The Upper Midwest's third-largest compendium of the outer spatters of the emotional palette. Our mission is to harpoon, bag and tag wild sorrows, then release them back into the subconscious.
Each definition is written by John Koenig, and is intended to be read at night. Give feedback, tell us about your day or request a new word for something you're feeling at obscuresorrows@gmail.com. By suggesting an emotion you are granting us the right to like you, to reply, and to forever enshrine your name in the tags.
Want a fun and easy way to get a supple, sexy vocabulary in time for swimsuit season? Follow us on tumblr, our facebook page, unabridged rss, or twitter @ObscureSorrows.
