The Word Gezellig
Read this slowly. Let the words arrive before you decide what they mean.
Some words refuse translation because translation would make them smaller. #
Gezellig. I used to translate it in my head. Cosy. Nice. Pleasant. Sociable. Warm. None of them exactly. Now I just know it when it happens. Dinner with people you like. Candles. A warm café when it is cold outside. Tea at home. A crowded room that feels good instead of crowded. Christmas lights. Yuri and me eating something stupidly late while music plays. Gezellig. The word has stopped needing subtitles.
Remember me, Eclipse.
Why?
Because every thought leaves a trace. If something moved you, disturbed you, softened you, or made you think, leave it here, quietly.
