- mistermann 6y agoHere's a nice YouTube channel you may like. https://www.youtube.com/c/obscuresorrows/videos https://www.youtube.com/c/obscuresorrows/videos A compendium of invented words written by John Koenig, that aims to fill holes in the language—to give a name to emotions we all feel but don't have a word for. The author's mission is to capture the aches, demons, vibes, joys and urges that roam the wilderness of the psychological interior. Each sorrow is bagged, tagged and tranquilized, then released gently back into the subconscious.
