the.com/exuberance

joy that refuses to whisper, too full of itself to apologize for the volume.

means A state of overflowing, energetic enthusiasm or high spirits — joy and vitality spilling out in abundance.

from From Latin exuberare, 'to be abundant, to overflow,' built from ex- ('out') and uberare ('to be fruitful'), which traces back to uber, meaning 'fertile' or 'udder' — literally the swollen fullness of something brimming over. The word arrived in English through French in the 15th century, originally describing rich, lush growth before it bloomed into the modern sense of a feeling too full to be contained.
