How else do you occupy yourself? You stand on a mountaintop. You feel the mist on your skin. You fall in love.

“You write the beginning and then you go back and rewrite the beginning, and you never got off page one. It’s kind of a syndrome, and I have a rash piece of advice which is — Go on, page two, page three, and never look back. Get something finished, no matter how lousy it is. […] Perfectionists cannot get going unless they kind of do violence to their own instincts, and just blast ahead.”

— Ursula K. Le Guin, The Last Interview and Other Conversations

what moved between us was alive

I will speak more plainly: Yes, I am mourning Paul, but most of the time, I am mourning Siri and Paul. I am mourning AND. I am mourning how the AND made me feel in the world. That AND where he and I overlapped. I felt more vivid to myself when I was with Paul. I was living in time, not hovering outside it looking in and trying to understand where these days, these months, have gone. He was always somewhere. He was in the house working downstairs. I could hear his typewriter, or his steady step on the stairs, or a door closing as he left a room, or him calling up to me in his sonorous voice. And even when he was traveling, I could find the name of the hotel where he was staying. I could reach him on the phone. He was there, and what moved between us was alive. The AND matters.”

Healthy love feels safe because it’s consistent, honest, and grounded in who someone already is not because you’ve managed to fix, control, or reshape them into what you need
