Lucenigma

Lucenigma

noun

 A feeling of perpetually standing on the threshold of fulfillment, always close yet never quite the centerpiece. It is the recognition of being important, yet never quite central, often playing a pivotal, supportive role without receiving the full spotlight.

An uncanny state of existence where one’s shadow is ever-present in the cast of life’s grand production, illuminating the roles that revolve around charisma without wearing the crown itself, a dancer perpetually caught in someone else’s spotlight.

(From Latin ‘lux’ (light) + Greek ‘enigma’ (puzzle), representing the mystery of existing within the light that reveals others. Pronounced ‘loo-KE-nee-gma’).
