Do you have kids?
I used to feel that way - even the Japanese high school I spent time in allowed me to turn in things types out instead of handwritten...
And then I got married and had a kid.
Believe me, the thousands and thousands of things I have had to write (by hand, of course) since sending my son to school changed my feelings on that very quickly. Add that to the countless other things I`ve had to write and fill out because he has a disability...
It`s definitely a weakness.


If anyone is trying to find me… Tamyuun on Instagram is probably the easiest.
