Mystichoria 

The b reluctance to look up information, driven by a sense of wonder or appreciation for the mystery itself, even though the answer is just a quick search away. It’s the deliberate choice to savor the unknown, finding beauty in the unanswered question rather than rushing to resolve it.

Mystichoria 

The feeling of contentment in not seeking an answer to a question, despite knowing it is easily discoverable; the deliberate savoring of mystery over knowledge.
In an age of instant answers, mystichoria feels almost rebellious—a quiet refusal to Google, to dissect, to explain.

As the old music box played its haunting melody, she felt a moment of mystichoria—choosing not to Google its origin, but to simply wonder who once cherished it.

Foot prisons 

Socks. Annoying, sweat-causing, non-barefoot enducing, everyday socks.
The first thing I do when I take off my shoes, is rip off the foot prisons I had to wear inside them. That's why I prefer flip flops, even in winter!
