Big rec from me… my college boyfriend wouldn’t stop reading my journals so I invented a new alphabet to journal in (not the correct solution I know but whatever). that problem no longer applies to me obviously, and I don’t consider it to be as dire, but I still like using the alphabet - when I want to journal on the train and feel self conscious about it, or just for fun. It is also a neat excuse to think about language, and it’s pretty :—3 if you have done anything similar ever please drop an image I want to see what yours looks like !

insane that your college boyfriend was so bizarrely insistent on invading your space that you had to do this, but also insanely impressive that you were able to do this in response. i flirted with this idea as a child but my patience for the normal alphabet was already so low i never had the confidence to try

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!!

Gazpacho only in the late summer, persimmons only in the winter, etc. just because we can import anything from anywhere anytime doesn’t mean we should. Nothing is special if you can have it whenever you want it.
