Unrequited love is not beautiful. There is nothing innately wonderful about words decaying in the back of your throat because they’ll never be set free. Nothing is pure about building romantic fantasies about someone who often belongs to someone else. What is so poetic about feeling the noose tighten around your heart when they don’t look your way? Anyone who has ever felt the raw, soul destroying agony of unrequited feelings will tell you that they wish they had never been afflicted.

Print is predictable and impersonal, conveying information in a mechanical transaction with the reader’s eye. Handwriting, by contrast, resists the eye, reveals its meaning slowly, and is as intimate as skin.“
