This Is Who I Am

I want your handwriting.
Have you ever considered how strange it is that handwriting fonts have come to convey a kind of folksy authenticity in the design lexicon of our age? It’s disingenuous. Handwriting fonts - especially the ones you see everywhere (Comic Sans, Papyrus, Lucida Handwriting) - are mechanically reproduced and manipulated into a kind of cloying, fake, plastic perfection.
Penmanship is mostly a lost art - it is (rightfully) taught less and less in school, and the opportunities for people to see your handwriting are few and far between. As a result, modern handwriting looks really cool. What’s authentic and charming and inviting about real handwriting are the little imperfections that prove it came from a real person.
SO - I have decided to become a collector of handwriting.
Here’s how it works:

You reblog this or email/Facebook me
I’ll arrange for you to pick up a template
You’ll fill it out
I will create a TrueType font from your handwriting and send it to you

As I collect handwriting, I will periodically post things rendered in the handwriting of the donor - things they have taught me, important aspects of our relationship, jokes they have told me… we’ll see.
Please donate today.

I just want you to be happy

——————————————————————————————————-

“everytime i talk to you

i have a smile on my face

you had the faith in me that i would get into school

and i did

you kept me upbeat

you have a whole part of yourself in me now”

——————————————————————————————————-

so does this mean there is someone else?
do you really want to leave me?
everything we talk about, all the things you’ve said, was it real?
or were you just trying to make yourself settle with me?

i’m worried about you, but you have to be reasonable.
there will be time where we can’t constantly be right next to each other,
and i thought that we were doing better and making it through that.
but what happened?

tonight you just snapped on me.
we said we were going to not do this anymore.
we were going to stop fighting and we would be happy.
then out of nowhere something happened and you went off.
you began to twist the things i said so that they seemed bad.
you basically started to make threats,
and it was as though you didn’t want to be with me anymore.

it felt like someone stuck a dagger into my heart.
again and again.
the tears began to pour out like streams,
as the argument went on.

finally i did not know what else to do or say,
you had twisted everything.
i’m so scared that i’m going to lose,
i’m laying here in bed, at 2:30 AM, after i said we should sleep,
writing this as the tears continue down my face.

i’m sorry for whatever i did.
and i’m sorry that i can’t be there every waking moment.
but i promise you that the time for that will come,
and we’ll be together every single day,
if you can just hold on and not let go.

i really do love you,
with all of my heart and soul.
i hope that you’ll realize that soon.
you are everything to me and that is why school is important,
because i want to be able to give you everything you’ve ever dreamed of.

so if you can just make it through with a little while longer,
then i promise you everything will be better.

if not, and you really want to go,
if you really don’t love me anymore,
then i guess i’ll have to let,
because more than anything i want you to be happy.
and if that means you have to go,
then i’ll have to let you,
in hope that you’ll come back to me.

“If you love someone, let them go. If they return to you, it was meant to be. If they don’t, their love was never yours to begin with…”

so if that’s what will make you happy,
then i’m not sure i can stop you.
but i want you to remember that no matter what,
no matter what happens,
my heart is completely and utterly yours.
forever and always,
for all of eternity.

i love you Kelsey McLain O’Conner and i want you to be happy.
muah.
