So It’s Hygge Season. Whatever That Is (?)
If you’ve never heard of hygge, you need to know about it—this cozy Scandinavian lifestyle concept (pronounced hue guh) is starting to take over the world. In fact, it might just be revolutionizing the dating scene as well, serving as a quick fix for your winter dating blues. Hygge (or to be “hyggeligt”) doesn’t require learning “how to”, adopting it as a lifestyle or buying anything. It’s not a thing and anyone telling you different either doesn’t understand it or is literally trying to sell you something that has nothing to do with the concept. Another definition of hygge is “an art of creating intimacy” (either with yourself, friends and your home). While there’s no one English word or simple definition to describe hygge, several can be used interchangeably to describe the idea of hygge such as cosiness, charm, happiness, ‘contentness’, security, familiarity, comfort, reassurance, kinship, and simpleness.
Are you getting your Hygge game on? Can someone please explain this to me??
