“I whelve you.”
Yeah, I know, it’s not a word you hear every day, but I like it. It’s a bit deeper than “I love you” and a little lighter than “I care about you,” but it fits in a way that makes sense in my world.
It’s like a mix of feelings, layered up like a perfectly stacked sandwich—sometimes MESSY, but always real.
To "whelve" someone is to feel this sort of balanced overwhelm, like you're so full of thoughts, energy, and emotions that it tips over just the right amount.
Not too much, not too little—just whelming!
It’s about giving someone a space in your life that's not too much to handle, but enough to make everything feel a bit more... meaningful. It’s when you know they’re special, but you’re not going to make it some big dramatic thing.
I whelve you because I’m with you in this easy, no-pressure way, where the little things count just as much as the BIG ones. Whether we’re laughing at something silly or sharing a quiet moment, that’s what it is. It’s not about grand gestures or intense declarations.
It’s just there, in the way I care without expectation, in the way I appreciate you for simply existing.
So, yeah, I whelve you. It’s NOT complicated.
It’s just me saying I’ve got space for you in a way that feels good, comfortable, and genuine. No need for anything too heavy, just a simple, “Hey, you matter.”

Writing About Writing: The Rainbow Trap
The good thing about living in modern times is that LGBTQ representation in media is increasing. Not just in niche and Independant media, either, but also in mainstream media. Books, movies, TV shows, comics... they're finally catching on that LGBTQ+ people form a significant part of their audience, and deserve to see themselves on screen and in fiction, not just as victims in documentaries and true crime shows.

Show Me Your Prose!
I’ve caught the unofficial challenge bug again, and I have a lot of devious ideas (like my Cthulu’s Challenge: poetry in pig latin, but I’ll probably save that one for next Christmas or some other time when the sweetness gets a bit too cloying for my tastes.

A Love Forboding
The chipped stone slope caused unbearable footing. I slid, skirting on my heels. I cast my shield, relinquishing my guard to stay upright. Left with my double-edge and a prayer to the maker, I skated toward my objective. The earthly stubble gave way to solid ground. I found myself restored, a trail of dust in my wake.

Aww great word. Excellent piece. Love this so much.
This was great! I'll definitely be using this word sometime, lol.
Nice! I love this definition; hopefully it makes it into the dictionary!
Stealing this word haha! So original, raw and beautiful! Thank you for this💗
Wow! This is so amazing! Best!
‘Welve’ might be deeper than love. We whelve the person so much that we don’t want to make things complicated, we just want to…be, and to let them just… be. Sometimes the intense feeling makes a mess, and it gets too much for both parties. This piece was meditative and intellectually satisfying 👌🏽👏🏽♥️🤗
Im a bit crap at balance but love the idea and that is a mighty fine word! well written piece!
So damn relatable in my world tooo!
You're all kinds of awesome! I have a meme somewhere that basically says, "Have you ever noticed that people are never the right amount of whelmed?" I love your originality! ⚡💙⚡
Love this!! I whelve you because I’m with you in this easy, no-pressure way, where the little things count just as much as the BIG ones - the best for me.
May not have been a word but should be
u always come up with these new and really out of the box words last time it was about a group laugh right (I forgot it ) now its Whelve I guess this might be the root word for "overwhelmed" That makes so much more sense now . hope u come up with more of these
Balance, that's something I struggle with. It's either I'm at this end of the extreme or that end. It's either a 100% or 0% with me. Yes, I'm crazyyyyyy, lol. Loved your poem!
I don't think I've ever heard this word before, but I love it.
Komal You are the queen of this type of writing, keep it up
This made me smile so much!! Love this Komal!!
This is the perfect word and description/definition for it! Whelve it! 💗
A beautiful lesson in words and life
Such a sweet, heartfelt piece. This sounds comfortable.
I whelve this! What a wonderful word
That is such a great word, and you describe it perfectly. Well done.
Aww... The level of comfort this small piece of yours gave me was soothing and huge 💖 And I mean it? Oh, God... Truely beautiful and wholesome 🦋✨
Aww... This touched my heart! The word is supercute and the sentiment is supersweet! I knew that I would love this piece from its title! What a meaningful and dope way to showcase concern & affection! You knocked this one out of the park KoKo! 💕💪🏾
This embodies such genuine grace-filled thinking and reflection. Well done! 👏 It feels so right existing with people who understand us. The reason they understand us is because their hearts are like mirrors, in that they are so similar to us.
Amazing word! 🧡
