Hello Pen

Remember the last time your tried to improve your handwriting? Yeah, me neither. We're so used to typing everything out with a keyboard that our penmanship skills have deteriorated greatly. My class notebook is filled with squiggly lines that are only discernible by me. Sometimes, even I can't remember what I was taking notes of when I come across a horribly disfigured grouping of letters that is supposed to be a sentence. I would practise writing more in hopes of not producing any more of the garbage, but I do not find the time at all. Good handwriting is such a thing to behold. I get jealous of the rare breed of people who write so well that their writing looks like something that was printed. Maybe it's time I scrounged some time for practising after all.
