RE: Saudade and other words

This was truly interesting! I assume that you are Portuguese? Nice to meet you!!!

I spent my first time in Lissbon a few months ago for the @steemfest and got in touch or Let’s Say I tried to understand that magical word and came up with my own interpretation

Yes, I am Portuguese, nice to meet you too! :)

That is a beautiful article, thank you for sharing. Saudade can be quite difficult to understand. I often think it's a continuous state of mind and a sort of lifestyle. A teacher of mine once told me her favourite definition of the word was: "Having one's soul in the tide".
