” if you were born with the weakness to fall, you were born with the strength to rise”
— Rupi Kaur.
Hello and welcome to my blog! Ever since I was a little girl, I have always found that I had my own little special way to express myself. This was called poetry! As I grew older and began to deal with new emotions and face different situations, I began to seek solitude and comfort in writing my own personal poems, allowing me to unload how I was feeling and more importantly make sense of them. When I stumbled across the poetry book ” Milk and Honey”, I found myself faced with the reality that I was not alone! Others too such as Kaur use poetry to express their raw emotions using simple, straightforward and often blunt language.
Being a girl of Indian heritage, Rupi stood out to me as an author and poet. It is difficult to say the least to find writers to relate to, when most are not of the same ethnic background as you, as so may not write about topics which are relevant to you. Simply the fact that Rupi is of Indian heritage inspires me, as it paves the path fro other young Indian females such as myself in the writing industry, for which I am grateful.
