✨ NEW SATURDAY SERIES ✨
Starting today, we are kicking off a new weekly tradition at Muse Beauty Lounge. Every Saturday, we’ll be opening the pages of John Koenig’s The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows—a beautiful collection of made-up words for those complex, deeply human emotions we all feel but can never quite put into words.
Why? Because at Muse, we believe beauty isn't just skin deep. It’s about honoring the intricate, sometimes messy, and deeply profound inner worlds we all carry.
We are starting our series with a word that might resonate more than you think:
📖 WORD OF THE WEEK: DYSTORIA (n.)
Pronunciation: dis-toh-ree-uh
Definition: A feeling of irrelevance from the broader forces of history; the sense that your life has no relationship to any great mission, no generational hardship, not even an enemy—feeling as harmless as a droplet skittering down a window, that could've just as easily taken part in a tidal wave.
Take a deep breath. In a world that constantly tells us we need to be changing history or making tidal waves, remember that there is immense peace and quiet beauty in simply being the droplet. Your presence, your routine, and your self-care matter exactly as they are.
Let’s chat in the comments: Have you ever felt this way? 👇
