Rupi Kaur My Story – Rupi Kaur

Everything she wrote is way too general. There is more to dive into, there has to be. Instead of her writing about how she wants to be in the present over and over, how about describing the present around her. How does she wake up? What surrounds her home? What's inside her home? What does she do to relax or when she's alone? I think people need to stop describing themselves like warriors and survivors and definitely stop making themselves victims and instead open up. Tell me who you are. All I know about Rupi is that she is a woman of color, but you can just google search her for that. Everything is so vague. There's nothing deep here. I wanted to think that as a poet she will develop and become a better writer. Unfortunately, I think she is regressing, because this is the same stuff she has been selling. When her father lived in Japan he'd write Punjabi poetry to Kaur's mother, who practiced painting. [8] At the age of five, Kaur was compelled to take up her mother's hobby of painting; she was given a paintbrush and forced to draw. [9] Her mother wanted to instill this art in her since it was so close to home. [9] Also, Kaur recalled that poetry was a recurrent aspect of her faith, spirituality and everyday life: "There were evenings when my dad would sit around for hours, analyzing a single verse for hours." [10] As a child, Kaur would find herself embarrassed by her mother's accent and try to distance herself. [11] Kaur was generally self-conscious about her identity. [10] Her mother was occasionally distant to Kaur, as a result of her family and culture, particularly when Kaur was on her period; menstruating, alongside her childhood abuse, often left Kaur debilitated. [12] Her relationship with her parents, in particular her mother, became turbulent in her adolescence; there were extensive arguments over mundane activities that Kaur later interpreted as a result of wishing to preserve their original culture. [13] [14] As a young child she witnessed relatives and friends experience domestic violence or sexual abuse; watching her parents be subject to racism, she inferred, resulted in her coy disposition. [15] [16] Her environment growing up led to her developing what she deemed "constant survival mode". [17] a b "Why Do We Love To Hate and Meme Insta-Poet Rupi Kaur?". Vice.

According to Rupi, this is the key to happiness, and closure. This is why this latest book of poetry from Rupi is a nice closure to her trilogy of poetry books, and why I highly recommend you read it.Ferguson, Donna (26 January 2019).

I found this structure to be interesting as it depicts the process of trauma, development, growth, and eventually acceptance. These are inner battles that many Kaurs have had to deal with or will deal with. Rupi has the ability to make you feel like you belong, like she understands our struggle. Mind
