Quotes by Kat Helgeson (?)

“i thought grief would insert itself in the middle and never leave.

i know better now.
stanzas are for quitters
punctuation is for the brave.
If love is a semicolon then grief is a comma:
it won't ever stand alone,
but it will give you one breath,
in.”
― Kat Helgeson, Gena/Finn
