Back to handwriting again, but this time in a little different form. I love looking at very old postcards with handwriting from many years ago, before computers were even around. This is a postcard that someone sent from Tahiti. I love their cursive font. I feel as though actually handwriting in cursive has become somewhat of a lost practice or art. It seems as though everyone used to write in cursive in older times, before the days of technology, and it seems as though they all look very fancy and detailed. I feel as though nice cursive takes practice, and it is slower, and unfortunately, the world is moving so fast at this point a lot of us just do not have the time for such nice handwriting, let alone do we even have time to be writing postcards. It is very unfortunate, as it seems that a postcard is a very meaningful and personal way to reach out to someone, starting with choosing a fitting postcard for the particular person all the way to what it is you actually write on that postcard.
