going faster and faster and FASTER AND FASTER. . . ?
You know it’s the Fourth of July NEXT WEEKEND, right and that means the Beginning to the End of Summer; look at all of the END OF SUMMER SALES or worse, BACK TO SCHOOL SPECIALS

As a kid you run around so fast, the world around you seems to stand still. A summer vacation can stretch on for an eternity.

The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows is a compendium of invented words written by John Koenig. Each original definition aims to fill a hole in the language—to give a name to emotions we all might experience but don’t yet have a word for. Follow the project, give feedback, suggest an emotion you need a word for, or just tell me about your day. Email the author: obscuresorrows@gmail.com Facebook   / the-di.  .
