“That’s the problem with drinking, I thought, as I poured myself a drink. If something bad happens you drink in an attempt to forget; if something good happens you drink in order to celebrate; and if nothing happens you drink to make something happen.” - Charles Bukowski
Illustrated my favourite Neil Gaiman quote for writers. :-) (and thanks to Neil for his permission)
It’s as true now as when I first said it…
“Faster, faster. Until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.”
Hunter S. Thompson
Saudade
For my first untranslatable word, I picked Saudade. I understand Portuguese and I believe I can use saudade correctly. However, I’d love your input in defining it.
Saudade is a unique Galician-Portuguese word that has no immediate translation in English. Saudade describes a deep emotional state of nostalgic longing for an absent something or someone that one loves. It often carries a repressed knowledge that the object of longing might never return. It’s related to the feelings of longing, yearning.
What has caused you to feel saudades? How would you describe the feeling?
“You may be poor, but the one thing nobody can take away from you is the freedom to fuck up your life whatever way you want to.”
