15 'Milk and Honey' Poems Everyone Should Read
msecnd

One of the most popular books online is called "Milk and Honey." This is a collection of poems written by Rupi Kaur that is split into four distinct sections; the hurting, the loving, the breaking, and the healing. This book explores Kaur's journey though heartbreak and the growth that will inevitably follow. Whether you are going through a heartbreak or just looking for some inspirational words, this book will not disappoint. Here are a few that stuck out the most to me when I read it:


Feeling everything deeply is better than feeling nothing at all.

Know your self worth and never let someone alter it even slightly.

They come back because they know you will still be there waiting for them.


Learn to let go of things that are no longer holding onto you.


Changing the negative aspects of your life into lessons and learning experiences is the first step towards self growth.

As much as you want to reach out to them, know it is best to move on and let it go.

If someone refuses to give one hundred percent for you, don't waste your time explaining to them why things didn't work.

Just because someone else is doing well does not mean you are doing poorly; not every aspect of life is a competition.


Listen to your parents, they know whats best for you, even if it does not seem like it at the time.


There are people that spend their whole life looking for their "soulmate", but the truth is no one knows the legitimacy of soulmates or if they even exist.


Everyone spends a different amount of time to let go of something that was once important to them. Take as long as you need but know you will be okay again one day.

It is okay to miss a person but make sure it does not consume your life.


Moving on is a bittersweet aspect of life, but it is something that is necessary to growing as a person.


Give yourself time to heal but know that eventually it will be time to let go.


As they say, hindsight is 20/20.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
