Laconic: (adj.) expressing much in few words
About 11 times out of 10, this word cannot be used to describe me. I love words. I have a Pinterest board dedicated entirely to the most beautiful and obscure words I encounter. I inherited this passion for words from my grandfather, Pop-Pop. I have countless memories of him telling me stories of the origins of different words, and those stories always fascinated me. Pop-Pop sometimes would apologize for talking to me about words, but I would tell him that I love it.
There is something so special about having something to share with someone else. Special memories, jokes, admirations, knowledge– all these things play a part in giving life its vibrant colors. Words create colors in unimaginable hues. They bring definition to expression and experience.
One of my visions for this blog is to dedicate singular entries to any specific word. In a way, I suppose this is inspired by my Pop-Pop. Education is so important in life, and I think that is one of the reasons I created this blog. I am by no means a person who knows it all. I have almost nothing figured out. But what I can do is share what little wisdom I have gleaned from my life thus far.

You also got this love of words from your mother. I don’t know if she still does this but when she was reading a book she used to stop for every new word and look it up!

She probably doesn’t anymore because she knows so many words 😂
