Synesthesia (si-nuh-stee-zhuh) – A neurological phenomenon where the senses cross-wire in beautiful ways. Letters and words triggering colors is one of the most common forms, which is called grapheme-color synesthesia. But it can extend to textures, tastes, even spatial arrangements. Some people experience music as color. Others taste shapes. Poets and artists seem to have it at higher rates than the general population, which makes a certain intuitive sense. It suggests a mind where the boundaries between things are more permeable than usual. What are your thoughts? Do you experience synesthesia?

Saudade (sow-DAH-day) - A Portuguese word which describes a deep, bittersweet emotional state of longing for something or someone beloved that is distant, lost, or perhaps never truly possessed. It's accompanied by the knowledge that what is longed for may never return, and yet finding a strange, melancholy beauty in the feeling itself. It is grief that has made peace with itself, but not quite let go. This resonates deeply with me. What are your thoughts?

Solivagant - wandering alone, or a person who does so. It comes from the Latin solus (alone) and vagans (wandering, roaming). There's something beautiful about the fact that this specific experience of solitary wandering, not lonely but intentionally alone in motion, warranted its own word. It implies a kind of quiet purpose to it, a chosen aloneness rather than an imposed one.

One step at a time.

One of the things depression does best is convince us that we need to solve everything at once.

We think about next week.

Next month.

Next year.

All the things that could go wrong.

All the things we haven't accomplished yet.

All the ways our life isn't where we want it to be.

And eventually the weight of it all becomes overwhelming.

But life is rarely lived all at once.

It's lived one day at a time.

One conversation at a time.

One decision at a time.

One step at a time.

You don't need to figure out the rest of your life today.

You just need to make it through today.

And sometimes that's more than enough.

What's one small thing you're grateful for today?

Also, if you're going through a tough time right now, I want you to know that I post daily mental health videos about how to deal with painful thoughts.
