"HIRAETH"

~   (hɨraɪ̯θ), noun | A Welsh, untranslatable feeling, hiraeth is loosely described as a homesickness for a home you cannot return to anymore or a place, which never even existed. Connotations of sadness, yearning, profound nostalgia, and wistfulness are imbued into the state of hiraeth. Overall this beautiful, but painful longing is a an expression of an empty desire and grief over a past life or place. It is the ultimate signifier of a bond, which has ceased to exist.   (via WORDSNQUOTES)

EVIL...

"EVIL IS LIKE A SHADOW. IT HAS NO REAL SUBSTANCE OF ITS OWN, IT IS SIMPLY A LACK OF LIGHT. 

YOU CANNOT CAUSE A SHADOW TO DISAPPEAR BY TRYING TO FIGHT IT, STAMP ON IT, BY RAILING AGAINST IT… 

YOU MUST SHINE LIGHT ON IT."

You wonder...

"YOU WONDER HOW

YOU CAN FEEL SO FULL

AND STILL SO EMPTY,

AS IF THE ENTIRE SKY

WASN’T WITHIN YOU,

AS IF A GALAXY ISN’T BORN

EACH TIME WE ALLOW

SOMEONE NEW INSIDE."
