Oh, and:

saudade:
a portuguese word considered untranslatable. one definition: yearning so intense for those who are missing, or for vanished times or places, that their absence is the most profound presence in one's life. a state of being, rather than merely a sentiment.

saudade. the most perfect thing i've read in a long time. thanks for finding the word that defines how i move through the world, still existing, but ultimately, indescribably lacking.
