Calligrapher 35

Handwritten Journal

This is my life nine years after my first handwritten journal.

Like all preceding anniversaries, my handwriting gradually drifted away from its point of origin. With it, who I was as a person. Some could argue I changed but I like think I became more of who I was meant to be. This anniversary was monumental for that very reason. I had finally embraced my calling after years of searching for something sitting a nightstand away.

The prolonged abdication instilled a sense of doubt in both myself and the universe, however. Both wanted proof. Both wanted to know I would never turn away again. To regain the confidence of each, three movements were composed: leave the engineering field, wield a fountain pen, and physically manifest the commitment; a tattoo. The first movement was initiated on this very week.
