precarious

i love the word "precarious." i was tottering on some steps this morning, trying to re-tie my shoe, and i realised how fitting that word was, to what it meant. when you say it, the word just sounds like it's balancing itself on the brink of something. it sounds unstable.

it's an onomatopoetic word for something that doesn't make a sound. that's why i love it so much.
