Someone had the nerve to use this word with me before I was even fully awake today: skookum

from WIKI:
It has a range of positive meanings. The word can mean 'good,' 'strong,' 'best,' 'powerful,' 'ultimate,' or 'brave.' Something can be skookum meaning 'really good' or 'right on! 'excellent!', or it can be skookum meaning 'tough' or 'durable'. A skookum burger is either a big or a really tasty hamburger, or both, but when your Mom's food is skookum, it's delicious but also hearty. When you are skookum, you've got a purpose and you're on solid ground, in good health/spirits etc. When used in reference to another person, e.g. "he's skookum", it's used in respect with connotations of trustworthiness, reliability and honesty as well as (possibly but not necessarily) strength and size.

I first thought my word of the day would be :Sincerity, as in, striving to be sincere in all I do, or say, with the hope to get some sincereity from others in the form of closure. HOWEVER, I realized, I don't actually need those things to let go. I'm just going to wash my hands of it.
What I do need, is my new word, Esteem. I have it hidden in there somewhere, and I refuse to let my anixety shake my confidence from today forward.
