νοσταλγία
hello people!!
a greek title for today..
for 3 different reasons !!
the 1st is, that nostalgia is the theme I'm working on it these days!!
the 2nd is that by random my sister showed me an e-mail that she received from an old friend, who is studying in London now, and what he said was that he is teaching his roommates the word "νοσταλγία", because he believes it's the most beautiful greek word.. (by the way he has a very poetic type of writing)
& the 3rd reason is that the last two days, I'm walking on the streets of Athens & I have this strange feeling that in front of me stands a very peaceful, beautiful, abandoned city. It's the same feeling you have when you leave the island on which you fell in love & and you are standing on the deck watching it getting smaller & smaller..
I don't really know & this mystery is kind of fascinating!!
this is the song..
νοσταλγία: νόστος (=επιστροφή) + άλγος (=πόνος).
Είναι ο πόνος που προκαλείται από την ανικανοποίητη λαχτάρα του γυρισμού.
Have a nice day!!

i had never thought of the beauty of the word νοσταλγία until now. your post really moved me sofia. i am curious to see what you come up with working on nostalgia. i think i feel nostalgia about the things that have passed, but also about the things i am sure i have yet to experience. thank you for your lovely post and song.
love

είναι ωραίο να νοσταλγείς!! ειδικά όταν ξέρεις ότι θα νοσταλγήσεις ξανά και ξανά !! ..
I have to agree with your friend, nostalgia is a very beautiful word.. but most of all it's a very beautiful feeling, bittersweet.. it goes well with that melancholic song.
Thank you for your lovely, touching post..
Kisses**
bittersweet with much more sweet!!
Thank u Anna!!
Many kisses!
antony and the johnsons are one of my favourite bands. i feel i ve lived several lives in my life so far but i will always feel nostalgic of my younghood when everything was pure, simple, unpretentious. when we had less but we were happy cause we had each other.
those old beautiful days.. so, more to come!!
Thanking you and Nileta for starting this chain of inspiration in terms of nostalgia... It's an amazing venture to put into universal words feelings that are conceived only in the personal interpretations of our souls.
My own addition would be this comment by Αλέξης Δαμιανός: "Η νοσταλγία είναι μία μαύρη γάτα που σου καρφώνει τα νύχια στην καρδιά όταν βραδιάζει"
