Lately I have been doing this thing I call my word of the day. It's a simple daily task that keeps my creative juices flowing. I find comfort in collecting random words, then finding a way to make meaning of them and applying them to my vocabulary in the most unexpected ways. Sometimes they make no sense, I may make up words like Nexterday. It may have no meaning or it may have unlimited meaning. The more I think about it, the more I realize words have always been a part of how I understand the world.

Maybe that's why words bring me so much comfort, they mean what you make of them. I find words to be the most powerful form of expression. Finding bliss in human emotion and being lucky enough to find that there are words to directly express whatever it is that you may be feeling. 

I use words as my outlet, as my way to identify the fluttering that takes place in my head, yet finding comfort in the words I make of it. That is why I am so thankful I have found this outlet that allows me to freely express who I am as an individual and share how I am uniquely myself. 

Having a word of the day always keeps me on my toes, and always keeps me searching for deeper meanings in things we say to one another in passing. There is always something to learn, there is always something to teach, and there is always something to take. Maybe you use this as your small reminder to find meaning in the words that surround us, whether you believe them or not. I guess that's what keeps me coming back to it. There is always more meaning waiting to be found.
