AWEROR

Sometime last summer I realized I didn't have a word to explain something that I often felt.
There were too many times in my life where, for example, I saw a musician play their ass off, and I left the performance feeling like I simultaneously wanted to quit playing all together, and go home and practice for the rest of the night.
I was in a state where my protons and electrons were flying in two different directions.
I was in total awe, and completely horrified by the things I had witnessed.
After some verbal drag-netting, the research and development area in my brain decided to settle in on the word 'AWEROR' to describe this feeling.
Spread the news.

This is simply amazing research. It's crazy to think of all the data they were able to record and analyze. So many patterns, intersections and feedback loops going on here, it's dizzying!
