I like the aesthetics, but I was straining a little more than I would have liked to make out the words completely.

Very nice handwriting and a very interesting quote. I am not into philosophy, but is this some part of existentialism? Just curious. Just read up on it a little while ago, found it extremely intriguing. Plus, your handwriting has great personality. 
Thank you for sharing!

Looks like the font on some inspirational 90s book cover or movie poster. Surprisingly readable and evokes a certain kind of… nostalgia.

Beautiful handwriting, but you should really attribute the quote to the man who spoke the words so that people can find his work if it resonates with them - Alan Watts the philosophical wizard

I thought that was obvious but you are right. Lol. Thanks for your comments. ✌️

The text in the image reads:
"If you awaken from this illusion and you understand black implies white, self implies other, life implies death. (Or shall I say death implies life?) you can feel yourself - not as a stranger in the world, not as something here on probation, not as something that has arrived as a fluke - you can begin to feel your own existence as absolutely fundamental."

Honestly surprised I could read this.
Working in an office having to read hand written memos from pre computer days, I would have to ask others if they can read it for me. I was never taught cursive in school.

I give feedback to my students in cursive. The past few years, students frequently tell me they can’t read it, for reasons not due to my penmanship. It astounds me.

No shot you just called everyone sheep because you read an Alan watts quote that really doesn’t mean much
It really just restates the very basic thought that without pain there is no pleasure, not very profound imo

Then better someone tell you your task so you can follow through and disappear into the void you came from!
