Yeah, I just like to sketch every letter... it's totally on purpose.

Fun fact: these pens don't actually erase, they just use heat to become invisible

They are so freaking good. I can't just write the letters in the right orders for the life of me

That is my daily driver pen type too

I just rip it up and start over. I figure it looks too suspicious.

I've picked up a habit to (sometimes) write in all caps. On the flipside, I've picked up some strategies to differentiate letters and numbers from each other:

• 1 would have the top serif if it needs to be differentiated from lowercase l.
• 2 would start like a question mark, and then continuing on with a horizontal line, something like: ʔ︭
• 5 would be written in two separate strokes, the top one from left to right, and the second from top-left straight down, then a semi-circle going clockwise
• 6 would be written in one smooth stroke from top-right going counter-clockwise down, then up halfway, then intersecting itself at the bottom rather than bottom-left. (Kinda like φ)
• 7 would have the middle bar (differentiating it from a 1)
• 9 would have two strokes, first is a loop starting from top-right counter-clockwise almost meeting itself; second stroke goes from where the first one ends straight down-left-ish
• 0 would have a light stroke going from top-right to bottom-left
• D would be two strokes, kinda like this: |>
• I would have the top and bottom serifs
• J would have its top serif and its tail emphasized and angular, kinda like this: ˧˩̅ (I really hope the unicode characters show up properly)
• S would have its upper part smaller, and its lower part larger and more emphasized, so that it'd look more like a coiled snake.
• U would look like my lowercase u (with the right vertical downward stroke).
• V would be written in two strokes: top-left to bottom, and top-right to bottom.
• X is also written in two strokes: top-left to bottom-right, and top-right to bottom-left
• Z would optionally have the middle bar (Ƶ), but it usually doesn't need it to differentiate from 2

starting a to-do list i guess

For me it’s:

9 looks like 0

0 looks like 9

5 looks like S

6 looks like b

I'm likely past the mid point of my life and still waiting for the day when I wake to find myself imbued with this sort of audacious level of confidence.

Me: "I'm lonely. I'ma find a gf or bf."

One terrible marriage + divorce later

Me: "I'm lonely. But I'm too scared to find a gf or bf. What if it turns out like last time?"

Every oamn time

Same, I can't write a 5 in one smooth motion, when I try to it ends up looking like an S.

Missed opportunity for "5ame"

My 5s are apparently unreadable for most people. Whenever someone asks me what that sign or letter is on anything I wrote I will say it's a 5 without looking. They'll say how I didn't even look. But it's always correct.
