what’s the difference between “wistful” and “melancholy”?
Hi CG
To me, melancholy would be more generally depressed or sad than wistful. Wistful also seems more focused (i.e. a longing or yearning for something specific).
.
Can yearning for youth be considered wistful?
Hi CG
Yes, I’d say that would be fine.

Ah, thanks!
