it is indeed quite aphoristic and fun to pull individual quotes. but if you want to read “october” by louise glück in its entirety, which i highly recommend, you can find it here

[kvothes]

thinking about louise glück today, who died one year ago this month. if you want a poem about pain and healing in the aftermath of pain, come read “october” with me

Cameron Awkward-Rich,  from "The Child Formerly Known As _________"

[howelljenkins]

having to come to terms with the fact that love is not an everlasting performance in which you attempt to retain the attention of your significant other but rather a release of control and putting faith into them and trusting them to choose to stay with you no matter what you have to offer

[howelljenkins]

to love and be loved is to rest
