photographers, designers, writers, models, artists, stylists, MUAHs, artistic directors and others alike
there is the challenge described:
The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows is a new web series by John Koenig. The author’s mission is to capture the aches, demons, vibes, joys and urges that roam the wilderness of the psychological interior. Each sorrow is bagged, tagged and tranquilized, then released gently back into the subconscious.
Each magazine issue is devoted to one JK's invented word
The new key word for our next issue is:
Koinophobia: The Fear that You've Lived an Ordinary Life

translated as
While you're in it, life seems epic. Fiery, tenuous, and unpredictable. But once you have some distance from it, everything seems to shrink, until it's almost out of focus. So you begin scanning your life looking for something interesting or beautiful. But all you see is ordinary people assembled in their tiny classrooms and workspaces, each of us moving around in little steps, like tokens on a game board. ETYMOLOGY From Greek koinos, "common, ordinary, stripped of specialness" + phobia, "fear"
The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows is a compendium of invented words written by John Koenig. Each original definition aims to fill a hole in the language-to give a name to emotions we all might experience but don't yet have a word for. Follow the project, give feedback, suggest an emotion you need a word for, or just tell me about your day.
