The Hurting Kind | Ada Limon

“I like to call things as they are. Before, the only thing I was interested in was love, how it grips you, how it terrifies you, how it annihilates and resuscitates you. I didn‘t know then that it wasn‘t even love that I was interested in, but my own suffering. I thought suffering kept things interesting. How funny that I called it love and the whole time it was pain.“

—from “Calling Things What They Are“

This is today's poem from my poetry advent calendar—paired with a mug of vanilla chai from my tea advent calendar. 3mo

Caryl I‘ve been reading Ada Limón‘s poetry this year. I love her! This is one of my favorites from her collection

BarbaraJean @Caryl She has been on my list to read for a while! I've read a few of her poems in other places (anthologies, etc.), but I need to prioritize reading one of her collections! 2mo
