Hey, I've been wanting to get a tattoo, for the purpose of reminding myself to breathe. Panic disorder, energy conservation, anxiety, ADD, whatever it is at the moment, I find myself not taking enough deep breaths. I want to have a reminder to breathe, and I figure a tattoo will do as good a job of reminding me as anything.
I have delved deep into Parf Edhellen to find as many ways to translate this idea, and these are the phrases (Quenya) that I have created.
Breathe with more breaths!
á súyanë assúyanië
I breathe
Súyan
Do breathe!
alye súya
Breathe!
á súya
I really should educate myself and just sit down and learn Elvish. I just wish I could learn it in a classroom. Language learning is an interactive process for me, and without connecting everything I learn with something else in my brain, the information has no roots and simply gets washed away by the tide of stimuli.
I think "á súya" is going to be my go-to for this. I'll use the Tengwar from the Lord of the Rings appendix to put it into Elvish script, and I'll be all set, right?
