personal note

My handwriting looks very similar to my mother's.

This is especially noticeable in the M's, which are almost identical, trending towards straight diagonals on the left and sloping concave curves on the right. That's not to say that or handwriting doesn't have differences: mine is overall taller than hers in most cases, inclined to print over cursive.

But it's strange: I never modeled my writing on hers, yet our writing is more similar than any of my siblings' is to either of us. If we were to subscribe to the idea of handwriting corresponding to personality, well--I don't speak to my mother, which for one reason is because of our dissimilarity.

I don't know what to make of it.
