Unless they are living their personal dream and telling you all about their personal adventures and how they themselves alone turned themselves alone into a "success story" all alone with no outside help from anybody but their own hand and sweat, then they are leaving a few things out. Nobody does anything alone. You can be completely broke and out of touch alone. You can be a total drunk alone. You can be in a relationship alone. But nobody does anything or becomes anything... alone. The issue is that people either grow apart or hang on to something that was never really there to begin with.

A Beautiful Word

I really enjoyed Calligraphy class in high school. I practice my handwriting not as often as I should. I swear nothing could possibly be more personal these days than to receive a hand-written letter from someone who cares about you. Something like:

Dear Samantha,

It's been too long since we have talked. It has ached me for years. Nothing in this world seems colorful enough in my life because you are nowhere around. Where there once was an openness in me has now become closed off and void.

... I am afraid however that hand-written letters are becoming less and less of an occurrence. When I was finishing college in 2012 there was nobody taking noted by hand like i was doing. I was doing it the hard, long way. I rarely read the books because I needed the money for other things like rent and bongs (lol, kidding). I wrote and continue to write in these little books by hand. I do it mostly because I think it's fun to feel the flow of a beautifully written word... a beautifully written word.
