searching for the right word

have you ever filled a glass to almost overflowing?

you know, where you fill it to the point that the liquid is above the actual rim of the glass.

it looks like it is going to spill over.

but it doesn't.

somehow that little bubble just hangs above the rim.

like some magical force keeps it contained.



i'm searching for the right word,

this feeling of my past few days.

melancholy?

at least I think that is the word I feel.

i'm going to check.

yes, a dictionary confirmed it.

melancholy is the perfect word.

if you only think you know it's definition, it is worth looking up.
it might come in handy one day.

is this too personal?
probably.

is this my blog?
absolutely.
and there are many reasons why i post.

i'm going to pour myself a glass of water and watch that suspended bubble of liquid.
