It only takes a generation for a word to take on a whole new meaning. Think of “gay”, “to know” “sweet” to name a few. As we evolve, I’m guessing the evolution of terms will only speed up.

Often enough, I have mental states which are very hard or impossible to describe– they aren’t pathological and I’m pretty good with words.
