Desperately longing for
Thank you

Hi, Others may disagree, but I don't think desperation necessarily implies hopelessness. I think of it as trying every possibility in a sort of reckless way, caution to the wind - as opposed to calmly planning a strategy in an organized way, which will help you to achieve your goal. The "longing" implies deep emotion.

- I suppose we must say that desperately trying would be quite different from desperately longing .
- In the latter, the emotion may be so intense that it renders the person unable to take any practical measures to achieve the goal, so he just does a lot of very hard wishin' and hopin'.
