    Text - sup melo Follow @rocketbud Replying to @persisting2017 @ParkerMolloy @neiltyson 'Awesome' may lose its potency, but that doesn't mean our emotions do. We just use new words to describe the feeling that 'awesome' once defined. Nothing wrong with that; words change meaning all the time. It's only as sad as you make it!
