“i do not want to have you
to fill the empty parts of me
i want to be full on my own

i want to feel so complete
i could light a whole city
and then
i want to have you
cause the two of
us combined
could set
it on fire”
― Rupi Kaur

No matter what sort of difficulties, how painful experience is, if we lose our hope, that's our real disaster.”
