Hiraeth

And she realized,
“Hiraeth–that thing
she had been longing for
and looking for
since her birth
was NOT a place,
a home,
or a nostalgia.
It was a person
she had never met before,
and that person
was her.”

    “Hiraeth” what an exquisite name for the essence of a thing!

      I love this word and concept. Perhaps, it is because I can relate to it so much!
