I don't recall any point in time where I had any interest in fountain pens. I was born well after the time of the fountain pen, and there weren't any relatives in my family that had any special attachments to fountain pens.

55 here and also started last fall, though I had a calligraphy set as a kid. My executive dysfunction and poor memory won’t let me keep up with a journal. I usually forget to journal for a couple of days, then my brain says “if you didn’t do it for two days, why bother doing it today?” A couple of years later, I have another pretty notebook with three pages of writing.
