Calligraphy tools in the drawer: A post-hype observation
A while ago, calligraphy was huge on social media, and I got into it with fancy pens and ink. Now, the buzz is gone, and my supplies sit quietly unless I pull them out for a project. In my friends group, I see two paths: some still practice and find peace in it, while others tossed their kits after the trend passed. One side says viral moments are great for sparking new interests and bringing people together. The other side feels it pushes quick, surface-level fun that doesn't last. Personally, I stuck with it, but I miss the shared excitement from back then. How do you think these internet crazes affect hobbies once the spotlight moves on?

My calligraphy set gathers dust too, but I still find quiet joy in it.

Saturday mornings, I dust off my set for fifteen minutes of peace.

My own set is basically a dust farm, but like quinn_ellis85 said, the real stuff sticks around.
