404 Mauerbauertraurigkeit

Mauerbauertraurigkeit n. the inexplicable urge to push people away, even close friends who you really like—as if all your social tastebuds suddenly went numb, leaving you unable to distinguish cheap politeness from the taste of genuine affection, unable to recognize its rich and ambiguous flavors, its long and delicate maturation, or the simple fact that each tasting is double-blind. (The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrow)

A lot of things today but the one that made the most impression was having Joseph Gorden-Levitt share my picture (tookapic.com/photos/491597) on his twitter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean, it's JGL y'all!!!! Lol, I love that guy. The feeling is similar to finally being noticed by your crush. haha Really. I'm in awe with that guy.

Anyways, catch up with you tomorrow because today is a lot of things. I'm so lazy this week. No amount of coffee can get rid of this unmotivated lethargic trance. It's so draining.

These emotions happen so I'm giving myself time and space to cope. I think self-empathy is just as important.

Urszula Stachowicz Congrats, Katrina! Whole world should see your works. :)
I know that feeling from both sides. It looks exactly how you pictured it. Just want to crawl somewhere and not to talk to anybody.

But I definitely won't be able to remember this word. Not to mention pronunciation. :P
