Last week, I learned that the English language has more euphemisms for death than any other language. I learned that the ancient Greeks had no word for the colour blue and that the Hawain alphabet has only twelve letters. I spent last week hollowing out a little place in my heart and filling it with worry. What does that say about us? Do we really go out of our way to avoid death like that? How did the Greeks describe the sea? Are twelve letters really enough? Does every language have a word for love? Every language should have a word for love. And compassion. And gentleness. And figs and snow and that soft sensitive part on the inside of one’s arm. We should have words for everything so that we don’t feel alone. We need very very very specific words for all of the different kinds of sad and even more specific words for the kinds of happy. What if we were able to talk about everything? I want to tell you how I feel and I want to be precise. Sometimes ‘good’ just isn’t enough and few understand what I mean when I say that I feel ‘like lightning.’

But now I’m not so sure I believe in beginnings and endings. There are days that define your story beyond your life. Like the day they arrived.

“Every day I discover more and more beautiful things. It’s enough to drive one mad.

I have such a desire to do everything, my head is bursting with it.” ― Claude Monet

“Steve is unleashing himself from these guards’ grasp, from the constraints of his jacket, out of the jacket of the social system forced on him; out of the endless misfortunes. He starts running, with that smile — it is a way to say that there is a happy ending after all. Those characters in my movie are doomed; Steve might be better off dead than alive. But we know he is going to punch that glass! He will keep going.” - Xavier Dolan

I’m a cloud drifting by, dripping tears from the sky. I’m a snail without a shell, leper with a golden bell.

“This is what life looks like: people who love each other, a home. You should take a moment, feel it.”

So this is what it feels like.
