Internal Strength?

A few months ago I was diagnosed with tendonitis on my arms which resulted from overworking myself. My muscles have healed by now, but occasionally when I write too fast I can feel them straining.
This would suggest that I don't have enough muscle in my arms. And I believe this is true, as when I flex them there's not much to see.
But there's something I don't really understand.
I have a power of lifting things I would think impossible. I can carry people heavier than me, and carry many other things people deem heavy. Yes, it's true that I can't carry people around for too long, or my arms get tired rather easily, but how can I lift all these things in the first place?
I used to think my back was strong because of horse riding, but this idea slowly shifted:
could people have a mental strength that allows them to do things their body puts limits on? Can I carry these things only because I have the willpower to do so?
Then how strong is the spirit?

This reminds me of the Green Lantern comics. They have the cheesiest concepts, but one really impressed me. Green represents willpower. Blue represents hope. Blue lanterns are the most powerful lanterns, but they cannot access most of their powers unless they're in the presence of a green lantern. Because hope will not do anything without will.
This relates to my previous post as well.
Perhaps the power to do anything exists in us, but we only need to conjure the will to do something with it. And if we have enough, we can do anything, and everything that breaks the boundaries around us.

Inquiry no. 2

We have so much power. Society has so much power. Governments have so much power. We have so much power we're destroying the world with it.
If we have so much power, why is life this way?
Why must there be only two paths in life?
Why must we go to school?
Why must we get a job?
Why get married?
Why have a family?
Why put so much stress on teenagers during their 'best years of life'? 
Why is life this way?
We have enough power to change it.
But why don't we?

Lexicons and Languages

I've been up to a lot of stuff concerning languages, so I thought it'd be nice to blog about my 'adventures'.

I am greatly amused by 'fandom language', so I decided to share some of these words that one must know to survive on the Internet.

Firstly, a fandom is basically the group of fans of a certain TV show, comic book, novel, or really anything that someone can be a fan of (yes, sports included... I suppose...). I like to think that the word is a play on fan and kingdom, which would make sense because fandoms always tend to 'discuss' which is the better fandom.
On the modern Interweb, there are many websites where fans congregate to discuss...fandom things. You may run across comments like: 'OMG OTP' or 'SINK THAT SHIP!!' and end up very, very confused.
Here is a small dictionary.
The meanings for these are my interpretations so not all of these might be true!
Now for the words:

Canon — Not to be confused with cannon, canon means something that is true to and official in a story 

Fanon— An idea that is commonly accepted among fans, but is not canon.

Headcanon — An idea that is canon in the mind of one person. This may spread to the entire fandom, but it generally is small. For example, people have headcanon voices for characters in comics. 

Ship — Short for relationship, a ship is basically a pairing in a romantic relationship, which does not have to be canon. A canon ship is Ron and Hermione in the Harry Potter series. A not canon ship is Sherlock Holmes and John Watson.
OTP — Stands for 'One True Pairing', I'm not quite sure how this makes sense. If a ship is someone's OTP, it means that this couple is their favourite.
Pairing Name — a name put together using the names of characters in a ship, for example (I just made this one up) Gandriel for Gandalf and Galadriel
Genderswap/Rule 63 —Self-explanatory, when a character's gender is swapped.
Mary Sue — An exaggeratedly perfect character, generally representing the author (mostly in fanfiction, but can be seen in published books nowadays too).
AU — Stands for alternate universe, where the characters are placed into another context. Some examples are Space AUs, High School AUs, zombie apocalypse AUs, etc.
OC — original character
OOC — out of character, generally used when a roleplayer is speaking as themselves, but not the character they're roleplaying

I believe that's enough for now :)

Now more about languages.
I ran into a website that taught Japanese. I decided to give it learning it a try, because I was curious about Japanese after watching so many anime series. So I started teaching myself Japanese. I only got through a few lessons, but I can now talk about names, ask what something is, and tell someone that something is mine. It's quite fun but I don't have that much time to work on it, sadly. Here is a link for the website.

Also, since my comic takes place in space, this suggests that the inhabitants of the planet would have their own language. This is actually something that's been on my mind for a long time, and I've actually been thinking about words and grammar rules. So I'm slowly creating my own language, which will hopefully function well! I also have a bit of an alphabet worked out but I have like 5 letters in each sketchbook I own so I have to put them together. This is quite an interesting process! Maybe I should look into how Tolkien invented elvish...

Acceptance

Usually my mind is full of thoughts, and it feels like everything inside is pushing against my skull trying to overcome the equal pressure from the outside air. But sometimes, something clicks in my brain and the overworked machine shut down and rests in a confusing silence. Then, I start to observe. I look around. First, I hear the wind bellowing melodically. Then a bird sings (or it had been singing all along but I only listened now). I smell dust, but I also smell flowers. When I look up, my eyes are blinded by colours and details. Reds, and all shades of oranges on the trees and the withering grass. The crunching of leaves echoes in my mind. Autumn. Cold, smooth, eerie, terrifyingly beautiful. And in the summer, I see a glamorous mix of vibrant leaves glittering like emeralds and the pink bougainvilleas of Bodrum, and in the distance the sea is stretching far and only being separated from the setting sun and lingering fire by a line of land taken over by ugly construction, which at this time doesn't seem so ugly. Hot, sticky, sweaty, but also very calm. For a few minutes, I feel bigger than I am but also smaller than I am. My body is insignificant. But my soul stretches as far as the sea in Bodrum does. Far and deep, into the core of life and nature. I feel like a part of it. I feel woven in the thread of life. I feel alive. I feel holy. Yet this is always interrupted by an urban noise, be it the sliding of a door or the humanely obnoxious voice of a person, it is always interrupted.
