Share this prompt:
Transform vague emotional descriptions into precise, felt experiences.

General emotion: {{emotion}}
Context/setting: {{context}}
Physical body part to anchor: {{body_focus}}

Let me think through this step by step:

1. First, identify what makes this emotion feel generic
2. Then, locate where this emotion lives in the body
3. Next, find the specific sensory details that accompany it
4. Now, discover the contradictions within this feeling
5. Finally, craft 3 lines that embody rather than describe this emotion

Show the transformation from abstract to visceral.
