      I think this is one of those things we genuinely need a word for "Nostalgia for events that never occurred" A feeling sharper and more painful than the nostalgia for things you actually had and then lost An emotion powered entirely by the boundless capacity of imagination

      Saudade is translated as "bittersweet", it's a positive emotion and not really what I mean

      Saudade connotes a sense of acceptance, it's almost the opposite of what I mean It's the Wonder Years kind of nostalgia, where part of the emotion is the pain of having lost those things is this feeling of safety that those things are in the past and tucked away in memory

      Like you're happy that your teen years are over because that's right and proper, you wouldn't want them to be different even if they were imperfect, they were a stepping stone to a future you're anticipating That's almost the *opposite* of what I mean

      What I'm talking about is what @BootlegGirl describes as a sense of *desperation*, of terrible fear and dread It's the kind of "nostalgia" in the "Again" of "Make America Great Again" that drives MAGAs to madness and violence

      It's what drives Evan in the play to almost kill himself, and then to build a ridiculous and doomed edifice of lies for the tiniest chance of realizing his mad dream of no longer being alone

      The TV episode that reminds me most of the feeling I'm describing is "Impossible Planet" from Electric Dreams And the word in the title is the main thing about it The hunger for the impossible

      The feeling of nostalgic longing and desire not only for something that didn't happen, but that you fully know did not happen and could not have happened, that was by its nature impossible The intolerability of this knowledge, the self-harming pain of dwelling about it

      The unhinged Resistance liberals who won't shut the fuck up about "Earth-2" where Hillary won and America is a utopia Coming back again and again to a relationship that was abusive bullshit from beginning to end longing for the day when you were happy together that you never had

          That wasn’t a utopia, but definitely a better path than the one we’re currently on.
