may seem trivial, but this helps me feel more confident in the things I write down and encourages a more positive self-image of my brain.
also, it’s not that hard. you basically just need to slow down.

Slows you down to think about what you're communicating. Improves hand strength. Is quite romantic imo. Keeps alive a slowly fading art form. I keep a notebook that only gets cursive text, and I use cursive to write all my notes to friends and lovers. Imbues words with a kind of magical human intention that I definitely feel. As per my example, even cool if you do it messy.

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

if i'm not on a time crunch, i will always try to hand write the first draft of all my creative writing projects. this makes me take it slower, think more about the words i'm putting down. it also acts as the first round of editing whenever i type it into my computer so i'm one step closer to a finished project. there's some so much more satisfying about being able to look at the progress made on a story that is hand written rather than typed in a computer.

Way harder than I thought it’d be but not bad for my first try. My lack of skill somehow gives it extra charm instead of looking like shit. Turns out embroidery is a forgiving medium.

a good lesson in patience and being ok looking like shit on purpose for a while. also fun to tend to it like a little garden on your face.

A low-risk way to try random stuff like St. Andre Triple Cream and 18-month aged Gouda. Usually the blocks are less than three bucks and it’s fun to dabble!
