Selling Out?

I love words. They are actually one of my most favorite things ever. And I've gotten in the habit of picking a word, usually just one, that describes a period of time in my life. I imagine I'm writing an autobiography and then pick a word for the title of each chapter. When the word no longer applies, i know I've started a new chapter.

From summer 2007 until now, that word was dissonance. That was a particularly long period of time to have just one word, so the chapters would have been Dissonance I, Dissonance II, etc. The word itself sounds really cool when you say it and for me just meant that nothing in my life was in any kind of harmony. This is not necessarily a bad thing. I kind of assumed it was because things were changing and I was moving from one phase of my life into another.

Sometime around the first of this year, my word changed. I don't know why. Sometimes it just does that. It's now acquiesces. I'm just getting used to it so I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not. Does it mean I'm giving in an accepting the dissonance? I have no clue but there is it.

I acquiesce.
