sehnsucht

(zeːnzʊxt) A German untranslatable noun, sehnsucht is defined a deep emotional state of nostalgia and unfinished feelings. It is the inadequate longing of yearning for life’s unfulfilled wishes and a deep desire, which seems impossible to obtain. Although it is similar to the Portuguese word, Saudade, sehnsucht is a longing for an obscure, innate desire, which you can’t define.  (via afroui)

note to self: name a character Saudade Sehnsucht… the story will write itself
