Obsessions: ✍🏽

Obsessions are interesting in that they can be unique to individuals and stem from spontanaeity or chance rather than practice like other habits, hobbies, or crafts. Usually people stumble on obsessions through accident and discover them by accident. You do something once, figure out you're enameled by it, and then just like that something clicks- you're obsessed.

At least, that's how it worked for me. Ever since I could remember I was oddly intrigued by penmanship. I started to write my name, my family members' names, friends' names, strangers' -whom I just met- names over and over again in different caricatures and styles. I created my signature in 15 different formats when I was in elementary school and the cursive lesson we had to take in the third grade was way more play than work.

Learning to develop neat and changeable handwriting was an outcome of this obsession I had when I was younger (and still do)  of exploring the different nuances of style through doodling. Embarrassingly or weirdly enough, this habit and obsession lead to me discovering that I have a favorite pen. The BIC "Xtra smooth" in black. It's as smooth as a baby's butt and works like a charm!

If anyone is in lack of an obsession or hobby to occupy yourself I'd recommend exploring your handwriting. All you need is a pen and a paper and you can do it anywhere! For all you know now it could just click.
