Hey there!
Welcome to my blog!
I set this blog up way back at the start of school, but thanks to Drexel and the quarter system that it follows, I've not been able to post anything so far. So let me use this post as a headstart and go ahead to introduce my blog, titled Nunchi.
I love languages. In fact, I speak a total of seven different languages with ease. I also have a love for words. Whenever I come across a new language, I usually watch out for the most beautiful words. For example, Hygge (pronounced Hooga) which in Dansk (Danish) refers to an absence of anything annoying, taking pleasure from the presence of gentle or soothing things. And Nunchi (눈치), which in Korean alludes to the ability to gauge the mood of others, read the atmosphere and react appropriately.
If you are still wondering, yes, that's how I got to the name of this blog, Nunchi. I love East Asian cultures (I'm attempting to self-learn either of Japanese or Korean), and I chanced upon this wonderful word while reading some random article on the internet.
Well, don't be confused by the deep meaning that underlies the name of the blog. I'm not one of those armchair philosophers to write posts so deep that you could see Adele rolling in there. My posts are going to be whatever that comes off the top of my head: some with meaning, and most without meaning. I hope to write on a wide spectrum of topics which I feel could initiate conversations and forge relationships: conversations worth remembering and relationships worth enduring.
Alright, I'm elated. Elated that I got myself to sit in here and write this much. Given the horrible procrastinator that I'm, let's see how long it's gonna take before I write my second post.
Best,
A
