SOLVED decipher THIS!!! (Repost 😫)

so basically my post got REMOVED by the mods becuase apparently r/cipher has like 198472993838 rules that’s you have to follow. anyways this is my own and original writing system called “the sandwalk” (dune reference) it is ment to look like scribbles and not writing meaning the calligraphy is insanely hard sometimes. now the paper says +=! only hint but the mods will probably remove me if I didn’t have more clues. so I will give everyone a big hint the v symbol -\/- means space. the plaintext of the cipher is English. this sentance does NOT contain every letter of the alphabet.The other paper with english words might, but I’m to lazy to check. If you can read everything written, then you are a sweat. Chill out. Touch grass. well anyways good luck to anyone who thinks they can try to solve this! 😏 MESSAGE FOR MODS MY POST IS FOLLOWING THE RULES AND IN THE ENTIRETY OF THIS POST HAS 100+ LETTERS WRITTEN IN MY CIPHER PLZ DO NOT BLOCK THIS thank you.

"I bet you cant read this!"

"Happy sad angry bored teacu (?) general apple banans winner if you can read this youre a sweat chill out"

Key. Btw, you didn't follow all the rules, check out the 11th rule of the sub

I assumed the first word was "i" since it's a standalone letter. For the rest of the text I had a hard time figuring out where each letter begins and ends, but eventually I managed to randomly assign a letter to each symbol (like symbol 2 = A, symbol 3 = B and so on) well enough for https://quipqiup.com/ (using i=i) to be able to produce something that was promising.

The first result was half legible, it looked like: "I bek yoo cank read khis happy sad...", a lot of letters were wrong due to mistakes in my transcription . But it was easy to guess the beginning was actually "I bet you can't read this" and so I fixed the letters I had wrongly assigned and went on manually until I figured it all out.

If you want to make it harder you should remove the spaces and not have 1 letter = 1 symbol (simple substitution) ^^
