I need a word for the turmoil in your soul when “being happy to go back to your home but at the same time being sad for leaving it”.

Dual citizenship, I live in one country and been visiting the other. It’s not just that feeling you get when you’re about to head home after a nice vacation, this is a deeper conflict of emotions at play.

I think I’m looking for something that encompasses the German “Sehnsucht”, Portuguese “saudade” and Japanese “mono no aware”.

@JuliusGoat @Lazarou (disclaimer, you’re awesome, yes this is a wellackshually, sorry, but i have a point i think)

I think the “bribed” but actually covers for a deeper evil - that these fuckers ALREADY agree with those positions, so the money is to ease their paths, generally backslap, and affirm rather than to persuade. Surely there is a 27-syllable German word that captures this slight distinction, #deutschebahn #deutschland #deutschsprechenden #deutschepost #DeutscheGrammatik ?

Holy CRAP but I love words like this. This is like the etymologically karmic opposite of "lukewarm." Just lovely. #bookstodon #wordstodon
