When I was younger

When I was younger, before I learned to write in cursive, I would make big loopy scribbles and call it cursive. It didn't say anything, but I would say it did because I couldn't read cursive yet and it all looked like scribbling to me. Do you ever look at something you're writing or reading and wonder how your mind translates that from big loopy scribbles to something with meaning?

It also makes me think of watching my dad type when I could only hunt-and-peck and being awed (awed! awed! not odd! shut up.) that he could just naturally find the keys without looking for them. Now I can sometimes type faster than I think (no comment from the peanut gallery, thankyouverymuch).

It's interesting to look back at the way my mind used to work and wonder how I got here.
