gave up lol. my capital Ms are nice though and i loooove a cursive capital J, Z, or L… those have got to be my favorite letters in cursive. lowercase f is also great
i can’t believe they aren’t teaching kids cursive anymore!!

but not having the wherewithal to do it correctly. also sometimes i get bored (distracted?) and hold my writing instrument in silly ways just to see how my writing turns out. anyways, handwriting is a lost art form and i find it to be very interesting and an intimate way to learn about someone

being sincere is in, thinking you’re always the most interesting person in the room is OUT.
take the opportunity to learn from this random human you have crossed paths with at the function. make a big impact with a little, casual convo. what are they into? how did they get into their line of work? what did they eat that day? what is their biggest fear? (lol) small talk is only shallow if you let it be.
tell someone working in a super busy place that they’re doing great and you hope they get a breather soon. compliment an outfit you like when you see it. tell someone when you notice their beautiful smile. quick interactions =/= insignificant

very satisfying to prolong the life of things in a world where not very many things are made to last. just applied renovating cream to my blundstones. cleaning my car, sewing up holes or tears in clothing, trimming the wicks of candles, and using slip-on covers for old books fall into this category too
