My first name, drop the "e," and add, "ia."
Awesome.
If, and when, I comment on social media, It's usually a single word. "Awesome," or, "Sweet." Makes sense to keep things simple, and not comment too much or pick sides on things they want us to get upset about.I looked up the suffix, "ia" to better understand.
According to Google AI...
" A noun forming element derived from Latin and Greek. Used to create abstract nouns, names of places, or specific categories."
"ia's" you may have heard of...
Geographical - California, Australia, Russia.
Conditions, or diseases - Anemia, Insomnia, Pneumonia, dementia.
Names of groupls of plants and animals - mammalia, reptilia.
Relating to, or plural concepts - Suburbia, insignia, militia.
Combining my personality with the ideas above, Stevia, could mean...
Groups or individuals that like quiet, but can be loud. Introverts, that like to try to tell a good story. Analytical types, that schedule time every day to daydream, write, or doodle a drawing. People that are called, "Old Souls," and at the same time push their body and mind to hold on to their youth. People that take time to get to know, then you wonder if you really know them.
The actual product Stevia...
Named after Spanish Botanist and physician, Pedro Jaime Esteve.
A sugar substitute that is 50 to 300 times sweeter than sugar.
The plant, Stevia Rebaudiana is native to Paraguay and Brazil.
Stevia sugar substitute has been available in the US since 2008, and is sold under several brand names.
Maybe Stevia is a dimension in which I exist. Always looking for ways to make the day pallatable, and interesting. Better than the last. An intentional smile and sprinkle of sugary attitude to bring out the best of a normal, bland day.
Like Pedro Jaime Esteve, and other Steve's around the world, I'm happy to share the name.
Sweet.
