U can grieve and still live life. U can miss loving someone and love others. You can hold onto the good moments and simultaneously the bad moments. You can take the learning from a person you let go off and use it for the better. You can love someone and they may not be the right person. You can wish someone the best and love them from a distance. You can think fondly of someone and never talk to them again.. mysteries of the world…
“Ultimately it comes down to making yourself and the people who can share it with you, in some way, more themselves, to make you more yourself, to make human beings more themselves, and therefore, by extension, better, stronger, more real. Isn’t this the function of all art? I mean, get out of the Western bag, out of the “art for art’s sake,” out of the perfect circle. A perfect circle is a point. It moves not at all. It’s stationary. Let’s get out of that. The function of any art is to move, more deeply, to make us more whoever we are.”
— Audre Lorde, from Notes from Audre Lorde Discussion at Cazenovia Women Writers Center
