The Sun and Her Flowers by Rupi Kaur

Rupi back at it again with words that hit at the core, taking us on a journey of wilting, falling, rooting, rising, and blooming.

1. Each day is a gift, and time is precious. May we treat it that way.

"we have been dying

since we got here

and forgot to enjoy the view

- live fully"

"despite knowing

they won't be here for long

they still choose to live

their brightest lives

-sunflowers"

2. Self-care and self-love. We are stronger than we measure ourselves to be.

"if i am the longest relationship

of my life

isn't it time to

nurture intimacy

and love

with the person

i lie in bed with each night

- acceptance"

"what is stronger

than the human heart

which shatters over and over

and still lives"

3. We stand on the shoulders, hardships, and sacrifices of those that came before us. May we do the same for those who come next.

"our work should equip

the next generation of women

to outdo us in every field

this is the legacy we'll leave behind

-progress"
