Words that Should Exist: Part 1

A new favourite hobby of mine is trying to capture succinctly in words common concepts and experiences of humans. I'm partially inspired by untranslatable words from other languages, which I'm compiling to highlight the transient nature of language but the solidity of human experience. So this will be a multi-part post as I compile experiences and/or the words to describe those experiences. Please do respond with suggestions.


  • beach fever - the feeling of being hot and cold at the same time that happens at the beach 
  • (need word) - the instant feeling of refreshment from walking barefoot on grass 
  • (need word) - the positive feeling of excitement you get when you miss someone
