“You must want to spend the rest of your life with yourself first.”

milk and honey by Rupi Kaur
This book is so insufferable. I'm not saying this is not a good book, but surely not suitable for someone in mid 20s. If you are 17-19, then yes. But the chapter of 'the hurting' is depicting a childhood trauma of her upbringing, which perhaps most women can relate to.
But I do still need to be honest, my whole worlds crumble over the first chapter. The trauma she captured, surely is heartbreaking and soul-wrenching. I am not saying this because I'm a woman, but no one in this world, deserved to be violated that harsh and that young.
I think (Forgive me) my little flower princess isn’t talked about enough!
I understand it is an unfinished song that John would have polished if he had more time, but at its current state it’s so damn catchy. It was my second most listened to song last year!!
Also, my dad has this cassette!! He loves milk and honey so much <3 I will post it later
"Voglio scusarmi con tutte le donne che ho definito belle prima di definirle intelligenti o coraggiose.
Scusate se ho fatto figurare le vostre semplicissime qualità innate come le prime di cui andare fiere quando il vostro spirito ha sbriciolato montagne.
D'ora in poi dirò cose come siete resilienti o siete straordinarie,
non perché non vi ritenga belle,
ma perché siete ben più di questo."
Rupi Kaur
"This is what love does and continues to do. It tastes like honey to adults and milk to children." ~ Rumi
