Saudade

“The Portuguese call it saudade: a longing for something so indefinite as to be indefinable. Love affairs, miseries of life, the way things were, people already dead, those who left and the ocean that tossed them on the shores of a different land — all things born of the soul that can only be felt.” -Anthony De Sa, author

Everything about this image speaks well to the tone and mood of this word. I don’t know many Portuguese words, but this is one word that I think all Portuguese people know and especially feel.

That is all. As always, thanks for stopping by. ❤
