A Calligraphy Tribute to Felicity

Oh, Felicity. I remember being addicted to this college soap – with its hopeless romantic protagonist, New York City setting, and yes – art school. Just recalling the show gives me this sense of nostalgia that’s not too easy to brush off. As Felicity was painting for her art classes, I was also spending sleepless nights trying to get by on my own art projects. However, I didn’t live in a huge dorm room in NY, or worked at a cool coffee shop. I couldn’t paint with an easel. Unlike Felicity, I paint on the floor.

Felicity at the time, became a template for those college drama queens. It was tailor-made for girls my age. Remember those movies or TV shows when you feel that everything the characters say just totally relates to how you feel? It was all that. See, Felicity Porter ditched Stanford University to go after her high school crush, Ben Covington. I cannot imagine doing such a horrible thing. He didn’t even knew she existed. And bam! In college they suddenly become close friends, even though Felicity was obviously obsessing over him – in a super weird way, mind you. What makes it even better (or worse, I can’t tell) is they actually fall in love. Yep. They did.

Gosh, I loved that show.

As a tribute to one of my favorite shows of all time, I wrote quotes for my calligraphy practice. It does feel good, reminiscing about how hooked I was back then… when little squabbles with girlfriends were already a big deal, and hanging out with friends was an essential part of our existence. Life was more laid back, time just seemed to move a little slower. Oh, and it was also like, a time when we like, talk this way for like, forever. But seriously? Those were pretty good times.
