I Was Reading A Note Tacked To The Board At Work Out Loud And The Coworker Next To Me Turned To Me, Shocked,

I was reading a note tacked to the board at work out loud and the coworker next to me turned to me, shocked, and said, “you can read cursive!”

Like, lol

I know I’m pretty stupid and can’t read a lot of shit but surprisingly cursive is one of them lol

But also it cracked me up at the thought that cursive is now almost like it’s own language where some people can read it and others can’t. Amazing.

Update

(do people read these anymore?)

Anyway, Hey, Tumblr. You’re surprisingly still one of my favorite places.

Where do I even start? My job still takes up a bunch of my time. And I want to be creative.

Um. This is too early and way too late so I’m a bit tired, forgive me.

But any who. Yeah, my job that I thankfully have is still taking up my time but it’s allowing me to be where I am. I still have no WiFi and that’s really hard on my end to publish works that doesn’t involve my phone, mostly my writings.

But also I’ve been painting! If you follow my art account, I’ve been painting a butt ton of Squidward lol. And this is due to the holiday season is coming very soon and too fast. Essentially, I bit off way more than I can chew but what’s new? I’m bad at time management.

But anyway, I’m hoping by next year I’ll get some crap put together and be able to put more stuff out. Honestly, after I do these paintings lol. They’re time eaters just as well but worth it!

Thanks to all who read this and I hope you all have a great day.❤️

Got told today my handwriting is basically Comic Sans and I need to write more Arial Narrow.

Which I think is a pretty great comment in my opinion lmfao.

I just reada really good fic but halfway through I realized "oh shit this is really familiar.... didn't I write something like this once?" And as I kept reading I kept predicting what happened next and the further I went the more convinced I was that they'd ripped off my story-

like, copied the ENTIRE plot and re-written it, just better than I had? The characters were more fleshed-out than mine were, and the POV was more interesting, and the pace made more sense- but it was MY STORY?

So close to the end I was like "holy shit.. do I message them? Ask if my story inspired theirs? Should I be angry? Flattered?" Cause their tags and description didn't mention me AT ALL, which, sure, it's fanfiction to begin with, but if you're using my work than at least credit me as inspo, right? Just to be courteous?

But I get to the end of the final chapter, and it's not finished, and I'm kind of disappointed cause I never finished my story and I was really immersed in their version now and had been looking forwards to seeing how they tied up my loose ends- so I scroll to the bottom to leave a comment, and.

It's MY URL.

IT WAS MY STORY THE WHOLE TIME.

THE ONE *I WROTE*.

And FORGOT ABOUT

BECAUSE I WAS SO INSECURE ABOUT MY SLOPPY, SHALLOW, AMETEUR WRITING
