\nA bit of new year atmosphere \ud83e\udde8 (Keep practicing!)<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve wanted to learn Chinese calligraphy for a long time, and I finally got the chance to start.
\nHonestly, I used to feel a bit shy about posting this here\u2014I didn\u2019t feel confident enough.<\/p>\n

But this time, I decided to just share it anyway.
\nI know there\u2019s still a lot, a lot of room to improve, and I\u2019m very much a beginner.
\nStill, I want to appreciate myself a little\u2014for starting, and for not giving up.<\/p>\n

With the Chinese New Year getting closer, practicing on red paper somehow makes the days feel more festive.
\nInk, paper, slowing down for a moment\u2026 it feels warm and quiet in a good way.<\/p>\n

\nCalligraphy is still a work in progress; I let my heart slow down first.
