Me too! Someday I will have a conlang that I make that I'm fluent in. Someday....

Hehe... really? Fun.
I think I just mentioned why I conlang, but not how I started. Actually, I
started because of codes. Sound weird? Yeah, it's a bit weird, but I used to
love making different types of codes (I still make them, sometimes). And
sometimes I would mix different words from different codes together in a
sentence. My favorite codes were ones that I could think of ways to actually
say the words, which is why I almost always coded vowels with vowels, and
consonants with consonants.
My first attempt at a conlang was inspired when I learned about the Korean
alphabet (I didn't even know I was "conlanging"; I'd never heard of it). It was
really clumsily started, so I didn't get real far on it. Oh well.
