sehnsucht

~snowdrop

What do you guys think of sehnsucht? How often do you experience it? I think it’s a million times worse than nostalgia. Still, the implication of a more perfect place is attractive.

I honestly had to look up the word. Yes, nostalgia is much easier to walk away from. Sehnsucht is a beast when it revolves around another person. A delicious, aching beast but a beast nonetheless.
