"Instead of だ"? That the Japanese use だ so often as a sentence-ender is a North American myth. Native speakers don't do it.

What does や do in this case? Also, thanks for correcting me, mistakes are one of the best ways to learn .

That is writing in Japanese.

Ok. I suppose those quadrates (that's what I see) was letters but Japanese letters?!

Not diamonds but really somethnig like cube or quadrate but it doesn't matter, it's the letter/font thing and as for context nothing else unfortunately cause i still don't understand what he wanted to say . . .. but tnx

To help you understand how it's conjugated, I'll break it up into parts. 信じる here is in it's ーて form. In this case, the verb was conjugated as ーている. ーている　was then conjugated with the ～たい verb ending which means to want the action or want to perform the action.
Example: 行く（いく）iku (Go/to go)　行きたい（いきたい）ikitai (Want to go).

After that, I'm not by any means certain, but my hunch is that the speaker wasn't speaking in the tokyo dialect because they used や instead of だ (This is just a guess, but I'm pretty confident in my guess otherwise I wouldn't hazard my opinion. Still, take it with a grain of salt). I'm not really confident enough in its usage to discuss how the ～ている form works, but I hope you can see how the verb was constructed, at least.

Ok, Thanks!
