Senescence
I feel my brain deteriorating. Sometimes the words that I'm searching for seem to be so out of my recollection's reach that I'm afraid I might have lost them forever. Like last night when I was in the shower. I was looking for the word "excerpt" and I frightfully spent two agonizing minutes scouring my brain for it before I felt myself relaxed.
And then came the word "stingy".
"Someone who doesn't like spending money at all..." I murmured in my head. "What is it again.. Thrifty? Nah.. Somewhat related but not the word I'm looking for.. Hmmmm. Fuck. Is it... naze?"
I don't even know what a naze is. Now that I recall it, I must have resembled Gollum when he was figuring out those riddles Bilbo was telling him.
I hate aging. Is this because I'm getting older? Sometimes, it strikes me as alarming that I'd suddenly feel the urge to buy a bunch of chocolates and other sweets and be like L in "Death Note". Food for the brain, they say. The difference between us is that he's a genius whereas I'm only average. Some days, dumbarse.
But I might just be overthinking it and it's just another tip-of-the-tongue moment everybody else experiences. Although what makes me overthink is that it's happening more often now. Maybe because I've been writing more frequently these days? And I'm a tetralingual so I suppose I should be more prone to tip-of-the-tongue instances.. Hopefully that's it.
Anyway, I just browsed what naze is and it's basically a promontory or headland.
Yep.
Now I didn't know squat about promontory nor headland so I had to look them up, too.
May God bless my mind.
