I recently decided to hop on the bandwagon and read "Milk and Honey" by Rupi Kaur. I had no idea just how much a book could have an impact on a reader. These poems are the words that you think but don't know how to say. It's no secret that girls in college go through many situations, good and bad, that spark many different feelings. "Milk and Honey" is the perfect book of poems to help a girl understand these situations and feelings.

For the girls being used

"he only whispers i love you

as he slips his hands

down the waistband

of your pants

this is where you must

understand the difference

between want and need

you may want that boy

but you certainly

don't need him"

- Rupi Kaur

For the girls falling in love

"i know i

should crumble

for better reasons

but have you seen

that boy

he brings

the sun to

its knees

every night"

- Rupi Kaur

For the girls who want to be in love, but don't love themselves

"if you are not enough for yourself

you will never be enough

for someone else"

- Rupi Kaur

For the girls stressing about graduating

"most importantly love

like it's the only thing you know how

at the end of the day all this

means nothing

this page

where you're sitting

your degree

your job

the money

nothing even matters

except love and human connection

who you loved

and how deeply you loved them

how you touched the people around you

and how much you gave them"

- Rupi Kaur

For the girls that are falling apart

"if you were born with

the weakness to fall

you were born with

the strength to rise"

- Rupi Kaur

For the girls wondering if he likes you

"don't mistake

salt for sugar

if he wants to

be with you

he will

it's that simple"

- Rupi Kaur

For the girls going through a breakup

"when you are broken

and he has left you

do not question

whether you were

enough

the problem was

you were so enough

he was not able to carry it"

- Rupi Kaur

For the girls trying to win him over

"you mustn't have to

make them want you

they must want you themselves"

- Rupi Kaur

For the girls who don't feel appreciated

"i am a museum full of art

but you had your eyes shut"

- Rupi Kaur

For the girls who can't let go

"the thing

worth holding on to

would not have let go"

- Rupi Kaur

For the girls who are hurt

"i know it's hard

believe me

i know it feels like

tomorrow will never come

and today will be the most

difficult day to get through

but i swear you will get through

the hurt will pass

as it always does

if you give it time and

let it so let it

go

slowly

like a broken promise

let it go"

- Rupi Kaur

For the girls who don't like what they see in the mirror

"accept yourself

as you were designed"

- Rupi Kaur

For the girls who are making the best of their situation

"the world

gives you

so much pain

and here you are

making gold out of it

- there is nothing purer than that"

- Rupi Kaur

For the girls who are happy

"i have

what i have

and i am happy

i've lost

what i've lost

and i am

still

happy

- outlook"

- Rupi Kaur

To every girl

"we are all born

so beautiful

the greatest tragedy is

being convinced we are not"

- Rupi Kaur
