“i am the first woman in my lineage with freedom of choice. to craft her future whichever way i choose. say what is on my mind when i want to. without the whip of the lash. there are hundreds of firsts i am thankful for. that my mother and her mother and her mother did not have the privilege of feeling. what an honor”
I felt so seen from Rupi’s collection to her mother.
The book as a whole had lots of honest & relatable lines from a broken soul to true love to family to finding self confidence. Let the sunshine on your flowers 🌻
the only thing I don’t like from modern poetry or at least this author is when one sentence that isn’t that profound takes up a whole page “the road to changing the world is never-ending” doesn’t need an entire blank page. Some of the pages didn’t even have a cute drawing to makeup for the lack of content 😕
