This has always been a favorite question.
Mostly because theres an inner child inside, giggling at the irony of the story.
My favorite word is: melancholy
It feels oxymoronic to say… how could such a bitter sweet word be a favorite word?
Because of Winn-Dixie, of course. (hehehe)
No seriously though, do you remember the book Because of Winn-Dixie?
Probably not. (Shoutout Mrs. Blair)
It was a child’s book, and then a movie. I had read it in the third grade, and it was
the first time I had EVER heard such a delicious word.
(I felt just as strongly then, as I do now)
I hadn’t a clue why I liked it so much, and it had seemed to have no meaning to my classmates. Something about that made it even more special.
As time went on, I realized I NEVER heard that word used.
I tried to use it all the time.
It is a poetic word.
