How Things Work@thishowthingswork Some feelings are so specific that they seem impossible to explain until you discover there is actually a word for them Language has a strange way of making emotions feel more understandable. A single term can describe nostalgia, longing, discomfort, vulnerability, or a moment that once felt too complicated to put into words Sometimes learning the name of a feeling does not change the experience itself, but it can make it feel a little more familiar and easier to recognize in everyday life

@kj_tyler_evans Déjà vu is not a premonition. A premonition is dreaming about something and then it happens. Deja Vu is experiencing something that feels like you’ve done it before but cannot place.
