# apothēke (n).
- [/a.po.tʰɛ̌ː.kɛː/] (αποθήκη)

### A place designated for storing or preserving items of value or importance.

I have an innate need to express the thoughts in my head.

Oftentimes I end upon conclusions that, in oral speech, am unable to express in a way that I find satisfactory. Also, due to the nature of dialogue, i.e. not a monologue, there is the propensity to diffuse the idea during a conversation; the need for a clarification of a definition might arise, or the disagreement for the use of a word which was picked for spurred rather than accuracy, etc, and in general there is no adequate space to fully expore a single idea in this process, as dialogue often is conductive to discussing and presenting a theme rather than a single subject contained within such a theme.

A friend pointed out that such an endeavour must be made in caution, I could, willingly or unwillingly, engage in this out of a feel of superiority, or rather a saviour complex of sorts. I do not feel like such is the case, it is however a possibility, people lie to themselves constantly and making a public statement carries the idea of believing that you are right. Nevertheless I feel like this is more of an outlet for my brain that exists publicly in the same sense that music or poetry exist publicly, not from a need to be correct, but from a need of self expression.

apothēke is therefore a project of self expression; or rather a showcase of my limited capability to understand the world.
