Soliloquy

 The word I had chosen was Soliloquy (Soliloquy). 

Not only do the many smooth curves and loops make the word visually appealing, but the way it rolls off your tongue just soothes the soul...go ahead, say it. Soliloquy is the name you would bestow upon an ancient goddess in control of the ocean, soothing and calm, with a hint of sharp edge at the end. It’s the name of a queen with sweet humor and a powerful gaze. It represents hidden and underlying strength in the way it sounds and carries itself, however, not in the literal sense.

The word soliloquy has followed me through many years of school, many plays in the past. In the literal sense, it means to speak one’s thoughts aloud when by oneself or regardless of any hearers, often done by characters in a play. I believe that they couldn’t have picked a better name to fit it’s definition. Soliloquy represents the action of revealing one’s inner feelings without truly revealing them to anyone but themselves. It represents that hidden feeling from earlier, one that’s powerful and meaningful to the story, but remains hidden until needed. 

It’s often a word most people recognize as it pops up periodically throughout our education, but honestly, one so one seems to truly remember. I myself didn’t truly remember the definition, however, I much prefer the practice of expressing how it truly makes me feel and how it resonates with me instead. When you give a word it’s personal meaning it creates a deeper connection, the majority of words we will use in this blog among our class with most definitely stick with us for a little while.
