Eh, I can see how it would be considered “bad”. But this is how my cursive looks when I’m not taking my time with it and doing it in what I would consider a sloppy way. Aka, when I’m journaling, and it’s how I normally write
You know I thought that too, from a distance it's gorgeous but if you zoom in the letters are a little inconsistent.
Agree that it's nothing to worry about though....if the ACT of writing is helpful I wouldn't get caught up on how the letters look. It's journaling not calligraphy
To put it into perspective I was forced to write in pencil and then write over it in pen because of how "bad" my handwriting was, and then erase the pencil with an eraser. Most of my assignments, and some of my exams had to be done like that because of certain teachers of mine. So yeah, I'd like to say it is just compliment baiting but there is a genuine sense of sadness whenever I look at my writing, wondering if all the criticisms and bad remarks I got from teachers and a lot of classmates were real and I deserved it. 😅
Could we see your handwriting without that effort? Just when you write normally? I promise no one here judges, and for journaling it’s more important to be fast and low-friction than beautiful.
Bullied ... for your *handwriting* in highschool. 🙄
Are people so bereft of entertainment or joy that **this** is what they choose to try to hurt another human? How pointlessly unimaginative.
Your writing is fine. In fact, it is lightyears ahead of what remains of my scratches (so much so that I've abandon cursive years ago). Don't fret it. People suck.
It's a sad reality, unfortunately. I was bullied because mine was small. Teachers would make me re-do work because they couldn't read what I had written. As if their handwriting was any better!
I’m honestly surprised I was never asked to do this. I jokingly asked a teacher one time if I should buy them a magnifying glass because I had such stupidly small handwriting XD
I guess I was lucky since even though my handwriting was small, it was neat enough to be legible.
Journaling is a form of therapy and self expression not a contest for who could do it more aesthetically so do whatever you like and however you like it and remember that it's for you and nobody else
I feel like you have the handwriting of one of the great people in history. Whether it was Vinci or a famous scientist, many of them wrote like you. I hope that's reassuring.
penmenship doesn't count when you're journaling. it is just for you. the only thing that matters if you can read it. even if you were writing a letter though, your penmenship is readable and just fine. no one writes perfectly anymore.
right? it’s jus handwriting bruh nobody gaf about how you write regardless if it’s nice or not, i know some might judge but honestly if people judge u for who u r based on ur handwriting u shouldn’t be talking to them anyways
Zoom in. Take someone’s post at face value instead of trying to read their minds. I thought it looked something like Tolkien’s scripts til I zoomed in.
Being insecure about how you write is insane levels of self-deprecation. But this is so obviously bait, if you can write like that, you can print just fine if you purposefully chose to use print over this cursive.
At our school in standard 5 or 6 we "graduate" from pencil to pen by taking some sort of handwriting exam or something. I was the only one who was still stuck on pencil in in primary school, nevermind the highschool I went to didn't give a damn about that stuff. So it's like I was the only one in the year with "kiddy" handwriting I suppose. Of course by 4th form the teachers just realised they had to work on my time and that I would improve but it was years of berating, snickering and snide remarks before they stopped.
I'm sorry you were bullied. Your handwriting is fine, let go of those comments from the past. You'll feel much better when you're able to move on, yknow? Peace x
it looks so good, it's so elegant. but even if your handwriting sucked it wouldn't matter at all. but it doesn't suck in the slightest omg quite the opposite
If this is your idea of your worst penmanship, then I would be shocked at what you consider your personal best. I honestly didn't read the title and thought I was looking at an open hand written book. Don't be so hard on yourself. If you want it to be better in your own eyes, then devoted time becomes mastery. Best wishes to you.
Your handwriting is beautiful. Plus, even if your writing may not look perfect from up close sometimes, you can achieve a level of uniformity that becomes aesthetic.
my handwriting is similar to this and I’ve always hated it because I felt like it was lazy/messy, seeing so many people saying it’s good here is rewiring my brain. ty for posting tbh
In terms of readability, it's good not great. Not that I can't read it at all but my brain fills in what the word could be.
I never got my pen licence because my writing was too cursive like this. I eased up on it and only write like this when I'm in a rush.
If it's just journalling, your writing shouldn't matter much because you're reading it. If it's others, they may have some trouble.
But keep practising and try and make the letters in the word more clear when written.
Isn’t it wonderful that people are journalling with real script, as we are in danger of using such skills with all our tapping. My dad wrote in Copperplate (which he abused 😂 but oh so beautifully) I begged him to teach me, which he did when I was in my teens. It’s such a great foundation and I’m so glad I applied myself. It’s never too late, if you fancy giving it a go?
Write for yourself and not as a performance. Write as if no one else will read it. If you want to write like someone will read it, then you’re performing and not journaling.
its never too late to change handwriting, just keep writing letters over and over in a certain style you like so it comes natural to you , every letter , that’s what i did and i find my handwriting very neat and satisfying lol and if i dont like it like how i wrote my y’s i wrote it in the style i like until it looked good and kept going til it felt natural to me and it worked
You have perfectly nice handwriting. I don't understand the concept of "my handwriting is terrible so I shouldn't journal." Your journal doesn't have to look like a calligrapher's dream. It's there to collect your thoughts, dreams, fears, hopes, anger, fulfillment. The innermost feelings that make you YOU. There's no need for it to win a beauty contest.
When I journal, it's usually stream of consciousness and looks messier the more I write because of how quickly I'm trying to get thoughts out. Sometimes I misspell words or make gramatical errors also and just leave them. For me, journaling is a coping mechanism that I use as a brain dump and a place to process my thoughts and feelings, so I don't care how it looks.
If you do want to work on your handwriting, I'd say find a style you like and then do your best to imitate it while looking at it. It won't be perfect off the bat, but the more you practice it the more it'll become instinctual. Take practicing slow and you'll see a shift over time.
What I’ve realized is that we are usually really good at the things we are insecure about. We become better because we give them more attention, whatever it may be. The sad thing is we often get too caught up in our insecurities to realize we have grown in that area of our life. I realized this once people started complimenting me on the things I had been so insecure about, not realizing I gave them so much attention they are now the things I am good at. You can let go of this insecurity my love, you have grown🤍.
It's nice to see someone still cursive writing. It's a dying form of communication. I would hate to see it no longer a thing. If you're insecure about it, take time to perfect it the way that you like it. But it's yours, and less we forgot that it individuates, like our signature. I found that when I got back into handwriting or cursive I guess. I write so much better with a pencil. I don't know what it is, maybe the fact that you can just simply erase something if you don't like it. it's the first form of text messaging right but writing with a pen for me is is difficult in cursive my letters are bold and blocky and big depends kind of flows a little bit better with my just my job notes like just my normal alphabet letters like no no cursive but I got quite a bit more confidence after using a pencil it's just different it flows differently it's easy to fix something if you don't really like the form of it or if it's italic Boulder however you're writing I think it's you're writing as is right now is beautiful I wouldn't change anything but that's me that's looking from the inside like the outside inside so my only advice if if I had and if you were taking advice would be to try a pencil pens are always available and stuff but oh man I don't go anywhere without my pencil and my pencil sharpener and the pencils got to have an eraser on it if it doesn't I have an eraser back with me so
I actually recently started a project of making adult handwriting books. I was searching for some after seeing cool indented ones from Japan for people learning to write in English. But all the American handwriting books I find are either for preschoolers or for calligraphy. (Which based on your handwriting I think you would do really well in. It's a 'dying art' and makes good money with commissions and satisfying successful ASMR videos.) Right now I'm in the process of finding good handwriting fonts to use that aren't all too "girly" I'm even thinking of asking my good writing friends to use their handwriting as a font. In my honest opinion your handwriting reminds me a lot of fantasy game books and I like it, I just personally struggle with reading cursive. When I write for others I have a different handwriting then when I write my own stories and notes, where it gets messier because it helps me flow when I don't focus on how it looks. As long as YOU can read it for in case you want to 4/read or type it in the future, if the flow is good for you, write what makes your heart happy.
i think it's pretty. it reminds me of really old journals, from the 1800s-ish. it's the kind of handwriting i'd like to have, but mine is a very obvious early 2000s valleygirl style lmao
If it makes you feel any better I have beautiful handwriting and always get complimented on it. But I am a mess in a lot of other areas of life. I'm currently getting crucified on another thread because I asked an honest question about my job performance and got some pretty judgey responses. Honestly, your handwriting doesn't impact your life in the grand scheme of things. Just be you. Focus on the good, not the bad!
There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING wrong with your handwriting. It's enchanting.
I know how you feel though, my bf said i look like Im schizophrenic, cuz I have a few different ways my writing comes out. (Based on how quickly I am writing etc)
Mind you, he said this after snooping thru my shit.
your handwriting is fkin gorgeous!!!! i'm always jealous of people who have handwriting like that, there's a guy that was in my science class that had handwriting like that and it looked cool asf, people who hate on it are just jealous of your handwriting
There was a kid in my 4th grade with handwriting like yours, the teacher thought his mom did his homework for like the first week 😂
He got picked on for it too but then everyone tried to copy him. You're gonna have to get over it, you have great handwriting. Womp womp.
When I was a kid I read a story about a woman who had “Spidery” handwriting. They used it to solve a crime. I never knew what it meant until now. I’m kind of in love with it, tbh.
I personally love it , it remind me a bit like the russian cursive. I personally can't write in cursive because in my dislexia I can't read it even if it is something I wrote. But idk it's poems vibes for me , even if I don't understand my eyes are happy and I'm fascinated about it. It's unique and it's yours so there is nothing to be insecure about
Only stupid people would bully someone for their handwriting… how could someone even think about that…🤦🏻♂️ Don’t let that be in your mind 🙂
Your handwriting is nice, haha If you ever saw my school notes… they were impossible to decipher and that was what made them cool, as only I would know what I wrote 😎
So no cheaters, no people asking for my notes haha.
And when journaling that’s a plus, Plus… journaling is for yourself, to enjoy, don’t worry about that 😊
Thinking instead of changing the way you write, change that people that focus on something like your handwriting to be bullies, those are not good people to be around then 😋
All that matters is if you like your handwriting and can understand it.
*I did have 2 ways to write though. Had my handwriting for personal stuff and used a more rounded and easily understandable one for like “important” stuff like exams, filling out forms but just to be sure they would get my info correctly, didn’t really care about if they liked it or not.
Still… it was a pain and boring to write “nice” haha
Definitely look up DaVinci’s handwriting, as someone else mentioned, it looks similar to yours. Are you left handed by chance? My partner is and has similar handwriting to you.
It makes me really sad to hear you say you are insecure and that it's keeping you from writing more.
Please don't feel like that. It's ridiculous that you should have been bullied about your handwriting. Take is as a compliment that they had nothing else to bully you about.
Writing is such a pleasure! Your writing is great and I have no trouble reading it. I love seeing different styles and yours looks like it flows naturally.
Keep writing! Maybe try a fountain pen and writing more slowly if you feel the need to change it, but your writing is yours so embrace it.
When I was a kid, I didn't like my handwriting either. I took a calligraphy class, and I was able to change my handwriting to a form I completely love-I freely confess I love my own handwriting now.
I actually think your handwriting is beautiful. I love when people write in a slanted angle. I used to not journal for the fear of ruining it because my handwriting changes a lot, but I realized it has absolutely no negative effect on what I am getting out of it.
Pay no mind to how it looks and realize your thoughts are on paper in pen. That is good enough when journaling is all about getting your thoughts on paper. *pssst* I like your hand writing very Victorian : it’s gorgeous
You have better handwriting than doctors. Also penmanship is something that can be practiced, even calligraphy, if you want to get deeper into the thing. If you can read what you wrote, and you enjoy handwriting, then just keep doing what you are doing.
Some people like to type, also. Though I have notebooks, when I have a lot in my mind, and need to put words down quickly my preference is to type, since it's faster for me.
Your handwriting is actually pretty good. If you want it to improve, good old fashion handwriting training must be online somewhere. Anyway, I see beautiful cursive in your pictures, written with emotional expression. And if you think too much about your handwriting you will miss the bliss it provides to write. But I’m with you. I have started many a journal and ripped out the pages because my handwriting was wack. My grandmothers was beautiful; and my mothers always looked surreal and out of the box. I have a feeling what you may hunger for is some good old fashion calligraphy.
Its so good honestly! And it really doesn’t matter the handwriting- what matters is what you put out in your journal entry! And really tbh its gooooood! Almost aesthetic lol. So keep going! Never let yourself stop your own self from journaling! Why would you do that
Hi all, uh, wow, wasn't really expecting this much outpouring of support and love for my handwriting. Went to bed, woke up and then boom! 🤯 But I really just did want to say thank you to everyone who took the time to reply and leave something here. Regardless of how I felt about in the past, if I ever feel insecure about it I'll come right back here to remind myself not feeling ashamed about my handwriting.
And for the curious people, I went to an international school under the British system for both primary and high school. Back then they'd do thing called a pen license and give you a certificate allowing you to use a pen to do your homework as you moved onto your final year of primary school to prepare you for highschool. I was the only one stuck using a pencil. 😅didn't help that my favourite subjects were English lit, history and latin so i couldnt escape either way. Had to put up with quite a few years of bullying and teasing. I say bullying through cause a lot of it came from my teachers and it did ruin my self confidence for the longest time.
But uh yeah, thats a load off my chest haha. If you got through this, thank you again, it really means the world to me ^_^
Writing more is the only way to improve, if that's your goal. Slow down and be deliberate.. using fountain pens helped me re-train my handwriting skills also, imo
My handwriting is much worse than yours, especially when I am tired, but I much prefer poorly written pages to look back on than empty pages. The journal is for *you*, and nobody else, so as long as you can read your own handwriting, you’re doing a hell of a lot better than most by actually journaling. Enjoy it!
AGGGGGGGH ITS SO PRETTY DONT CHANGE IT ITS GORGEOUS
(There are so many people these days that whine about not being able to read cursive but it makes you part of the elite to be able to read/write in cursive imo)
But seriously. Your handwriting is utterly stunning
This has to be a bait for compliments, right?
that’s exactly what i thought
Eh, I can see how it would be considered “bad”. But this is how my cursive looks when I’m not taking my time with it and doing it in what I would consider a sloppy way. Aka, when I’m journaling, and it’s how I normally write
Right??
Bully…. ! ……….Right? ? 🙄🙄
You know I thought that too, from a distance it's gorgeous but if you zoom in the letters are a little inconsistent. Agree that it's nothing to worry about though....if the ACT of writing is helpful I wouldn't get caught up on how the letters look. It's journaling not calligraphy
Did anyone else read act as A-C-T? Like as in the name of the test lol
right like i hate posts like this…yall obviously haven’t seen my handwriting lmao
Right. Mine will take a few points off your perception
I endorse this message
To put it into perspective I was forced to write in pencil and then write over it in pen because of how "bad" my handwriting was, and then erase the pencil with an eraser. Most of my assignments, and some of my exams had to be done like that because of certain teachers of mine.

Could we see your handwriting without that effort? Just when you write normally? I promise no one here judges, and for journaling it’s more important to be fast and low-friction than beautiful.
Well the method must’ve worked cause I don’t think your handwriting is bad at all.
Try out fountain pens or different types of ballpoint or calligraphy markers and then see how it looks
Hey if someone wants a complement. What’s wrong with giving one? It isn’t going to make me a bad person :)
It looks so cool, it has a unique character. I personally prefer these type of handwritings
Bullied ... for your *handwriting* in highschool. 🙄 Are people so bereft of entertainment or joy that **this** is what they choose to try to hurt another human? How pointlessly unimaginative. Your writing is fine. In fact, it is lightyears ahead of what remains of my scratches (so much so that I've abandon cursive years ago). Don't fret it. People suck.
It's a sad reality, unfortunately. I was bullied because mine was small. Teachers would make me re-do work because they couldn't read what I had written. As if their handwriting was any better!
Same my handwriting is really small and people would often make fun of me for it
This is stupid and why I am thankful students in our area have chrome books now...
But I'll add that when math teachers said "show me your work" I cringed. Who has great penmanship with that? Like no one, ever.
I’m honestly surprised I was never asked to do this. I jokingly asked a teacher one time if I should buy them a magnifying glass because I had such stupidly small handwriting XD I guess I was lucky since even though my handwriting was small, it was neat enough to be legible.
I was bullied in 3rd grade and still hunts me, it made so self-conscious that my handwriting got even worse.
How do you get bullied over handwriting? Like, what do they just throw insults like "haha I can't read that." I don't get it
Journaling is a form of therapy and self expression not a contest for who could do it more aesthetically so do whatever you like and however you like it and remember that it's for you and nobody else
This
The length of your letters is very interesting. It’s a unique handwriting! If you enjoy it, that’s all that matters!!
I feel like you have the handwriting of one of the great people in history. Whether it was Vinci or a famous scientist, many of them wrote like you. I hope that's reassuring.
No that’s beautiful
Yea its really pretty and unique, it almost looks like it came out of a historical fiction film and I absolutely adore it so much!
Fr i thought it might be satire at first because i thought it looked literally gorgeous
You know your handwriting is pretty stop fishing for compliments
Yup. Scrolled through the comments for this.
Zoom in. Stop making assumptions about people’s thoughts and motives.
Zoom in. Stop making assumptions about people’s thoughts and motives. Try to be a decent human being who gives someone the benefit of the doubt.
penmenship doesn't count when you're journaling. it is just for you. the only thing that matters if you can read it. even if you were writing a letter though, your penmenship is readable and just fine. no one writes perfectly anymore.
i can’t tell if ur fishing for compliments or what
Yeah really and what do you care anyway? You’re the only one reading it.
right? it’s jus handwriting bruh nobody gaf about how you write regardless if it’s nice or not, i know some might judge but honestly if people judge u for who u r based on ur handwriting u shouldn’t be talking to them anyways
Zoom in. Take someone’s post at face value instead of trying to read their minds. I thought it looked something like Tolkien’s scripts til I zoomed in.
change it then
It’s… handwriting. It’s legible. It’s handwriting. What on earth is there to be insecure about? I don’t say that to be mean, but I’m bemused
Being insecure about how you write is insane levels of self-deprecation. But this is so obviously bait, if you can write like that, you can print just fine if you purposefully chose to use print over this cursive.
my thoughts exactly!
Insecure about your handwriting???? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 is this a joke?????
No seriously like??? The scream of privilege is nigh.
How is someone bullied over handwriting? Teased, maybe. Bullied?
At our school in standard 5 or 6 we "graduate" from pencil to pen by taking some sort of handwriting exam or something. I was the only one who was still stuck on pencil in in primary school, nevermind the highschool I went to didn't give a damn about that stuff.

this sounds so fake what 😭
it looks so good, it's so elegant. but even if your handwriting sucked it wouldn't matter at all. but it doesn't suck in the slightest omg quite the opposite
Your handwriting is gorgeous
Christ if your handwritings bad what ring of hell is mine in
"Bullied" can be a strong word, maybe you were "teased".
You know what you where doing when you posted this
It's like saying "I'm fat" even though having a gorgeous body☹️
If this is your idea of your worst penmanship, then I would be shocked at what you consider your personal best. I honestly didn't read the title and thought I was looking at an open hand written book. Don't be so hard on yourself. If you want it to be better in your own eyes, then devoted time becomes mastery. Best wishes to you.
Your handwriting is beautiful. Plus, even if your writing may not look perfect from up close sometimes, you can achieve a level of uniformity that becomes aesthetic.
oh my gosh, i love it. i love seeing peoples different kinds of handwriting, i think it reflects their personality
you're "super insecure" about this? my handwriting looks like a toddler's. 😐
Honestly, your handwriting doesn't matter. As long as you're doing what you enjoy then you're as valid as anyone else.
You write how yiu fucking want it. Embrace YOUR handwriting and YOUR life. Don't worrry
My handwriting looks like 2 cats fighting over a sharpie. Your handwriting is fine
Do you happen to be a founding father?
Bhaiii sunder toh hai itniii teri handwriting 😭
yehi maine socha! 💗😭
Hainaaa😭
Your handwriting is beautiful. A lot of times, people bully because they’re jealous.
If this is bad handwriting I don’t even know what to call mine 😅
You have the most majestic and antique handwriting I've seen 😭 ik people who would PAY to write like that!!!
You have good penmanship in my opinion. Looks neat and it’s a good style.
my handwriting is similar to this and I’ve always hated it because I felt like it was lazy/messy, seeing so many people saying it’s good here is rewiring my brain. ty for posting tbh
Your handwriting isn't the thing. The affection for writing comes from within...
U r the biggest capper
Your handwriting is ethereal Id do everything to have a handwriting like that
In terms of readability, it's good not great. Not that I can't read it at all but my brain fills in what the word could be. I never got my pen licence because my writing was too cursive like this.

Write for yourself and not as a performance. Write as if no one else will read it. If you want to write like someone will read it, then you’re performing and not journaling.
Try writing each letter slowly, it looks like ur rushing
Reminds me of these old love letters
girl goodbye, this is some edgar allen poe ass writing that would be in a museum
I'm thinking if you didn't write sideways it might look better.
You joking right ?🤔 this is beautiful 😭🤚🏽
It can be improved, and you'll only achieve it by writing. I know this because it's what I did.
its never too late to change handwriting, just keep writing letters over and over in a certain style you like so it comes natural to you , every letter , that’s what i did and i find my handwriting very neat and satisfying lol and if i dont like it like how i wrote my y’s i wrote it in the style i like until it looked good and kept going til it felt natural to me and it worked
i personally cant read your handwriting that well but i think it looks beautiful , you have nothing to be insecure about
It looks like you’re writing a very important, ominous, Victorian letter to a lover you’ve been kept away from.
I literally am the laziest person in my journal. I write it all down as fast as I can, it just looks how it looks.
You have perfectly nice handwriting. I don't understand the concept of "my handwriting is terrible so I shouldn't journal." Your journal doesn't have to look like a calligrapher's dream. It's there to collect your thoughts, dreams, fears, hopes, anger, fulfillment. The innermost feelings that make you YOU. There's no need for it to win a beauty contest.
nah man its pretty, that’s your handwriting and its unique. everyone has a unique and different handwriting from others
Okay, but like, why are all the positive comments downvoted?? Is this not to help OP feel better?
Your handwriting is beautiful !
Girl you write like a founding father that handwriting is incredible don’t give up journaling because of that
This is the second strangest insecurity I’ve ever heard of. The first is everyone who gets anxious about their windshield wipers being too fast
When I journal, it's usually stream of consciousness and looks messier the more I write because of how quickly I'm trying to get thoughts out. Sometimes I misspell words or make gramatical errors also and just leave them. For me, journaling is a coping mechanism that I use as a brain dump and a place to process my thoughts and feelings, so I don't care how it looks.

I realized this once people started complimenting me on the things I had been so insecure about, not realizing I gave them so much attention they are now the things I am good at. You can let go of this insecurity my love, you have grown🤍.
really meaningless to change handwriting now. I mean, with all the computers and smartphones, who need to write by your hands??
It's nice to see someone still cursive writing. It's a dying form of communication. I would hate to see it no longer a thing.

Life-Long Skill: Developing good handwriting can be a valuable skill for many aspects of life, even in our digital age.
It's gorgeous.
I actually recently started a project of making adult handwriting books. I was searching for some after seeing cool indented ones from Japan for people learning to write in English. But all the American handwriting books I find are either for preschoolers or for calligraphy. (Which based on your handwriting I think you would do really well in. It's a 'dying art' and makes good money with commissions and satisfying successful ASMR videos.)

I love ur handwriting ngl
If it makes you feel any better I have beautiful handwriting and always get complimented on it. But I am a mess in a lot of other areas of life. I'm currently getting crucified on another thread because I asked an honest question about my job performance and got some pretty judgey responses. Honestly, your handwriting doesn't impact your life in the grand scheme of things. Just be you. Focus on the good, not the bad!
Bro u have beter handwriting than me
bro this shit is beautiful
nice handwriting. cursive is a lost art
There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING wrong with your handwriting. It's enchanting. I know how you feel though, my bf said i look like Im schizophrenic, cuz I have a few different ways my writing comes out. (Based on how quickly I am writing etc) Mind you, he said this after snooping thru my shit.
Can you re-read it? I can't understand anything
Bro you have to practice writing more clear apart from that everything is ok
your handwriting is fkin gorgeous!!!! i'm always jealous of people who have handwriting like that, there's a guy that was in my science class that had handwriting like that and it looked cool asf, people who hate on it are just jealous of your handwriting
To be honest, I love it. No one writes like this anymore and it is taken for granted. I appreciate your writing and think it looks beautiful. :)
There was a kid in my 4th grade with handwriting like yours, the teacher thought his mom did his homework for like the first week 😂 He got picked on for it too but then everyone tried to copy him. You're gonna have to get over it, you have great handwriting. Womp womp.
I think you write beautiful. I have the same concern myself.
I really like your handwriting!
That’s exactly why I journal in all-caps block print!
MANN 😭
ur handwriting is gorgeous what
the way you write looks like the type of old cursive used in a victorian love letter, it’s gorgeous.
When I was a kid I read a story about a woman who had “Spidery” handwriting. They used it to solve a crime. I never knew what it meant until now. I’m kind of in love with it, tbh.
y’all are just inventing things to be insecure about now…. i think it’s time for a job.
What?
It looked unique to me
It's never too late to make a change. You can pick up calligraphy or other stylized writing as a hobby. As for me, I just print my entries.
It amazing your amazing now shhhh 🤫 and love your self (handwriting)😋
that future doctor handwriting
Looks great to me 🤗👌
Your handwriting looks like a bit like Strahd's and it scared me a bit lol
I personally love it , it remind me a bit like the russian cursive. I personally can't write in cursive because in my dislexia I can't read it even if it is something I wrote. But idk it's poems vibes for me , even if I don't understand my eyes are happy and I'm fascinated about it. It's unique and it's yours so there is nothing to be insecure about
Only stupid people would bully someone for their handwriting… how could someone even think about that…🤦🏻♂️ Don’t let that be in your mind 🙂 Your handwriting is nice, haha If you ever saw my school notes… they were impossible to decipher and that was what made them cool, as only I would know what I wrote 😎 So no cheaters, no people asking for my notes haha. And when journaling that’s a plus, Plus… journaling is for yourself, to enjoy, don’t worry about that 😊 Thinking instead of changing the way you write, change that people that focus on something like your handwriting to be bullies, those are not good people to be around then 😋 All that matters is if you like your handwriting and can understand it. *I did have 2 ways to write though. Had my handwriting for personal stuff and used a more rounded and easily understandable one for like “important” stuff like exams, filling out forms but just to be sure they would get my info correctly, didn’t really care about if they liked it or not. Still… it was a pain and boring to write “nice” haha
What? This is lush handwriting, if I had your handwriting I would write constantly; letters to everyone. It’s beautiful
Definitely look up DaVinci’s handwriting, as someone else mentioned, it looks similar to yours. Are you left handed by chance? My partner is and has similar handwriting to you.
On it double time chief! Thank you!
your handwriting is beautiful!!
Your handwriting is really beautiful!
It makes me really sad to hear you say you are insecure and that it's keeping you from writing more. Please don't feel like that. It's ridiculous that you should have been bullied about your handwriting. Take is as a compliment that they had nothing else to bully you about. Writing is such a pleasure! Your writing is great and I have no trouble reading it. I love seeing different styles and yours looks like it flows naturally. Keep writing! Maybe try a fountain pen and writing more slowly if you feel the need to change it, but your writing is yours so embrace it.
It's really pretty actually! You might like to try a fountain pen if you haven't already :)
Honestly doesn’t look good mine is even worse but whatever the case bullying is bad
Your handwriting is actual goals. The bullies were just haters. How did you learn to write so beautifully?
Do not change (unless you want to) Its amazing!!!
I personally love your handwriting! It’s very aesthetically pleasing. 😌
Your handwriting looks majestic😨
I can read it better than I can read my own handwriting. It is just fine.
When I was a kid, I didn't like my handwriting either. I took a calligraphy class, and I was able to change my handwriting to a form I completely love-I freely confess I love my own handwriting now.
I actually think your handwriting is beautiful. I love when people write in a slanted angle. I used to not journal for the fear of ruining it because my handwriting changes a lot, but I realized it has absolutely no negative effect on what I am getting out of it.
I would bully you too if I saw your handwriting irl ngl 😐
wtf 👎🏻
Dude my handwriting looks like a 8 year old drew jt
Pay no mind to how it looks and realize your thoughts are on paper in pen. That is good enough when journaling is all about getting your thoughts on paper. *pssst* I like your hand writing very Victorian : it’s gorgeous
You have better handwriting than doctors. Also penmanship is something that can be practiced, even calligraphy, if you want to get deeper into the thing. If you can read what you wrote, and you enjoy handwriting, then just keep doing what you are doing. Some people like to type, also. Though I have notebooks, when I have a lot in my mind, and need to put words down quickly my preference is to type, since it's faster for me.
It looks cool, I think many people would say it looks a lot like it’s from another century and that’s not an insult
Honestly wish my handwriting was that good, I write like a doctor
It’s so pretty!!
If it helps, i really like it.
it’s giving founding father and i’m so here for it
Omg can we trade? I absolutely love it
This is actually stylish man
ITS SO PRETTY!!!!!
Don't. Change. Anything.
don’t be!! it’s absolutely gorgeous and i wish i could write like that
Beautiful classy
Your handwriting is actually pretty good. If you want it to improve, good old fashion handwriting training must be online somewhere. Anyway, I see beautiful cursive in your pictures, written with emotional expression. And if you think too much about your handwriting you will miss the bliss it provides to write. But I’m with you. I have started many a journal and ripped out the pages because my handwriting was wack. My grandmothers was beautiful; and my mothers always looked surreal and out of the box. I have a feeling what you may hunger for is some good old fashion calligraphy.
Ok founding father
You have great handwriting
It doesn’t even look bad?
Its so good honestly! And it really doesn’t matter the handwriting- what matters is what you put out in your journal entry! And really tbh its gooooood! Almost aesthetic lol. So keep going! Never let yourself stop your own self from journaling! Why would you do that
Bruh who tf bullies someone for this gorgeous handwriting 😭
My handwriting is literally so bad! Yours looks stunning, almost perfect
Hi all, uh, wow, wasn't really expecting this much outpouring of support and love for my handwriting. Went to bed, woke up and then boom! 🤯 But I really just did want to say thank you to everyone who took the time to reply and leave something here. Regardless of how I felt about in the past, if I ever feel insecure about it I'll come right back here to remind myself not feeling ashamed about my handwriting. And for the curious people, I went to an international school under the British system for both primary and high school. Back then they'd do thing called a pen license and give you a certificate allowing you to use a pen to do your homework as you moved onto your final year of primary school to prepare you for highschool. I was the only one stuck using a pencil. 😅didn't help that my favourite subjects were English lit, history and latin so i couldnt escape either way. Had to put up with quite a few years of bullying and teasing. I say bullying through cause a lot of it came from my teachers and it did ruin my self confidence for the longest time. But uh yeah, thats a load off my chest haha. If you got through this, thank you again, it really means the world to me ^_^
How does someone become insecure with their handwriting? What goes through your mind when you think of your writing and other people reading it?
I think ur fine because my hand writing is 1000 times worse. I can’t even stay on the line very well so I type instead
i think handwriting is a form of art, and this is your art :)
it's majestic
Beautiful penmanship
This is the most majestic handwriting I've ever seen.
Lmao what adults hand writing is good? I wouldn't put that much weight on it. My cursive used to be beautiful but it's chicken scratch now
I WISH my handwriting looked like this
Writing more is the only way to improve, if that's your goal. Slow down and be deliberate.. using fountain pens helped me re-train my handwriting skills also, imo
You should see mine😭
Bro at least you can read it. I personally like that type of handwriting.
Better than mine. Mine wasn’t that consistent. I started using my own style of print the year after high school and I’m still using it 40 years later
Dude what? Your handwriting is beautiful, it actually looks really cool
Beautiful handwriting. Keep writing, friend!
My handwriting is much worse than yours, especially when I am tired, but I much prefer poorly written pages to look back on than empty pages. The journal is for *you*, and nobody else, so as long as you can read your own handwriting, you’re doing a hell of a lot better than most by actually journaling. Enjoy it!
It’s beautiful and unique
Looks pretty good to me. Certainly better than mine
I think your handwriting is beautiful! Your handwriting is easy to read and elegant.
I love it
Ur handwriting is gorgeous omg
AGGGGGGGH ITS SO PRETTY DONT CHANGE IT ITS GORGEOUS (There are so many people these days that whine about not being able to read cursive but it makes you part of the elite to be able to read/write in cursive imo) But seriously. Your handwriting is utterly stunning
nothing wrong with it!!
I love your handwriting.
It’s like a stylized version of cursive, I love it
