Destinesia: to reach your destination only to forget why you were going there in the first place.
Destinesia is a portmanteau word. It is a combination of destination and amnesia.
Amnesia, in case you have forgotten, is a word meaning forgetfulness.
I’ve been experiencing destinesia lately. More than I care to think about. Sometimes, I will walk into the garage and ask myself, “Wait. Why did I come in here?”
Several times in my life I have experienced career destinesia. After several years of doing something, I will stop and ask myself, “Why did I start doing this?”
