Excellent way of writing an article, illustrating the importance of hand writing even today

Thank you so much — that truly means a lot to hear. Handwriting is a wonderful, slow living practice, and putting pen to paper makes thoughts feel more honest and alive. I’m really glad that resonated with you <3

as someone who lost their grandma a year ago & talks to the moon, i loved this piece <3 and your moon painting from 2021 is beautiful

Thanks for sharing that — that means a lot. I'm sure your grandmother was a special lady and loved you very, very much. It’s funny because, until I started writing, I had no idea the essay was going to orbit around the moon and my grandmother. Sometimes you have to put pen to paper before you can untangle what’s really sitting in your heart. I didn’t fully connect the dots until afterward. My grandmother was the heart and soul of my world, and I think traces of her live in more corners of my life than I even realize. Thank you again, and I’m so glad you liked the moon painting! I completely forgot I even had that one tucked away and had to go digging for it while writing this essay. Thanks so much for reading <3
