Sehnsucht

Sehnsucht is a German word that describes a feeling of longing or yearning for something. It's the feeling you get when you want something that you can't have, like when you wish you could visit a place you've never been before or when you miss someone who isn't with you anymore. It's a feeling of sadness or emptiness that you can't quite fill.
