unexpecteds
The unexpected things that suddenly happen in people's lives which can in the most extreme cases shock them, but always force them to adapt because the unexpected event(s) prevented them from doing what they were planning to do and hoping to be able to do on a certain day, at a specific time.
Charlie told Kathryn, "It made me so happy to see you guys after the "unexpecteds" that popped into our lives." Monday, you had a family emergency and forgot to take your phone, which left me bewildered not knowing why you were not replying to my emails. Then Tuesday, my Internet was down which prevented us from meeting in ZOOM for me to tutor your lovable son.

Relative Desirability
Based on the quantity of women who are in a town, how desirable each is to each man in that town. If there is only one woman in town, as long as she is not ugly or old, she will attract the men and be desired. The moment other women are in town, each man finds himself comparing them to decide which one he likes more and get her to want him.
Based on the quantity of a specific thing or things, such as fruits, shoes, whatever, are available in a town, how desirable each is to people varies depending on how many they have to choose from.

It's so funny, and it took me years to comprehend what is going on in me, but I finally articulated the feeling and call it Relative Desirability.
