Anybody carrying around a load of Sehnsucht lately?

I'm kind of done with it myself.

Sehnsucht

ˈzānˌzo͝oKHt

NOUN

Yearning; wistful longing.

Somehow, without understanding how it happened at all, I found myself with a word of the day news feed. I kind of like it, but wouldn't have any sehnsucht for it if it stopped.

This was one of the offerings I didn't already know.

It fits. I live in Florida and have a sehnsucht for the days of Bob Graham and Lawton Chiles.

And this is a bad paraphrase, that wanting is the cause of all misery.
