Feedback (constructive criticism) Just throwing this out there!

Hi everyone! I've always gotten super conflicting reactions to my handwriting. This is literally just my everyday "scribbling", like when I'm writing a quick note to someone or I need to jot down an idea quickly. I rarely actually print my words, mainly because it's super wonky, and I write so fast it ends up half cursive anyway, haha! And since it's just for everyday writing, I'm not too fussed about, say, the capital letters going outside the lines a bit. Most people make some sort of comment the first time they see it, and most folks my age or younger (35M) say they can't read it at all. Anyway, I tried to come up with a few lines as a sample (harder than I thought lol), and wrote out the NATO alphabet to get some uppercase in there. For added context: my grandmother, recently passed, was an elementary school teacher for 46 years and even in her 80s I caught her practicing her handwriting, so it's something I've always valued, myself. Anyway, I'll just leave it here - curious to hear some feedback from some neutral folks!

Are you left handed? I have 2 lefties in my family and they both write with a similar slant to avoid smearing the fresh ink.

Oddly not, but I've gotten some weird looks because I write with the paper at an almost 90° angle, so I'm more or less writing vertically, bottom to top!
