Haven't been writing for a while- I mean the putting pen to paper kind. Then for some strange reasons, I began to feel that desire to start writing again.
I still can't get over the beauty of the spencerian script: http://www.artofmanliness.com/2014/12/16/improve-your-cursive-handwriting/

Went onto eBay to get even more pens with plans to modify them with a zebra G and Nikko G nibs after seeing how much like a flex pen a cheap jinhao can become if you fit one of these babies into it.

Can hardly wait for the pens and nibs to arrive.

On an unrelated note, I realize how sometimes in life, a small seemingly unimportant decision can lead to major upheavals in our lives. one small decision leads us to another small decision to another and another until we reach a point where we realize all these little doors are leading us into a vastly different world. Sometimes the world is one that we desire, sometimes it is one we enter in horror and wonder what the hell we had done. One seemingly minor mistake in our decision making process and poof the life that we envisioned and dreamt about, is gone. The trouble is we will never really know whether we have made a mistake until we get there. But I believe too that we possess this innate sixth sense that warns us of the mistakes we are about to make. It is just too bad that we overwrite these premonitions with logic and self-denial, convincing ourselves into believing otherwise. Why we do that, I'm not sure. Perhaps the more we try to avoid trouble, the more we try to make "safe" decisions,  the more we try to stay in our comfort zone, the more mistakes and troubles we get into. How do we learn to trust our instincts? How do we learn to trust our hearts?
