New Word: Kimochi (aka #feels)


The good old days. On my last day of primary school. I totally bawled.

So I learnt a new word of Japanese: kimochi.

It means 'feels'. And you literally can use it alone. As in, I have 'feels'. As in, #feels. But they actually say it here.

This is my dream come true.

In Australia I was using Riffsy on my phone, a GIF app on the keyboard, for when an emoji just didn't make the cut. Basically, #feels was my ultimate go to for every text and possible emotion. You just got a new job - feels GIF. Oh, your cat died - feels GIF.

And here, they say it. All the time. Kimochi.


My all time favourite GIF for #feels.
