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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
