the Til n. the reservoir of all possible opportunities still available to you at this point in your life—all the countries you still have the energy to explore, the careers you still have the courage to pursue, the skills you still have time to develop, the relationships you still have the heart to make—like a pail of water you carry around in your head, which starts off feeling like an overwhelming burden but steadily draws down as you get older, splashing gallons over the side every time you take a step. From The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows by John Koenig

elsewise adj. struck by the poignant strangeness of other people’s homes, which smell and feel so different than your own—seeing the details of their private living space, noticing their little daily rituals, the way they’ve arranged their things, the framed photos of people you’ll never know. From The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows by John Koenig

jouska n. a hypothetical conversation that you compulsively play out in your head— a crisp analysis, a devastating comeback, a cathartic heart-to-heart—which serves as a kind of psychological batting cage that feels far more satisfying than the small-ball strategies of everyday life. From The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows by John Koenig

looseleft adj. feeling a sense of loss upon finishing a good book, sensing the weight of the back cover locking away the lives of characters you’ve gotten to know so well. From The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows by John Koenig

kairosclerosis n. the moment you look around and realize that you’re currently happy— consciously trying to savor the feeling—which prompts your intellect to identify it, pick it apart, and put it in context, where it will slowly dissolve until it’s little more than an aftertaste. From The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows by John Koenig

trumspringa n. the longing to wander off your career track in pursuit of a simple life— tending a small farm in a forest clearing, keeping a lighthouse on a secluded atoll, or becoming a shepherd in the mountains—which is just the kind of hypnotic diversion that allows your thoughts to make a break for it and wander back to their cubicles in the city. From The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows by John Koenig

chrysalism n. the amniotic tranquility of being indoors during a thunderstorm. From The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows by John Koenig

sonder: the realization that each random passerby is the main character of their own story, in which you are just an extra in the background. From The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows by John Koenig
