“i do not weep
becasuse I'm unhappy
i weep because I have everything
yet I'm unhappy”
― Rupi Kaur, The Sun and Her Flowers

“I love that about us
how capable we are of feeling
how unafraid we are of breaking
and tend to our wounds with grace
just being a woman
calling myself
a woman
makes me utterly whole
and complete”
― Rupi Kaur, Milk and honey

“I long
for you
but you long
for someone else
I deny the one
who wants me
cause I want someone else”
― Rupi Kaur, The Sun and Her Flowers

“did you think i was a city
big enough for a weekend getaway
i am the town surrounding it
the one you've never heard of
but always pass through
there are no neon lights here
no skyscapers or statues
but there is thunder
for i make bridges tremble
i am not street meat i am homemade jam
thick enough to cut the sweetest
thing you lips will touch
i am not police sirens
i am the crackle of a fireplace
i'd burn you and you still
couldn't take your eyes off of me
cause i'd look so beautiful doing it
you'd blush
i am not a hotel room i am home
i am not the whiskey you want
i am the water you need
don't come here with expectations
and try to make a vacation out of me”
― Rupi Kaur, Milk and honey
