Every so often, a rare breed of poets takes this world by storm. They write with such rawness and passion that you can’t help but feel their words come to life on paper. I’ve dabbled with this particular style of writing but been far from mastering it. Poetry is not easy to write. It takes lots of practice, skill, and tremendous amounts of vulnerability. I’m always in awe of poets who can do all three naturally. Especially ones who create and express themselves boldly, fearlessly, and authentically. Two poets I’m really feeling right now who are doing big things are Rupi Kaur and Amanda Lovelace. These young women are fire. The words they’ve written speak to the soul and are a source of healing, realness, and courage, particularly for women. I love that they don’t hold back and whether you’re into poetry or not, these young women are poets to pay attention to. Check out their work.

We chilled at my place a few times, had a few phone conversations, and exchanged occasional texts, but eventually he stopped responding to me
