Beautiful handwriting gives me pleasant feeling. In Nov, 2018, I decided to take few private lessons to learn my first calligraphy script called "Engrosser Script".
It was very boring at the beginning as all I had to write about were upstroke, downstroke, curve, etc. "Am I back in kindergarten?" However, I was told that it is very important to master the basic fundamentals - and she is so "dang" right!
During the first few days, I was always constantly asking myself, "What made you to take the course in the first place?" "Are you enjoying it?". Those are all the thoughts that constantly filled my mind but were also the forces that kept me moving forward.
After a few boring days, I started to fall in love with my calligraphy journey. It is so amazing even though I know there is a long way to go!!
Have you had a similar experience in life?
