the feeling you get when you smell rain·
the word for being happy for a stranger·
that thing when you remember something at the wrong time·
the fear of long words — yes, the ironic one·
cozy inside while it's raining outside·
the urge to squeeze something cute·
the smell of old books·
nostalgia for a time you never lived in·
the itch to start over on a blank page·
when you're tired but not sleepy·

I typed "being happy for someone else's success" and it gave me "compersion" in 1.4 seconds. Changed how I talk about literally everything.

Said "the stringy bits on bananas" and it immediately came back with "phloem bundles". How. HOW.

Typed "sad but it feels good" — it gave me "bittersweet", "mono no aware", and "lacrimosa". I didn't know I needed all three until that moment.

I can now explain exactly why I hate Mondays with the word "dysania". 10/10, no notes.

It knew "petrichor" from "that rain smell". Google just tries to sell me candles.
