My favourite words in Korean

Just a list of random words that I think have a beautiful sound or meaning. Feel free to add your favourite words or to correct any mistakes I’ve made

금사빠 (금방 사랑에 빠지는 사람) a person who falls in love quickly 꽃길 lit. flower road; life filled with fortune, happiness 꿈꾸다 to dream 노을 glow of the setting or rising sun 눈치 ability to listen and gauge others’ moods 단풍 autumnal tints 답정너 (답은 정해져 있고 너는 대답만 하면 돼) asking a question while already expecting a certain answer  든해 sunlight filling the room through a window 미래 the future 반짝반짝 twinkle twinkle 별 star 보슬보슬 (of rain) drizzling 추억 cherished memories 하늘 sky 햇살 sunlight 영원 eternity 오솔길 forest trail 우주 universe

types of people — skies

rainstorms: soft flashes of lightning and the quiet of rain drumming overhead. reverse chronology, minimalism, pink and green, alternate realities. brings light in the oddity of laughter from the depths of your soul. seen what it’s like without the light and determined to bring chaotic kindness. pause and glance at possibility, stay overnight, catch your breath. each motion is made with care—with deliberate kindness and passion.

starry skies: you’re dark and wild and bold and kind and funny. bomber jackets and alternative and black pen sketches. venus seen from earth. bold, adventurous, travelling — but appreciative of what you pass by. you stop to touch a moment in time to understand the entirety of its essence, and move on to the next new place and adventure because you know how many moments in time are out in your galaxy but still within your reach.

snow flurries: big eyes and warm hugs and loud laughter and mystery souls. supportive and beautiful but lasts too short for a snow day. unique in every aspect. has the aura of the calmest winter morning and the soul of the fiercest warrior. you’ve inhaled peace and with a hand on a shoulder you let it bleed somewhere else before moving on to your next patient. joy and peace will follow in your trail, quieter than a shadow.

just after sunrise: soft smiles and reliability and loose leaf tea. you’re bright and soothing and warm and quirky. there’s something light about you that whispers of no expectations. you exist and flow like a river, smiling with a soft gaze that is understanding. you leave secrets behind in tiny creeks that run over loose pebbles, away from the mainstream. plants will flourish in your wake, happy to be alive.

midday moon: playful and calm. noticeable against the blue of the sky. whispers of what the night could bring just hours later, your presence is a reminder of the future and of the past. soft giggles and pastel highlighter and balanced cups of coffee — you seek to know the secrets of the earth’s soil. you reflect the light of the sun, a source of constancy and hope. you’ll never know what’s on the other side of the moon.

maybe you were put on this earth to be tender and loving during a time when you are expected to be cruel and calloused

types of people

sun - bright smile, loud laugh, effortless conversation, constant flirting, golden hour photos, sunsets on the beach, music festival, inside jokes, road trips, high ponytails and a competitive spirit

snow - oversized hoodies, muted colours, neat handwriting, long showers, midnight conversations, hot chocolate, stargazing, uncontrollable laughter, hopeless in love

rain - nostalgia, old libraries, coffee shops, film photos, millions of spotify playlists, oversized sweaters, the smell of a campfire, soft blankets, old movies, late-night regrets, tangled headphones, absolutely everything completed at the last second

wind - writing poetry, overthinking, denim jackets and skirts, messy hair, rosy cheeks, sudden laugh, butterflies, easily distracted and easily bored, probably not doing what they’re supposed to be doing

The Other Side, Dean Cornwell, 1918

[cirrrostratus]

types of people—flowers

rose—steadfast and honest. waking up early and simple conversations. two cups of tea and a teapot. filled journals and bay windows. a deep breath out after a long hour of crying. watercolors on sketchbook paper.

dahlia—mysterious and captivating. trusting yourself to explore new things. acceptance of your flaws. courage to face life on your worst days. tight hugs and whispered pinky promises. words and meaning hidden behind abstract art.

peony—bright and inspiring. supportive when you least expect it. trampoline flips and fizzy sodas. laughter in music and confidence in silence. learning to grow day by day, inch by inch. old, beaten down sneakers that have seen the world.

sunflower—bold and creative. intimidating until they reveal their kindness. chases what brings them joy rather than pleases society. knows what lies in the nooks and crannies of the universe and has built a craft out of that knowledge.

carnation—joyful and kind. giggling on a monday morning. perfectly worded sentences. flowing pants and loose strands of hair. comfort in youth and being young. the art of caring for the environment around you.

to love and be loved is the only thing that matters

[kinshcp]

types of people — colours.

golden: passionate brown eyes, flecked with gold. clinking of champagne glasses. hushed gossiping. play filled wrestling on cotton sheets. being hugged, held close and dear. parties at sunset, full of shimmering gowns. running through empty corridors. dancing without a melody.

maroon: sneaking out at night to skate. tousled hair and flushed cheeks. slumber parties, staying up all night. dashing through a field of flowers. heartbreaks over messages. dangerous, yet hypnotic, light brown eyes. tough on the outside, gentle on the inside. social, yet often found alone.

aquamarine: aching, primal needs for something unattainable. jumping headfirst into anything and everything. bruised knuckles and freckled shoulders. friends with the dolphins. a piercing gaze from icy blue eyes. gentle protectiveness. innocence lost. pressed against your side in the midst of thunder.

violet: hazy, drunken evenings with friends. wine sloshing on the rim of the glass. lipstick markings along collarbones. dreamer, staring up at the stars at late night. soft hands carding through knotted hair. scrapbooking of stupid things you do. the loudest screaming on rollercoasters.

pine: hazel eyes swirling with rebelliousness. thundering through a trail less travelled. sunlight being filtered through the leaves. angelic singing, heard only by those trusted most. hard times, close friends. childhood memories, looked back upon fondly. scarred skin, yet smooth to the touch.

i need!!! to be in the forest. run my hand through a little stream. climb over a fallen tree…maybe sit down on a stone and forget about society for a bit

[brainscrewz]

i have some goblin opinions and you will read them. i hate bras. if i ever meet g*d i'm going to bite him. i think humans should be able to see more colors. iceberg lettuce is tasty. collec.t beach glass. it's good to be naked sometimes. no gods no masters just the animalistic needs and wants of flesh. don't pet crocodiles but it is understandable to want to. throwing sand at peoples' eyes is not cheating if it's self defense. chew your nails and dress like shit.

types of people — ocean things

shipwreck: you are a blend of creativity and quirkiness that you have accepted so fully no tidal wave could ever stop your path of nature. upon resting eyes on you, people understand what it means to be yourself, not without but despite the fears of what anyone else may guess. and you, of all people, know you can trust your friends to love you for yourself and nothing more.

sea monster: the arrows that come from your quiver strike with fire and flame, the mark of a warrior. you have earned every ounce of respect from your friends, rising from the ashes of circumstance to conquer with art, laughter, and dumbfoolery. you spark a childish joy in your friends that encourages them to be as great as you in both stature and personality.

blue whale: the rest of the world stops to listen to a conversation with you because you are present for every word. you have no need for the worries outside of your understanding, reassuring those around you with peace. you are earl grey tea in a complete tea set, reading books next to a rainy bay window, smiling and dancing like no one is watching, a hug that makes both people feel safe.

giant squid: to look into your eyes is to know adventure. you don’t need many words to show your trust. you love deeply and kindly, supporting and defending the people you care about the most. you are a fountain of reliability and you will stand taller than a mountain at the end of the world because you have the foundation of a good soul.
