Bloggers write a lot. They do. I myself do plenty of drafting, idea dumping, and touch typing. But how often do we think about writing? No, I don’t mean it in the matter of “good writing” and “boring writing”. I am talking about symbols.

Just consider for a second how many languages are out there. Some of them we don’t notice, because they are so native and natural that they are integrated into our minds. Others seem complex. Yet others we don’t even know about.

But the symbols are here. I want to say letter, but I can’t. Not every language even has a letter. Some use signs. Others, even more complex signs.

We do all these symbols come from? There are so many of them, that sometimes I think they are random. Or some of them at least. But that’s not necessarily true. Most probably, somebody somewhere thought out each of those symbols. One by one. Generation by generation. Then they proudly moved those symbols around, teaching them to others. And those others were making mistakes and misinterpretations. Their media wasn’t perfect. It caused its share of troubles.

But still. Just think about it. Every letter that you type, every letter that you don’t type - is a result of somebody’s work, somebody’s thinking process.

… why do I suddenly want to make my own letter? Maybe, because I want to leave a mark after me. Something, that a lot of people will be using. Caring though generations. And then, someone will think of me. Of my letter. Of my symbol. Or maybe I just want to use one symbol, but my own, instead of all those symbols that were thought out by other people, who I won’t ever know…

Back to typing loads of texts.
