Rupi Kaur
“The kindest words my father said to me
Women like you drown oceans.”
Rupi Kaur, Milk and honey

“some people might be too stressed out or time poor to be interested in politics or big issues, even if they really affected them, and might readily accept the simplest explanation coming from the loudest voice.”
Jess Scully, Glimpses of Utopia: Real ideas for a fairer world

Rupi Kaur
“do not look for healing
at the feet of those
who broke you”
Rupi Kaur, Milk and honey

“when you meet that person. a person. one of your soulmates. let the connection. relationship. be what it is. it may be five mins. five hours. five days. five months. five years. a lifetime. five lifetimes. let it manifest itself the way it is meant to. it has an organic destiny. this way if it stays or if it leaves, you will be softer. from having been loved this authentically. souls come into. return. open. and sweep through your life for a myriad of reasons. let them be who. and what they are meant.”
Nayyirah Waheed

“Someone can be madly in love with you and still not be ready. They can love you in a way you have never been loved and still not join you on the bridge. And whatever their reasons you must leave. Because you never ever have to inspire anyone to meet you on the bridge. You never ever have to convince someone to do the work to be ready. There is more extraordinary love, more love that you have never seen, out here in this wide and wild universe. And there is the love that will be ready.”
Nayyirah Waheed
