brims

Fedora's projecting perimeters

Brims is the plural of brim—the projecting edge of a hat, or the upper edge of a container: The brims of their cowboy hats shaded their faces.

As a verb form, brims means to be full to the point of overflowing: Her eyes brimmed with tears, The cup brims with coffee.

Something that brims with emotion or energy is abundantly full of it.
