i dive into the well of my body

and end up in another world

everything i need

already exists in me

there’s no need

to look anywhere else

 

- home

 

From Rupi Kaur:

 

home body is a love letter to the self.
i began writing this book at a time i felt completely lost in both my inner and outer world. home body is about what broke my heart. and what put it back together. i wrote while fighting a difficult battle with depression and anxiety. i wrote while getting help. i wrote while getting better. i wrote on days i couldn’t make it out of bed. on days i rejoiced in the company of friends. i wrote when i hurt. and when i cried. i wrote when i found laughter again. i wrote about the support of sisters. i wrote when the world burned from the fires of injustice. i wrote about the hope given to me by community. i wrote when i saw my parents getting tossed out by a world that valued them solely for the labor they produced. i wrote about honoring my mind and body so i could wake up and help build a world that serves all people. home body is how i learned to thunder. roar. and shine.
