Firefull

/ˈfī(ə)r//fo͝ol/

the feeling one gets when their emotions brew beneath their skin yet they stand proudly and boldly, unfazed and cold, while a fire stirs deep inside their veins, threatening to grace their fingers and light the world on fire. It’s dangerously powerful due to the relaxed nature of the bearer as they are in complete control, even if they feel as though the fire is consuming their insides, but in reality their soul is sparking to life triggered by the imbalance and unease the individual feels around them.

Ambulgality

Am - bull -gal - ity.

This is a word, sort of, I made up back in the late seventies.

It’s an emotion of sorts. It’s a crossover of ambiguity,

the quality of being open to more than

one interpretation; inexactness and ambul,

which is Latin meaning to walk,

to take steps, to go around.

Hence, when one is unsure of something,

Ambulgality means to skirt around an issue.

It can also mean confusion over a certain topic,

or even people for that matter.

I haven’t used this word around people in a long time.

Perhaps it may be I was unsure if anyone would understand

it if I used the word in a conversation.

Rather Ambulgatic, don’t you think?

Zoomaphobia

Zoomaphobia is the scary feeling that you feel

Whenever you turn the camera on.

Picture perfect

you just aren't.

Illuminating lights

that don't glow on you as you zoom in.

The weight reducing angles that make you look not so great.

I’m so afraid of zooming in,

I’d so much rather keep it off.

coss

You feel coss when you're outside without a jacket and the weather's changing EVERY 5 MINUTES, but somehow you're still totally comfortable. If you think you might've experienced it, 1. stop lying, 2. stop showing off, 3. okay, we get it, you're super tough and cool and don't need to carry a stupid extra jacket around, 4. c-can we g-go in-nside for a s-second?

In-dif-fer-ential

It describes the emotion of being undecided on different topics. It personifies ambiguity and portrays the actual value of two different things that are so similar it is hard to decide due to cause and effect and a person’s ability to generalize the future. It is indifferential.

murky decisions

inbetweenness

a conflict

where

you can't decide

whether

you want the

moment

you're in

to be over

or

to last

forever

where the present

is both

poisoned

and

promising

time melts away

and the feeling

is

gone
