Back By Popular Demand


There is a book called “The History of Love” by Nicole Krauss. In it, she talks about how feelings came to be known. I mean, who was the first person to feel sarcastic? And who named that feeling “sarcasm?” What about embarrassment? Confusion? Love? Back those hundreds of thousands of years ago, new feelings were being… invented. New names for these feelings were being created. Feelings were being classified and separated into different feelings. Who’s to say that all the feelings in the world that possibly could be felt have been felt by now? I often times find myself feeling new things, especially when it comes to love. I feel different kinds of love for the same person all the time. I don’t have names for these feelings, so I have to improvise with adjectives and definitions that I already know.

I should study derivations and invent my own, new words.

Whilingosies - "Baby. I feel whilingosy for you."


….I just made myself lol. :)

I like this.

There are so many feelings that need words.

And those words wouldn't even have definitions, because there are no words for *those* words.
