I always found the word "melanoma" to be strangely beautiful sounding. I think if it didn't already have it's (awful) definition, that it would be a really pretty name for a girl.

As ironic as it may be, samsara. It gives me an odd feeling as if I'm just touching the surface of... something. Like it's nearly-but-not-quite describing something essential to our existence.

"Literally."

One of the definitions of "literally" is literally "not literally." I find that beautiful.
