“And yet I was never repelled enough to stop trying for love. Never repelled enough to turn away from desire, which was pain’s arbiter. It was something new, and something new to write about. I wanted to be known even in my abjection, to be witnessed by an audience in order to be certain that what I felt was real. If I was to be wounded, then let me be a wounded woman. I would wear it.” 💌 (Pop Song: Adventures in Art and Intimacy by Larissa Pham) 🪷 #HerBooksWereRead
