“our work should equip
the next generation of women
to outdo us in every field
this is the legacy we'll leave behind

-progress”
― Rupi Kaur, The Sun and Her Flowers

“i want to apologize to all the women i have called beautiful
before i’ve called them intelligent or brave
i am sorry i made it sound as though
something as simple as what you’re born with
is all you have to be proud of
when you have broken mountains with your wit
from now on i will say things like
you are resilient, or you are extraordinary
not because i don’t think you’re beautiful
but because i need you to know
you are more than that”
― Rupi Kaur, Milk and honey

“we are all born
so beautiful
the greatest tragedy is
being convinced we are not”
― Rupi Kaur, Milk and honey

“let it go
let it leave
let it happen
nothing
in this world
was promised or
belonged to you anyway
- all you own is yourself”
― Rupi Kaur, The Sun and Her Flowers
