Words

On pinterest lately, I have been finding words. Unusual words, words with beautiful meanings. There are some words that really stand out to me. Words that I wish I'd know sooner.

I don't know what it is, but something about these words speaks to me. I just (it sounds weird) love them. (there needs to be a word for that!). Here are some of my favourites

Querencia
(n.) a place from which one's strength is drawn, where one feels at home; the place where you are your most authentic self.

Sonder 
(v) The realisation that everyone is living their own vivid life.

Sturmfrei
(adj) The freedom of being alone, the ability to do what you want.

Ikigai 
(n) a reason for being; the thing that gets you up in the morning.

Mellifluous
(adj.) A sound that is sweet and smooth, pleasing to hear.

Vorfreude
(n) the joyful anticipation from imagining future pleasures.

Insouciant
(adj.) Free from worry, concern or anxiety.

Meraki 
(v) to do something with soul, creativity or love, when you leave a piece of yourself in your work.

Serendipity
(n.) finding something beautiful without looking for it.

Fernweh
(n) Far sickness: an urge to travel even stronger than wanderlust.

Which is your favourite?
