what most don't see - hidden talents

Some people in my life might think I'm lazy or that I'm not talented in anything considered decent, but that's because they don't see what I actually do and like to do.

Although I do like using my pc a lot, that doesn't mean it's wasted time. For example, I recently downloaded a program called Trilium Notes and I'm enjoying exploring  a new type of wiki like program to organise all my knowledge (or most of it).

There's a bunch of stuff you can do on it and the other week and this one, I spent some time learning how to use a mermaid diagram, a little flowchart for a family tree. It's not perfect and there are things that I can't connect like in a family tree, but learning next syntax was interesting. (＾▽＾)

Basically, it works like this:

A-->B

B-->C

C-->D

To state that it is a flowchart and what direction it is, you use:

flowchart TD (in my case, TD is Top Down, or Top to Bottom)

Use %% for inside notes, like this:

%% This section is for Gen1 %%

Usually you label the items with a tag, then use () or [] to put names and titles and such. The rounded ones will give you a rectangle with rounded corners and the other a rectangle with sharp corners.

So, a little example:

%% Section 1 %%

A (Group Apple) --> Af (Apple fans)

B (Group Orange) --> Bf (Orange fans)

Af --> Mk (Market)

Bf --> Mk

Mk --> P (Profit) 

%% Section 2 %%

P --> Yay (Loads of Money)

There are other more complex ways of using it, but I'm still learning. You can even make sub charts within the flowchart; change the colour of the rectangle, use different lines; and even use Markdown language.

Cool right?

It might not be much to some people, but it means something to me.

I've also written, not only on my PC, but also in a small notebook. I consider myself a good writer, both in my language and in English. This blog may not be a masterpiece, I'm sure, but when I write a story or a poem, it's another thing entirely.

About drawing, well... I haven't drawn much, but recently I opened my sketchbook and made myself draw decent arms and hands. I'm quite surprised and proud of my fluidity.

I just wish the people in my life could see me with different eyes. (｡╯︵╰｡)
