How do you even write in circular gallifreyan? I tried to learn but i don't understand
Here’s my go for a Sherman’s Gallifreyan guide:
You start with drawing a circle:
Then you will look from the chart below (It only has consonants I’ll explain how vowels work soon) what kind of circle represents the letter you want to write.

Consonants take one of four forms and have dots, lines or neither. So if you want to write J it’s only one floating circle, K is the same kind of circle but with two dots and S is a half of circle with three lines. There is no C so you must write S or K instead depending on the sound.
For example the letter H looks like that ↑. The yellow part is the circle and two lines for H and the white circle is the word circle. The lines can go anywhere and if there are more letters that have lines they can also share lines.
Vowels are much smaller circles than consonants. They are usually attached to the preceding consonant, but they can also float on their own.

Those small circles which I have painted red and blue are the vowels.The photo shows where do they attach to different consonants (red circles) and how do they work on their own (blue circles).
I have added I to go with the H so that they form the word Hi
Here is the same word, but the letters are now seperatery and H shares one line with I. Both ways are correct. A vowel must stand on its own only when it has no consonant to attach to (a word starts with a vowel or you have two vowels in a row). Double letters are denoted by double circles. Words are read and written anticlocwise starting from the bottom.
Sentences are contained within two circles. The outer circle is to just to contain the sentence and the inner circle has punctuations. To fill empty space the inner circle also has those half circles which I have painted greeen in the photo below. They have no true meaning and they are done simply for style.
“Empress of Mars”I have marked the reading order with numbers. Just like a word, you read them starting from the bottom and then proceeding around anticlockwise. So you start the reading from the bottom with E. Number two is M, three is P, four is R, five is E and six a double letter SS. Then you move on to the next word. As you can see the consonants share some lines so it doesn’t look messy.
Punctuation are added along the edge of the inner sentence circle.For example dot is a small circle in the inner circle and apostrophe has two lines that go from the inner circle to the word circle.
“The idiot’s lantern” The apostrophe is coloured yellow.
Since I write Circular Gallifreyan very often I have made a photoshop document which has the charts and some frequently used words
(“muista” is Finnish for “remember” if you wondered. It’s to remind me about those lines)
The hardest thing about writing Circular Gallifreyan is making it look good and getting all the letters to fit nicely. I usually leave the other halves of half circles till I have the whole text done and then erase then.
This is a screenshot I took while doing the all things end -quote. At that time it didn’t even have all of the circles so you can believe it’s hard to remember which ones to erase.
That’s the finished quote ↑. It has several sentences and they are placed the same way as words to sentences and letters to words.
That’s the basics of it. I hope this clears things up for you. If not then just ask more. I’m bad at explaining things so I hope this is not too confusing.

Winning? Is that what you think it’s about? I’m not trying to win. I’m not doing this because I want to beat someone, or because I hate someone, or because I want to blame someone. It’s not because it’s fun. God knows it’s not because it’s easy. It’s not even because it works because it hardly ever does. I do what I do because it’s right! Because it’s decent! And above all, it’s kind. It’s just that. Just kind. If I run away today, good people will die. If I stand and fight, some of them might live. Maybe not many, maybe not for long. Hey, you know, maybe there’s no point in any of this at all, but it’s the best I can do. So I’m going to do it. And I will stand here, doing it, till it kills me. You’re going to die too. Someday. How will that be? Have you thought about it? What would you die for? Who I am is where I stand. Where I stand is where I fall. Stand with me. These people are terrified. Maybe we can help a little. Why not, just at the end, just be kind?

When I’m under the weather or in need of cheering up, I often turn to Friends to make me laugh and for the reassuring comfort of familiarity. But it’s not just TV: books can play a comforting role in our lives, too. We re-read Pride and Prejudice when someone breaks our heart to reassure ourselves that are still good people out there. Or we laugh along with our favourite humorous writers, like Bill Bryson navigating the subtle complexities of British culture. Or we turn to Cheryl Strayed or Gretchen Rubin for inspiration, pep talks, and practical tips on finding happiness. Here are some recommendations from Book Riot contributors for some good comfort reads.
