“what if
there isn't enough time
to give her what she deserves
do you think
if i begged the sky hard enough
my mother's soul would
return to me as my daughter
so i can give her
the comfort she gave me
my whole life”
― Rupi Kaur, The Sun and Her Flowers

“if you tried
and didn’t end up
where you wanted to go
that’s still progress”
― Rupi Kaur, Home Body

“i don’t know what living a balanced life feels like
when i am sad
i don’t cry i pour
when i am happy
i don’t smile i glow
when i am angry
i don’t yell i burn
the good thing about feeling in extremes is
when i love i give them wings
but perhaps that isn’t
such a good thing cause
they always tend to leave
and you should see me
when my heart is broken
i don’t grieve
i shatter”
― Rupi Kaur, Milk and Honey

“yes
it is possible
to hate and love someone
at the same time
i do it to myself
every day”
― Rupi Kaur, The Sun and Her Flowers
