Do You Know What HAPPY HEARTING Means?

HAPPY HEARTING means "I'm sending you all lots of love."

What's that?  Yeah.  I just made that up!  Here's how I ended up coining the phrase.

I love using heart emojis. But I admit I don't always know what the heart emojis mean. I found an article that explains them.

~ What Do All the Heart Emojis Mean? A Guide To Using the Symbols of Love 

This article was very enlightening. I didn't know all of this about heart emojis.

I usually play it safe and stick to the red heart. LOL.

There are lots of hearts explained in this YAHOO article. But I found these three hearts interesting.

(1) Bandaged Heart

This one feels especially meaningful because it's not just about love, it's about healing. The article says it can represent recovering from loss, protecting your energy, or practicing self-love.

(2) Purple Heart

This stood out because it has a unique cultural connection. The article notes that it is often associated with BTS* and the phrase "I purple you," meaning love and trust. [yahoo.com]

RE: BTS* - I follow K-drama but I don't keep up with K-Pop. BTS is the only group I know. The purple heart linked to them is a quite a surprise. DID YOU KNOW?

The the USA, if someone in our military receives a Purple Heart, it's a sign of something brave they did was beyond the call of duty. Because it's so special, I kind of avoid using purple hearts. But that's just me.

* BTS is a South Korean pop music group that became one of the most popular and influential music acts in the world. The group is known for its music, performances, and highly engaged fan community called ARMY.

The purple heart is connected to BTS because one of the group members coined the phrase "I purple you." That phrase signifies love and trust. So if BTS fans use the purple heart emoji as a symbol of affection, loyalty, and support.

"Borahae" (the Korean phrase associated with "I purple you")

(3) Heart on Fire

This is probably the most dramatic heart in the list. The article describes it as symbolizing passionate love, but also the idea of moving on and "burning" a past love. There is a dual meaning. It could represent either intense connection or personal transformation.

Did y'all know this? Learn something new every day. Right?

Today I'm going to coin a new phrase.

Instead of saying HAPPY HUNTING, I'm going to say HAPPY HEARTING!

Don't get me wrong. HAPPY HUNTING is a good phrase too. It means "good luck with your search" if you're diligently looking for something. But the word HUNTING gives off the wrong vibe for me. (I'm weird like that. 😊)

Whereas for me, HAPPY HEARTING is like "I'm sending you all a lot of love".

♥️ One of my brothers was a loyal Dionne Warwick fan. He had almost all of her albums. This song was released in 1966. It's been 60 years, and this song never gets old. It's kind of my inspiration for the phrase HAPPY HEARTING.
