The State of Being Awesome

When I want to know the real meaning of a word, I head to urbandictionary.

While the first definition for awesome is 'a word American's use too much' I felt that was too broad. Americans use a lot of words too much, like love and thank you, and while that makes them seem less important, their denotation still resonate.

I think there are a couple different definitions for awesome which is okay because a lot of words have more than one meaning in the dictionary.

One definition, the one that would be listed first, is something cool and exciting.

"That shirt is awesome because it lights up."
"That solo was awesome, you were the star of the show!"

Being awesome means being enjoyable and unique to the senses I think.

Actually being awesome is probably the second most used definition.

"You are awesome."

What does that mean?

It means you are wonderful. It means you add Technicolor to whatever context it's being used in.

Most of society is lonely, or so they say. Everyone has someone in their life that is wonderful though. Even though you have 43897598 people around you, they all fade into the background. In a sense, they are white noise.

Wonderful and awesome are the words for people who stick out. That could be your best friend or your worst enemy.

They add vibrancy.

Worst enemy you ask?

Well, you know when they enter the room and you're aware of their life in someway. They are a color in a sense, not a grey passerby. While they might not be wonderful, their personality strikes a chord with you and thus, they are more likely to stand out in other circles too, perhaps for the better!

So, in my theory, that I just came up with as I wrote this, enemies are closer to being your awesome companion than strangers.

I was inspired by the Liz.
