-Ance

This book was designed to offer positivity and undefined feelings through short stories, poems, and abnormal illustrations. Each word focused on will end with the Middle English suffix -ANCE (Middle English borrowed this from Anglo-French, who borrowed it from Latin), which is most commonly added to adjectives and nouns to create nouns and verbs.
There are three definitions for the suffix:
1)The action or process of doing something
2)A quality or state
3)The amount or degree

My inspiration behind this project came from the constant nagging of negativity in my personal life (the opposite of positivity). I was constantly being reminded that I have choices when it comes to my reactions toward the overwhelming forces of judgment, hurt, and anxiety. Instead of allowing the now habitual pessimism clutter my life, I can develop a mindset to acknowledge the circumstances, and release the negative energy.
