Words fascinate me. How a string of letters can join together to form intricate sentences fascinates me. How only a few sentences can cause not only ripples but tides of change fascinates me. One can do anything from changing someone's perspective to making them feel all sorts of things with the longest or shortest paragraphs. But unfortunately there is only a limited number of words in this universe, owing to which what we are able to make others see and feel is limited. 

I want more than my given share of words. I want my words to fascinate others and to make them wonder for days on end. I want my words to not only make others feel and understand things but to make them feel and understand things the same way I do. I want to be able to describe that warm, fuzzy feeling I felt this morning when I woke up early and realized I still had an extra hour to sleep, or that quick panic turned to relief I felt on my way to home yesterday when a stranger yelled at me in the street, only to discover it was my dad asking if I wanted a ride home in a way that the other person will understand just as if they had been the one to experience it instead of me. But how can I explain such detailed, intricate feelings with only a limited vocabulary? 

Or better yet, how can I describe something bigger than just a single sensation, for example a whole human being, with all of our thoughts and feelings and experiences that we’ve gone through, with only a limited vocabulary? 

If you could give me ideas on how to continue or just opinions on what I have so far that would be amazing, thank you so much!

I'm in eleventh grade by the way.
