Gossamer

Today I wanted to write about something chill, so I'm going to tell you guys about my favorite word: gossamer. Gossamer is something that is like the lightest thread. Like a spiderweb or a fairy flittering touch that only just barely exists. I learned this word actually in 9th grade when I read a book called Gossamer for my Battle of the Books team (we lost, but that's ok, it was still fun).

I also like the word "dandy", because lets be honest, everyone should say dandy a little more! And it just sounds like a cool word.

And hypnogogia (that weird dreamish state between sleeping and waking) because that happens to me ALL THE TIME and then I have weird vivid dreams that I remember most of when I wake up. But then they start to fade. I think I saw a study once that said we remember our dreams in the first 10 minutes after waking up, but then they start to fade by a certain percentage every 10 minutes after that. I could certainly believe it.

Comment below if you want to tell me some of your favorite words!
