write in cursive, never lift the pen from the paper, and let your thoughts flow freely from your hand. You might not be able to read it all back, but you’ll be able to gain a general idea. Plus all the greats did it. It’ll also give your family and friends some interesting stuff to sift through when you croak. 💀
Fun fact: Leonardo Da Vinci wrote in a mirrored cursive style, and from the right to left, so that only he could decipher what it said when needed.

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

I love writing in cursive so much. I love seeing other people’s cursive handwriting. I think I learn a lot about a person from their handwriting, no judgment, and doesn’t matter if it’s sloppy or whatever…. Cursive feels like art. It’s emotional. It’s underrated. I want to see more people writing in cursive.

Been off this app lately cuz ive been busy opening an art gallery in my hometown (San Diego) called Deixis Gallery! Been such a wonderful experience so far. It’s so beautiful to see how community comes together to help with every step along the way. Friends came by and helped paint, do construction, a friend of mine built us some benches from scratch, and a bunch of amazing artists participated in the inaugural exhibition. So hyped, truly recommend. And shout out to allstnyc for the encouragement back when I first posted an ask about opening a gallery! 🤞🏿🤞🏿🤞🏿also if you find yourself in San Diego, make sure to stop by! @deixisgallery

I got an IG follow and message last night from a girl I knew in MIDDLE school (12+ yrs ago).
I haven’t talked to or seen her since then, but she’d often pop up in my mind, the last time being just a few days ago. All I remember is that I used to enjoy talking to her.
the first thing she said in her message was that for some reason, she’d think about me often, and also, for no particular reason… we barely knew each other back then
So, we decided we’re gonna hang out soon - don’t know why, but it just feels right. 🔮
