how had i ever convinced myself that rupi kaur is a bad poet? 
this collection is exquisite. 
poetry written in freeverse, and with an accessible language isn't below me, it is still above me. 

rupi kaur deals with a multitude of topics in here, ranging from love, relationships, family, to her personal experiences with abuse and sa, self-hatred, growing out of the toxicity to love herself, culture, immigration, feminism, and a myriad of other political issues that need to be talked about. i am so glad i read this.

There were some poems that I really enjoyed reading, there is something comforting within the depressing poems.  There were a few that I didn’t care for but the poems seemed blunt and to the point.

“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 😕
