Chill is a perfect word because it gives a name to something that was previously ineffable. It’s not quite «cool» and it’s not quite «calm.» It’s somewhere between and yet somehow both. You know it when you see it. And you know it when someone needs it. An un-chill person is not welcome in my space unless you have a heck of a good reason for being un-chill. No, I think we all need to be operating at a baseline level of chill just so we can all be on the same page. 

If you ever feel yourself losing your chill, there are a few steps you can take to prevent this. The common prescription is to take a «chill pill,» though that’s pretty vague. A chill pill could be a walk around the block, a few deep breaths, or a bite of some good food. It could also be a look at some memes.
