9 Poems From Rupi Kaur's New Book "The Sun And Her Flowers" That Will Make You Feel

In Rupi Kaur's new book "The Sun and Her Flowers", Kaur pulls at your heart strings and leaves you reminiscing about your past loves. This poetry book is written with raw passion and emotion; not only will this article have your emotions running, but Kaur lifts you up with her self-confidence and helps you find healing for yourself. Not only is "The Sun and Her Flowers" a must-read, but so is her freshman poetry collection "milk and honey".

1.

We all deserve someone who is willing to stay, who won't just leave when the going gets tough. Rupi Kaur reminds us gently that while we may want someone who did leave us that we don't need them, nor do we deserve someone who isn't 100% on our side.

2.

In this poem, Kaur captures that feeling after the end of a relationship, when all you wish is to be with that person. You become jealous of their friends who still get to spend time with that person. After going to them with everything, to not being able to go to them is hard. They became a comfort and losing that sense of comfort sucks.

3.

All too often I find myself wishing I were in the future. I can't wait for the days when I am finally done with college, sadly this doesn't happen overnight. It is a process. The same goes for self transformations. Recovery after depression is also a process, while it would be great to wake up one day and not be depressed it doesn't work that way.

4.

The answer is nothing. After being hurt, and having our hearts broken, we still love. We may be more cautious about who we love, how fast we love, or how we show our love, but we still love with the same magnitude as before. The strength that not only our hearts show, but we as humans show is incredible. It may take time, but it is a process.

5.

Sometimes to experience the highest of highs, you must experience the lowest of lows. If every moment of life was amazing, then life wouldn't be the roller coaster that it is. It is okay to break, because sometimes that is exactly what is needed to blossom into the best version of yourself.

6.

Mothers are why and how we exist, without them we are nothing. They give up nights of good sleep, money, time, their sanity, sometimes even their own well being, and they expect exactly nothing in return. Mothers are the reason this world goes around.

7.

Moving on can be so difficult. It means that your past relationships are actually over. I, myself, have trouble accepting things that I don't want to be true, but we also owe it to ourselves to move on and continue our lives. Kaur captures this hard transition in this poem

8.

Kaur understands the uniqueness that everyone has. Everyone brings something a bit different to the table and that is what is so beautiful about this world. There is not a single person in this world that is just like you. Don't doubt yourself, because you are so capable of so much more than you know.

9.

The only person that you can 100% rely on is yourself. It is important to find love for yourself and love the home you live in. You are whole all by yourself. You don't need someone to complete you.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
