A week ago, after started writing in Dutch, I noticed that my handwriting had changed. It wasn’t something I did consciously, but when I looked at my notebook, realized it wasn’t my usual writing. I mean, I thought it was just a mistake, but now, every time I write, my handwriting changes even more. It gets rounder, more slanted, more like someone else’s, someone who isn’t me. Writing dutch has become a strange experience, as if another person is somehow leaving me messages I don’t necessarily understand.
