10. Joy

This is probably my least favorite. The next one is amazing, if I do say so myself.

Joy-Mary

There were many synonyms to the word joy. Cheer… elation… glee… mirth… There were so many words you could use in place of that one drab word.

Mary had a tendency to dismiss words like happiness and joy. She had little use for such everyday words when she could use vivid, exciting words to spice up her writing instead.

However, Mary couldn't help but ponder her views as she glanced around the town, in which Christmas lights were strung around. Joy was a word often associated with Christmas, and Mary couldn't help but wonder why. It was, after all, a short and boring word. Why would it be chosen above all the rest? Well, perhaps there was a reason. Nobody wanted ELATION printed and hung in decorative foil on their wall. Mary laughed to herself, flicking a snowflake from her braid.

Or maybe joy was an emotion all it's own.
