    Solitude: Ideal state of being

    Meditation:

    Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe

    Meditation: Deep thought on the nature of one's navel

    Trance:
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    Two cents in: Most times the worth of a wooden nickel (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wooden_nickel ); not to be confused with a plug nickel.

    Worth:

    what if I were to bare my soul
    would you see me origami

    Worth: The tendency of an already bad situation to decline further, i.e. things go from bad to worth.

    YesNo, I do deeply dig your definition of trance, and Dark Muse, I couldn't agree more about solitude.

    Stillness:
    Obsessed with facial symmetry.

    Hoity Toity: Some say it means “pretentious”. Some claim there is a valid alternate definition and it also means “silly”. Others say those two definitions are basically the same thing.

    Valid:

    Hoity-toity: Pretentious, pompous, self-important, or nearly everyone on Twitter.

    Valid: Considered true because someone famous enough to matter has declared it to be so


    Self-promotion: The ability of a charismatic person to talk about themselves in a way that makes them oddly intriguing or able to preform miracles.

    Miracle:
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    Oops, missed valid altogether. ;-) Miracle: A word some men my age invoke on those occasions when the, er, equipment performs as intended. Not me, of course. I'm a bulwark of virility and stamina.

    Bravado:
    Obsessed with facial symmetry.

    Bravado: False confidence or courage, such as a balding man with a comb-over and 200 pounds of spare tire who still thinks he's God's gift to women, while all the women are headed to God's gift exchange

    Self-image:
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...
