"Hiraeth is an untranslatable Welsh word that describes a longing for a home, a place, or a feeling that no longer exists or never existed.
It’s a homesickness for the places from your past you can’t return to or even those you’ve never been to. Hiraeth can also mean nostalgia for your past self, the people who are long gone, or the emotions you used to feel.
But it can also describe a sense of yearning for imaginary places, feelings, and people – for example, the ones you read about. Sometimes, it feels as if you suddenly take a glance into your previous life and connect with the people and things that existed long ago – or, at least, could have existed."

I remember the times in my life when I tried and mostly failed to put what I was feeling into a small but perfect amount of words.. English has failed me often in regards to suitable terms for many things...
Luckily, I've found many defined by words in other languages.
Today's word has been a strong and ebbing feeling throughout my life. I have always felt like I'm in purgatory, cast away from my true home.. If it is anywhere, I imagine it to be somewhere among the stars and as a part of source.
I no longer ache for it as much as I once did, as I'm certain I will be one with it all again..

No problem...
I lived most of my life nlt realizing the word existed 🙃
It is really neat to look up words that other languages have that have no english equivalent
