Milk and Honey

by Rupi Kaur

i was made heavy half blade and half silk difficult to forget and not easy for the mind to follow

YASSS!!!

like your mouth has the gift of reading and i’m your favorite book. find your favorite page in the soft spot between my legs and read it carefully. fluently. vividly. don’t you dare leave a single word untouched. and i swear my ending will be so good.

don’t mistake salt for sugar if he wants to be with you he will it’s that simple

understand the difference between want and need

the longer i stayed the less i loved myself

you must enter a relationship with yourself before anyone else

Self-Love is the best love and the first love

there is a difference between someone telling you they love you and them actually loving you

Words are very different than actions

your body is not his home he is a guest

You do not get to dictate what I do with my body or how it is supposed to look or how I feel about it.

accept yourself as you were designed

you are your own soul mate

if you are not enough for yourself you will never be enough for someone else

your art is about if your heart likes your work if your soul likes your work
