The Loss of Poetry @mooneyedandglowing - Tumblr Blog

“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

“Inconvenient truths are the salt of literature. They don’t guarantee that the results will be good, but it’s where words derive their power and flavor.”

The way this takes me back so hard to the time of the friend, the hot day in August, the first time he kissed me + apologized, how I'd listen to this on repeat the whole way through, all those months from the beginning, as if I knew what was going to happen from the very start, how I already knew what I felt, what I would feel, how I knew what I'd seen, as if a song like this could protect me from it all + keep me untouched, how now my heart aches + I'll never understand everything I will never get to know, how I ignored so much because I didn't want to be made responsible for it or made to answer him, how ugly that is, how I played my own part well, with a smile + a wish.
