Rupi Kaur wrote this collection of poems, Milk and Honey and my daughter gave me a copy for Christmas. Rupi takes us through a journey split into four sections: the hurting, the loving, the breaking, the healing. There were parts I grappled with, didn't entirely relate to - but her underlying honest emotion I found very relatable, especially towards the end. I read it in a day and didn't keep any quotes, but I skimmed over it and found a few short enough to celebrate here that I really liked (short being a criteria to some degree - for the sake of expedience.) You should check Kaur's work out. Her drawings are wonderful companions to her lovely words.

no it won't be love at first sight when we meet it will be love at first remembrance cause i've seen you in my mother's eyes when she tells me to marry the type of man i'd want to raise my son to be like

accept that you deserve more
than painful love
life is moving
the healthiest thing
for your heart is
to move with it

it takes grace
to remain kind
in cruel situations

how you love yourself is
how you teach others
to love you
