Dutch term
dicht op het huid zitten
Dutch to English
Art/Literary
Idioms / Maxims / Sayings
Artikelen over dingen die mij dicht op het huid zitten (filosofie, carriere, ambitie)....
I was thinking along the lines of 'are close to my heart', but Van Dale gives 'hevig aansporen' for 'iemand dicht op het huid zitten' - I've seen examples of this meaning online.
Can it also have the meaning I came up with? Any thoughts anyone?

close to my heart
'close to my heart' was the first thing that sprang to mind. Articles on matters that are close to to my heart or optionally ....that I consider to be important.

oops! 'to to' my heart, should, of course, read 'to my heart'
