saudade:

n, the feeling of longing for someone or something who you love and which is lost

Jasey Rae wasn’t beautiful. Jasey Rae wasn’t a romantic soul.
She wasn’t overlooked. She wasn’t adored. She wasn’t forgotten.
She did not fill out stereotypes. She did not disprove them.
Jasey Rae wasn’t even Jasey Rae.


The story of Jasey Rae is one massively misunderstood. She was viewed as an icon. She wasn’t the love of his life. She was just a girl, who caught the eye of a boy. It was not unique. It was not special.


It was just beautiful.
