bye

I don’t know about you, but I’m going to have to write a lot of these in the next two years. I was looking for some tips the other day and here are some resources that I think might help.

everything you need (divided in sections so it’s easy to read!!)

I hope this helps you!!

Aries: Mamihlapinatapei, Yagan (indigenous language of Tierra del Fuego) - “The wordless, yet meaningful look shared by two people who both desire to initiate something but are both reluctant to start.”

Taurus: Saudade, Portuguese - “the feeling of longing for something or someone that you love and which is lost.”

Gemini: Won, Korean - “The reluctance of a persons part to let go of an illusion.”

Cancer: Iktsuarpok, Inuit - “The frustration or impatience of waiting for someone to turn up at an event or a meeting”

Leo: Cafuné, Brazilian Portuguese - “The act of tenderly running one’s fingers through someone’s hair.”

Virgo: Hyggelig, Danish - “It’s literal translation into English gives connotations of a warm, friendly and cozy demeanor”

Libra: Ya’aburnee, Arabic - “Both morbid and beautiful at once, this incantatory word means ‘You bury me,’ a declaration of one’s hope that they’ll die before another person because of how difficult it would be to live without them.”

Scorpio: Friolero, Spanish - “a person who is especially sensitive to cold weathers or temperatures.”

Sagittarius: Wabi-Sabi, Japanese - “A way of living that focuses on finding beauty within the imperfections of life and accepting, peacefully, the natural cycle of growth and decay.”

Capricorn: Toska, Russian - (Vladmir Nabokov describes it best) “No single word in English renders all the shades of toska. At its deepest and most painful, it is a sensation of great spiritual anguish, often without any specific cause. At less morbid levels it is a dull ache of the soul, a longing with nothing to long for, a sick pining, a vague relentlessness, mental throes, yearning. In particular cases it may be the desire for somebody or something specific, nostalgia, love-sickness. At the lowest level it grades into ennui, boredom.”

Aquarius: Uitwaaien, Dutch - “Literally it means to walk in the wind, but in a more figurative (and commonly used) sense, it means to take a brief break in the country side to clear one’s head.”

“flowers fade, the fruits of summer fade, they have their seasons, so do we”
