There are things you’ve felt

that no language can describe.

Tiny aches.

Weird joys.

Flickers of thought that vanish before they form.

But they were real.

You felt them.

At The Yume Collective, we believe those unnamed emotions matter —

even if they only last a second.

So we gave them names.

Here are the Top 10 Emotions That Don’t Exist (Yet) —

but might live in you already.

10. Farsol

The quiet grief of realizing a place you love will never stay the same.

It hits you on a walk.

Or when you revisit your childhood home.

Nothing bad has happened —

but it’s not yours anymore.

The paint’s different.

The light’s colder.

You smile, but you’re already mourning the memory.

9. Chisence

The second before a huge realization when you feel your mind stretching.

A click you haven’t clicked yet.

Your brain is rearranging itself —

you can feel it.

Like the edge of a dream.

Or a lightbulb mid-flicker.

8. Velm

The calm loneliness of walking through a city where no one knows your name.

Not sadness.

Not danger.

Just the strange, weightless freedom of being completely anonymous.

It’s you against the neon.

And somehow, that’s beautiful.

7. Nomeria

The feeling that someone you haven’t met yet already misses you.

You don’t know who.

You don’t know when.

But you feel it.

Like a thread pulling in your chest.

A whisper from the future.

6. Glintwish

The sudden, painful need to remember something you’ve already forgotten.

You were so sure you’d hold onto it.

But it’s gone.

A detail. A name. A smell.

And now your whole soul is clawing to rewind time.

Even though you can’t.

5. Echojoy

When someone else’s happiness makes you unexpectedly emotional.

A stranger laughing with their friend.

A kid dancing to music you can’t hear.

You don’t know them.

But you feel your chest expand.

Their joy leaks into your ribs.

And you let it.

4. Feyshift

When the world looks suddenly unreal — but not in a scary way.

The sky is too purple.

The trees shimmer.

Your own hands look like they belong to someone else.

It’s like slipping out of the script.

For a breathless second.

3. Halowish

That longing for a version of yourself that never got to exist.

The braver you.

The softer you.

The you who moved to another city, said yes to something wild, started over.

They’re not dead.

They’re just out of reach.

But sometimes, they feel closer than your current reflection.

2. Stillcry

Crying for a reason you don’t understand — and don’t need to.

You’re not sad.

Not exactly.

You’re just full.

Of memories, or music, or time.

And the tears slip out, quiet and kind.

With no need to explain.

1. Luneth

The specific kind of peace you feel at 3 a.m., when the world is asleep but your mind is loud and soft at once.

It’s lonely.

But it’s also yours.

A secret hour where your thoughts stretch out like shadows.

You’re not sure if you’re dreaming yet.

Or if this is the realest you’ve ever felt.

🕯 You’ve Felt These Before. You Just Didn’t Have Words for Them.

Language can be heavy.

But emotions — the real ones — are often smoke.

Hard to hold, but impossible to forget.

At The Yume Collective, we explore these smoky spaces.

The quiet rooms in your head.

The unnamed moods that make us human.

If even one of these words hit you,

you’re already part of the collective.

You don’t need permission to feel things that don’t have names.

Feel them anyway.

They’ll recognize you.
