I was taught cursive when all kids were still being taught it, and I also switched back to block letters when we all stopped using paper. The act of writing cursive is so fluid, like written parkour, that I think when we finally master it, it bonds with the flow of our thoughts. When I write in block letters I get impatient and frustrated; my thinking writing energy is scraped out in chunks. It's like violence against the wrists. I never feel like I'm writing down my thoughts, and I can almost sense my train of thought disappearing while I'm still capturing the earlies pieces of it. Cursive lets that energy flow continuously, guided into shapes rather than forced.
