Same with mine. Mine is ugly, but it is technically usually readable. But to figure mine out you don’t have to relearn everything you thought you knew about how life works. With them you never know what word will come next with their word salad, but when I write something that’s not readable the meaning will be able to be guessed or surmised.
But then, who actually handwrites anything anymore? Other than a signature I mean. And I’m not just talking about the objective waste of existence that is cursive (at least at the moment, I have opinions on that too tho). Even basic hand writing is all but completely useless now. And the little things it is still used for are fading day by day.
)I still write things by hand because it seems to engage another part of my brain to help me remember. I can remember most of a shopping list that I’ve written down, even if I forgot the list itself. I have so little patience for forming words, and cursive actually can be written so much faster than print once it becomes second nature. I’ve fallen into a weird hybrid of cursive and print that defaults to whichever letter is able to be formed fastest. If you never got to the point where cursive happened “accidentally” then yeah I guess it can seem pointless, but it can be super useful with enough proficiency.
I guess that’s true now that you mention it. I never studied throughout high school but if I took notes on it I just knew it. 99% of the notes I took never even got looked at once after moving on to the next page, but I knew that stuff. Maybe this kind of thing is one of the last few uses to die. And this in and of itself won’t prevent it from becoming extinct eventually.
Dude I write the same way but I’ll do you one better. It’s a weird combination of cursive, print, upper case AND lower case letters. Just depends what would flow better from the previous letter and it can also vary depending on the type of writing instrument I’m holding.

In truth, mine isn’t great either. It’s not all shaky and squiggly like these folks, though, just sloppy.
