is there swag in the suffering

[sadiahakim]

You suffer because you expect love to come back in ways familiar to your heart, in shapes recognizable to your hands, in forms accustomed to your eyes. You're in pain not just because you're unloved, but because you're waiting for love to return in the exact form it left. You’re holding onto a specific image of love, how it once looked, felt, or sounded, rather than allowing it to come to you in new, unfamiliar, or even unexpected ways. Maybe it's there. It always has been. But you deny to acknowledge its presence just because it's not as per your expectations.

“The bottom line is this: You write in order to change the world, knowing perfectly well that you probably can’t, but also knowing that literature is indispensable to the world. The world changes according to the way people see it, and if you alter, even by a millimeter, the way people look at reality, then you can change it…If there is no moral question, there is no reason to write. I’m an old-fashioned writer and, despite the odds, I want to change the world”
