Hey readers! Like most of my posts, this is super random and nobody really cares, but I'm writing about it anyway. These are just some words that I like, either because they are fun to say, or because I like what they mean. Usually, it's a combination of both.
Galivant-- to go around from one place to another in pursuit of pleasure or entertainment
Eccentric-- Unconventional and/or slightly strange
Traverse-- travel across or through
Inconspicuous-- not clearly visible or attracting attention
Snuff-- extinguish

Until Next Time!

Hey, kamama! I liked the post! Here are couple random words I like:
Whimsy: there's a book my church group is going through called Love Does, which talks about the word whimsy a lot, and it is a way to describe wonder, awe, childlikeness, etc. That's why I like it.
Wistful: Okay, maybe it's also the W words. But I love how this describes longing, and it's such an interesting description
