It’s not APAD time, but I felt like some of us need to be reminded of this daily ^^

    Oh, I love rupi kaur! I read one of her poems from milk and honey at my friends wedding last year.

      Aw, that’s fantastic!! Did you choose it?
      My friend is going to have a baby girl and we found out as I was re-reading milk and honey because I’d just found the sun and her flowers so I’ve been bombarding her (them) with rupi ^^

        I did. I was maid of honour, and of course I hadn’t even gotten around to writing a speech until I boarded my flight. Luckily I had just bought M&H for another friend as a gift, so I skimmed through it for inspiration. All the usual poetry for weddings is too saccharine for my tastes, but rupi was perfect.

      Isn’t she? I love her so much, she’s so strong yet fragile, and all her poems hit me so hard!
      I just managed to get a copy of the sun and her flowers a couple of weeks ago so I’ve been re-reading and just loving her all over again <3

        Oh that’s awesome! I’ve always meant to peek more into her stuff because whenever I stumble across her poems on Pinterest, they hit me hard. It’s kind of an odd effect, feeling hugged but also punched in the gut at the same time.

          That’s *exactly* the feeling!
          You should follow her on insta, she posts quite a bit ^^

            I do! But I have been rather scattered with Insta lately. I’ll pop in for a second and see a bunch of cute posts and then I’ll pop out and won’t remember to come back for a bit..

    I see everyone appreciating Rupi Kaur but oddly enough, I am an Indian and haven’t heard of her even though I am a reader.
