Words That Describe Feelings You Can't Explain Novels & Stories

"Huh?" "I can't stop thinking about you Noah. I just don't know what and how to explain this wonderful feeling of my heart. I don't know what is it, or why it comes when I talk with you. I don't know why I feel like I need something desperately but can't figure out what it is. I don't know what to do, my heart.. it's it's - " I couldn't speak when emotions take over my voice.

And I can't define that feeling. I don't know if it's good, or bad.

"What do you mean by 'you cannot feel?" "There are things I cannot share with you, but this I will tell you. I am only capable of feeling two emotions: pain and pleasure. I cannot love you, not because I don't want to, but because I don't know how to. I can't. So most of the times I like to feel this two little emotions as much as I can, just to remind me that I am still a living being"

And something happened. I have tried to describe it to Mirra and to Ethan and to Lily and to Aurora, each of whom has received my attempt with the patient attention of someone who understands that certain experiences exceed the capacity of the vocabulary available for them and is not going to make the person describing them feel inadequate for the exceeding. The best I have managed is this.

I wish I was like that, but I wasn't. I closed my eyes for one long moment in high hopes of looking back into the windows of his love. I don't feel shit. Actually, I feel one shit. Pain? Agony? Anguish? Hurt? Jesus Christ, how many fucking synonyms of this excruciating feeling exist in the fucking dictionary. Different spelling, same fucking feeling.

I struggled to put into words the depth of my feelings, but the pain was undeniable. I couldn’t understand this. The emotions swirling inside me were complex and hard to articulate. Why did it feel like I was mourning the loss of something that never was? Why did the thought of being apart from him, in whatever capacity, feel so devastating? I grappled with the contradictions, trying to untangle the threads of my feelings. The more I thought about it, the more elusive the answers seemed, leaving me with only questions and a deep sense of longing.

Taking away my only person I felt could be a friend in this pack, now leaving me stranded with nothing but doubts. I opened my mouth as though to speak to the emptiness, but no words came. My throat burned with everything I wanted to say but couldn’t shape. I wish I had the right words to explain what I felt deep down, but language failed me. My heart was a storm, and storms are not easily put into sentences.

If I could only find the words to explain the way I was feeling at that moment I would, but there are honestly no words. My heart was thumping wildly in my chest. My stomach was tied into knots with anticipation. It feels as though the blood in my veins was boiling. You know when you have two magnets, and you try to pull them apart, but that force between them keeps drawing them together again. That’s the only way I could describe what I feel when I’m around this girl. It’s like everything around me disappears, and she’s all I see, she’s all I need. I’ve never felt anything like this.

REBECCA "Well, I would describe jealousy as a wave. It crashes into your heart with a mix of emotions. Anger and sadness. Most of the time, it's not a pleasant feeling, but it hurts. Right here," she said, placing her hand over her heart. "It hurts. Your chest tightens, and it feels like you can't breathe. Sometimes you might feel like crying or becoming so furious that you want to resort to violence, like punching someone in the face. I can't exactly put it into words, but it's quite overwhelming."

"I did. But I want to hear it for once more time. So now tell me what were you saying?" "I.... was....ummm.... saying.... that... He kissed me today." "Who?" "Who else?" "OMG! OMG! OMG! Really N? Ohh Gosh, I can't believe." "Yaar. I'm dying here and you're dancing there. Crazy girl, first listen to me what I'm saying then do whatever you want to do." "Ohh, Sorry! Then tell me, what are you trying to say." "I don't know what's this feeling called. It feels....It feels ....Ugghh! I can't even express my feelings in words. You just understand what I'm trying to say. Can't you do this for me?"
