When It Is Time To Anthropomorphize Your Emotions
Anthropomorphize: to ascribe human form or attributes to (an animal, plant, material object, etc.). My beloved uses this term a lot when discussing biology (his field of expertise). Specifically, when I try to accredit our dog with human feelings and … Continue reading
