Old Ideas Don't Stop Giving

I'm pretty sure I recently touched on how awesome it was that even what 4 or 5 years later, I still learn more about characters I've created.  I just started with a pose/expression in mind, and I ended up drawing an old character(Bec) with a new detail in design and personal history.

So for whatever rhyme or reason I thought of my Yeti Language for "The Visceroth Cluster" setting(I think it was because I was thinking about how to "explain" words with the advantage of language), and I realized how to structure a lot of the words and concepts.

See it uses a variety of verbs, which can be conjugated into nouns- okay here's an example

Garuten - to write(infinitive)
Garutenur - wrote(past tense)
Garutenrir - writing(-tenrir is to express a gerund)
Garudan - words(-dan is what is accomplished with the verb - build to buildings)
Garudos - letters(-dos is what is used to accomplish the verb - build to... building tools)
Garutar - one who writes(-tar is the accomplisher of the verb - build to builder)

The language also uses a variety of particles to connect nouns and verbs, expressing possession, an indirect object, a direct object, and other relationships between words. Apparently these are a few-

kur - direct object particle(the following word is the direct object of the previous word)
wur - in(to express the first noun being within the second noun)
pur - to(such as "going from here to there", or "from this to that")
sur - possessive particle(the following word is possessed by the previous word)
tur - directive particle(for or "for the purpose of")
ti - ?bridging particle(used to establish a subject noun(which will precede it))

I constructed some sentences to try out the language, so here-

Irunos made structures for Gunkoreth.
Full: Irunos ti nustenur kur reldos tur Gunkoreth.
Common: Irunos nustenur reldos tur Gunkoreth.

Okay so I wrote a bunch more sentences but I didn't write their English translations and I'm not up to translating all that right meow.
TL;DR: I came up with more stuff for a made up language yay

Late-Night Thoughts and Reflection

So it's more of a late-night thought-storm on reflection, but it's doubly applicable in that I often reflect as I lie awake at night.  Usually I go over my day it seems, figuring out if I feel right about the actions I took and didn't take, and how I resolved anything that day.  If something doesn't feel right with me, I'll try to determine what bothers me about it, and what I can do about it to change that.  If I did something wrong I decide not only to apologize but how and why.  I also think about where I'm at in my life in a more general sense, and I suppose see how okay with it I am.

Growing up, people often used to tell me I was pretty smart, and since I really enjoyed learning about everything around me, I suppose it made sense.  Even growing up, there was always a part of me that struggled with being identified strongly as intelligent, since I felt like it was all others defined me by.  I did well by all testing standards, and entered college just as I thought I always would.  Here, is where I started to struggle with myself.  Nothing seemed right for a degree, no program really felt like it was my calling, I couldn't choose.  So I did nothing.

Okay well maybe not nothing, but I dropped out, and just focused on working, and... life, I guess.  The idea of going to college and getting a career being a doctor or a scientist or a linguist was something I had always felt was inherent in myself.  It was then, not even a full year through school, that I understood that I would not be going through college(at least not then).  I wanted to just... be a person...?  It's hard to explain, because it's not with any sentiment towards going to college or not, but I knew that there was a lot of life I didn't understand, and that all choices lead to other new ones, and new discoveries.

I chose to discover what it was like to not go to college, to challenge myself to discover who I am outside of who I thought I was.  It's been a long 7 years in the service industry, often making close to minimum wage.  I've been a manager, I've cashiered, cooked, served, and bartended. I still do.  Sometimes, when I think about the close friends I have who graduated with me, the three of them all have gone on to do amazing things, and I am immensely proud of them.  It can be difficult not to want to compare my "achievements" to theirs and not feel down on myself.

I look back on my life, and I truly think about the people I've met, the lives I've been a part of, and the impact of my life and actions, I come to see some important things.

I have become the person I am today by being the person I was yesterday.  My choices and actions have always been my own to make and I have understood the responsibility of that knowledge.  I do my best to be an understanding person, and be respectful and positive towards others.  I think of how others will feel, and try to understand how something might look from their perspective.  Everyday, in the hopes of being a good person, I try to be a better person.  I don't always get it right, but if you know me, you'll know that I'm stubborn, and I'm not want to quit for nigh anything.
