Felo-de-se
What type of crimes are we committing against ourselves? What type of things are we constantly denying ourselves due to fear, laziness, other people’s influence or what we’ve been trained to think?
Felo-de-se was Wordnik’s word of the day. It means: A crime committed against oneself, in particular an early twentieth-century euphemism for suicide.

Not too long ago I had what was probably the most terrifying dream.
