nodus tollens: the feeling that the plot of your life doesn‘t make sense to you anymore.

Nearly five years gone,
the merry-go-round from hell
still won‘t stop spinning.

Dunno about you all but it feels like my life crashed & burned right around the time the pandemic started. I feel like I‘ve been living in a Twilight Zone episode ever since!

plata rasa
n. the lulling sound of a running dishwasher, whose steady maternal shushing somehow puts you completely at peace with not having circumnavigated anything solo.

Steamy soap-scented
air wafts through the kitchen with
a whir and a hum.

jouska:
n. a hypothetical conversation that you compulsively play out in your head—a crisp analysis, a devastating comeback, a cathartic heart-to-heart—which serves as a kind of psychological batting cage that feels far more satisfying than the small-ball strategies of everyday life.

Dunno about you guys but I always have these convos in the shower - plan out the perfect argument & what I should have said.

dabbe W🤩WZA. You've hit on yet another major human condition. I usually have these convos when I'm driving by myself in the car. 🖤🐝🖤 7d

looseleft:
adj. feeling a sense of loss upon finishing a good book, sensing the weight of the back cover locking away the lives of characters you‘ve gotten to know so well.

My ode to a book hangover — who knew there was an actual word for this? So cool. (Nothing makes me feel a book hangover more than when I finish my Harry Potter reread every year or two!)

Take me back to that
magical world within your
pages — I‘m adrift.

énouement: the bittersweetness of having arrived here in the future, seeing how things turn out, but unable to tell your past self.

I‘m coming at this perspective wishing I could tell this to my younger self.

You won‘t hear me, but
they don‘t love you. And you are
so much more than them.

occhiolism: the awareness of how fundamentally limited your senses are—noticing how little of your field of vision is ever in focus, how few colors you‘re able to see, how few sounds you‘re able to hear, how intrusively your brain fills in the blanks with its own cartoonish extrapolations—which makes you wish you could experience the whole of reality instead of only ever catching a tiny glimpse of it, to just once step back from the keyhole…

JenlovesJT47 @dabbe I wrote this about 10 minutes before your comment on my other post. Thought it goes along nicely with what you said. 💛🖤💛 1w

Today‘s word is onism.

Onism: the frustration of being stuck in just one body, that inhabits only one place at a time.

My mind floats away
but my body can‘t escape.
I‘m trapped here with you.

#haikuhive #haikuaday #poetry #DOOS

dabbe I have this feeling a lot! Thanks for expressing it so lovingly. How many times I wish my mind could just go out there and see the entire universe up close before I die, but NOPE! I'm trapped in this body. 😱 🖤🐝🖤 1w
JenlovesJT47 @dabbe that‘s funny, I just wrote another one for another word from this book that sums up what you just said nicely, will post it in a bit! 💛🖤💛🫂 1w

It‘s Friday so why not do 2 words today? 😆

“scabulous
adj. proud of a certain scar on your body, which is like an autograph signed to you by a world grateful for your continued willingness to play with her, even if it hurts.
From scab + fabulous.”

Referring to scars on my back from a car accident*

Worn like a badge, these
stripes are a reminder of
the strength I possess.

Today‘s word is trumspringa: the longing to wander off your career track in pursuit of a simple life — tending a small farm in a forest clearing, keeping a lighthouse on a secluded atoll, or becoming a shepherd in the mountains — which is just the kind of hypnotic diversion that allows your thoughts to make a break for it & wander back to their cubicles in the city.

Oh would that I could
stash myself away in a
cottage full of books.

Today‘s word is chrysalism.

Chrysalism: the amniotic tranquility of being indoors during a thunderstorm.

Mesmerized by each
drop, warmth steals over me as
the storm rages on.
