a noncomprehensive list of words I really enjoy

• parenthetical (specifically the noun)

• a word for something I use so frequently and want to reference so frequently yet only found the language for recently
• should be more widely used

• vestige

• vaguely reminiscent of the feeling of nostalgia, but only with other humans, not memories/the past broadly
• I love thinking about biological vestiges as little "hey, you! I was here! and now you are too! ain't that neat?" messages from evolutionary ancestors. it reassures me a bit, how even when we're long gone and no one is there to remember you, or anyone you knew, or anyone who knew them, or your species as a whole, since the effects of our lives on the universe cannot be undone, we're not truly forgotten (at least not for a virtually infinite sum of time, but I can't comprehend infinity, so I'm going to stick to my "we increase the entropy of the universe and absorb and exert energy, so therefore, however small, the memory of humanity will never be lost" philosophy)

• wiles
