By Angelica May 8, 2024 My Art

“The word ‘Hiraeth,’ is a word for homesickness and nostalgia, a longing for a home that never was, perhaps only in your head, a feeling, a sense of something good that you thought existed, but only ever drew breath inside your own imagination, a place that made you feel safe …”
