Your Aesthetic Word
Dormiveglia
In Italian, dormiveglia means half asleep; it's that short period of time right before waking up. If you got this result, I feel like perhaps you're not too keen on belonging here. Is there a world you've created all by yourself, where you're happier? You’re a professional daydreamer, head full of fairytales and gaze deeper than the ocean. You’re probably into reading, into finding anything that would help your mind escape. You remind me so much of a cat sleeping on a windowsill, undisturbed. I hope you find your place in this world, too.

Tagging: You. You’re it.
Question 9 is an open-ended question, and my answer really ties into my quiz results. I wanted to add it here for my personal reasons.
There’s a numbing agent to stagnation that simultaneously soothes yet irritates. Have you ever looked at your life, wanted something different, but didn’t know what you want different, never mind how to make it happen? And it’s not like life is bad. Life is relatively good. In fact, things are better than they were. Yet the heart still pines for something or someone or…I don’t know. That’s the problem. Stagnation’s numbing agent doesn’t keep me from knowing I need something different but it keeps me from knowing how to accomplish it. But I will try to figure it out.

People aren't homes, they never will be. People are rivers, always changing, forever flowing. They will disappear with everything you put inside them.
