Is it just me, or does it almost feel like words have personalities? Lol.

Not literally, obviously. But for me, it feels almost like certain words carry different personalities or evoke different emotions.

For instance, words like crack, grunt, ugly, break, garbage, etc. just feel dirty or ugly. But words like pretty, soft, lovely, lullaby, sensuous, passion, almost feel soft or soothing.

I’m not sure if it’s vowel/consonant placement or if it’s just our minds trained to go off of the meaning of the word. But I can’t help but notice when I’m writing that particular words make me feel a certain way.

So is it just me? I can’t be alone in this… Right?? Lol.
