“you might not have been my first love
but you were the love that made
all other loves seem
irrelevant”
― Rupi Kaur

“for you to see beauty here
does not mean
there is beauty in me
it means there is beauty rooted
so deep within you
you can't help but
see it everywhere”
― Rupi Kaur, Milk and honey

“Every time you
tell your daughter
you yell at her
out of love
you teach her to confuse
anger with kindness
which seems like a good idea
till she grows up to
trust men who hurt her
cause they look so much
like you.”
― Rupi Kaur

“i am water

soft enough
to offer life
tough enough
to drown it away”
― Rupi Kaur, Milk and honey
