Rumination
In psychology, rumination is when you can't take your mind off of something, often a bitter or negative experience you had in the past, and it still continues to bother you. You try to combat these intrusive thoughts, but they keep coming back no matter how hard you try to push them out. Rumination can be anywhere from a few minutes to an entire hour.
This is often due to a lack of resolution/rectification towards the bitter experience, especially if you failed to take control of the situation.
Rumination can also be about future events or goals, especially a harmful, unhealthy and unrealistic goal that you want to pursue.
The more you ruminate, the deeper the hole you're digging for yourself. It is better to stop ruminating early, or else you might end up in a very unhealthy state, both mentally and physically.

Peter had plans to assemble his Ikea furniture today, but during the assembly his mind wandered off and he started to ruminate about his ex and how she "borrowed" his money but never returned it back, and afterwards broke up with him. He had all these malicious thoughts inside his head and wanted to execute them all, but couldn't get himself to for the sake of his sanity. Peter's rumination costed him an hour's worth of time.

Rumina
Rumina..........literally the best girl in the world. She is a very adorable, amazing, stubborn person. She has amazing humor and can brighten your day with just her smile. But there's also her bad side; you mess with her and you'll end up in hell.
Rumina is also probably the best person to date. If you get an Rumina in a relationship, she will give all her effort, and will most likely get very attached to you; that is if she likes you enough, ´cause with the one, she gets ¨click¨ with, shes most likely in it for the long run. Rumina´s also very sexy, tho she doesn't try to dress too nice, but either way, she'll take your breath away. She has all the right curves in all the right places and has sparkling eyes that just melt you away. Shes literally a goddess. She is also an amazing friend, probably the best friend in the group. So if you ever DO get her in a relationship, NEVER let her go, EVER!!! NO MATTER WHAT. When you have her heart, take care of your ¨Rumina¨ cause shes only a once in a lifetime thing. Rumina is the love of my life, my whole world, and if I lost her.....I´d LITERALLY kill myself!
