Hiraeth (Welsh) -
homesickness
a deep, bittersweet feeling of longing and nostalgia that goes beyond simply missing a place or person.
A journal of some sort, because I don't have friends to talk to.
It encompasses a sense of melancholy and wistfulness for a past that can't be recaptured.
''Hiraeth gives a name to that sense of incompleteness you feel when you're acutely aware of something missing in your life. Something you've left behind in the past - a home, a sense of feeling at home in yourself, an out-grown dream - or maybe an ideal you've invented that can never be realised, or a hope that perpetually eludes you as the future unfolds. At its core, hiraeth boils down to an awareness of the presence of absence, kindling a feeling in which pain and joy are braided too tightly to untangle.''

A Kind of Love: Redeemed
They told her she was too far gone. She almost believed them. Havillah May - the pastor's daughter who disappeared in the dark. Shame drove her out of the only home she'd ever known. The silence that followed nearly buried her. Now, a year later, she's back - not to explain, not to justify, but to quietly rebuild what she thought was lost forever: her voice, her faith, and maybe... herself. She doesn't expect God to still want her. She doesn't expect anyone to stay. She definitely doesn't expect to feel whole again. But grace doesn't wait for perfect conditions. And healing rarely comes in straight lines. In a small house with a garden full of lilies, with the help of unexpected friends, whispered prayers, and pages she never meant to share - Havillah begins to believe in a kind of love that doesn't flinch at brokenness. A kind of love that stays. A kind of love that redeems.Complete

Hiraeth is a Welsh concept of longing for home. 'Hiraeth' is a word which cannot be completely translated, meaning more than solely "missing something" or "missing home." 🔞🔞🔞🔞🔞🔞🔞🔞🔞🔞 I totally suck at summaries. Please read first two chapters to determine if you liked the story or not.Complete
HIRAETH // Captain Puffy X Reader
PHANTASM SERIES BOOK 3 --- Hiraeth (Welsh pronunciation: [hɪraɨ̯θ, hiːrai̯θ]) is a Welsh word for longing or nostalgia, an earnest longing or desire, or a sense of regret. The feeling of longing for a home that no longer exists or never was. A deep and irrational bond felt with a time, era, place or person. --- You were close enough that you could see the crew scurrying about on deck now. They looked as ragged as the ship - no sense of unity about them other than that they were all standing on deck together, swords brandished as you approached. You scanned over them and felt suddenly grateful for your sailing uniform - some of those pirates didn't even have shoes. Simon strode the deck, scanning through the ranks for the captain of the Ghost. You had been given some indication as to what she looked like, but when she parted herself from the ranks of her crew, you weren't quite ready for what she actually looked like. They didn't do her justice on the wanted posters back home. She was short, but powerfully built. You could see ram horns sticking out from underneath her extravagant hat, and her coat was a bright blood red - the gold trim faded somewhat. You were most focused on her hair though - pure white and absolutely massive, it looked like a cloud around her head. Stern eyes finished the look, and you couldn't help but be a little bit entranced - this was the kind of person that people were scared to make eye contact with. Simon didn't seem all that frightened when he came to stand on the edge of your own deck, facing her over the narrow strip of sea that separated you - and you were grateful. If you were captain, you didn't know if you would be able to look her in the eye.Complete
