“Hiraeth is more than just missing family,” he explained. “It is the land and the people, the smell and the sounds, and more. Like a flavor on your tongue from a fruit that no longer grows. You ache to taste it again, but you cannot, and so you are never satisfied. Hiraeth means to long for a place that is lost to you, or impossible to reach. To know a great part of your soul dwells in a place you cannot be – that is hiraeth.”
