By: Christelle MarambaWe’ve all had those moments where we feel something but we just don’t have the right word for it. We think long and hard on how to describe it but we just can’t, because we don’t have the word for it in our language. Well, how about we try to borrow from other languages!
That moment when you are eating and you know you are already full but you just can’t stop because everything just tastes so good, consequences be damned. We all get this feeling when we are in an eat-all-you-can restaurant or in a buffet.
Have you ever had that feeling of happiness when something bad happens to someone you do not particularly like? It’s a bad feeling, I know, but don’t deny that we feel this way sometimes, especially if it’s towards our enemies.
That feeling when nothing seems to go right, when our day, or even week or month or year, sucked so bad it seems like a never ending story of unfortunate events? Yeah, that horrible luck.
That moment when you like someone and you’re 99.99% sure he/she likes you back but you’re both afraid to make a move because it might ruin everything. Ever been in that moment?
That feeling when you miss someone or something so terribly that even the most intensifying intensifiers can’t do the job to describe exactly how much you miss that person or thing.
We all know what to call the situation of someone not loving you back, it’s called Unrequited Love. However, what about the feeling of unrequited love? It’s not simply called heartache.
If you ever experience Lethologica again, try looking it up on the internet. You'll never know, the word you're looking for might just be from another country.
