 German Simply πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ


There is a German word for the feeling of being completely safe – not just physically, but in your soul.

Not ambition. Not achievement. Something quieter. π—šπ—²π—―π—Όπ—Ώπ—΄π—²π—»π—΅π—²π—Άπ˜. 𝘎𝘦𝘣𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘯 = sheltered, safe, held. 𝘩𝘦π˜ͺ𝘡 = the suffix that makes it a feeling. The feeling of being held by a place, a person, or a moment – safe in a way that goes beyond physical safety. 𝘎𝘦𝘣𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘩𝘦π˜ͺ𝘡 is what you feel when you are with people who know you completely and you need not perform or explain yourself. When a place feels like home not because you grew up there – but because something in you recognised it the moment you arrived. When a language starts feeling familiar – not foreign. English has safe. English has comfort. English has belonging. None of them carry this. 𝘎𝘦𝘣𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘩𝘦π˜ͺ𝘡 is what happens when all three arrive at the same time in the same moment without warning. German decided that feeling deserved its own word.
