Ottessa Moshfegh on Love

I really like this from Narrative Magazine's interview of Ottessa Moshfegh:

10. To quote Auden, “O tell me the truth about love.” We’re all ears.

Love is a psychic force between two beings. If you try to pick it apart, its essential meaning will dissolve. Love acts on you and through you. Love is also a practice. Being creative is an act of love between you and the world.

 I hope to have done this with "Love Stinks." Maybe this is really what writing has done to and for me: find a way to love, not hate existence.
