I'm Taking My Body Back | Rupi Kaur | TEDxKC

[@slstephlane]

I never realized but it is like someone is breaking into your home. They really do take something from you, your voice, your sanity, your sense of self, your ability to love. To this day I still see his eyes in the heads of other people. I still see that truck. I didn't realize why I breathe heavy in parking lots. It took years to piece back what only took 5 minutes to destroy. It is my body. It is my soul. It is my spirit. It is my home not his.

@@NinjaToe hi. I wish you are ok. I just want to tell you that, you can do it. You can, and you will, survive that. Your life will be like parisians roses in the summer, with fresh air kissing your hair and you feeling stronger than ever. And still, being loved. YOU WILL BE LOVED. YOU ALWAYS WERE, AND YOU ALWAYS WILL. dont worry, love yourself, be patient with yourself, but dont give up. YOU WILL DO IT.

[@duda2672]

Today a classmate brought Rupi's book to class, and I saw one of the things that I want to keep in my memory forever. The translation to the book title to Portuguese is "Outros jeitos de usar a boca" which basically means "Other ways to use your mouth", the title obviously intrigued the girls in my classroom and one of them asked if she could take a look at the book. When she took it and read it, her face expression was so amazing that the other girls wanted to take a look at it too, so each one read it and passed it on to the other. When I talked about this to my mom, I tried to not sound dramatic, but how I could not? I saw on first hand a sign that our society is changing and teenage girls are making it change, just by being interested in a book that doesn't talk about a superficial love story that doesn't add up to someone's intellect is already monumental, and the best thing is the fact that they've read it and felt inspired, felt like they needed to change reality. So I want to thank Rupi Kaur for writing Milk and honey and for being this amazing inspiration that she is, what happened today happened because of your work and me and my classmates couldn't be more thankful.

I remember coming across Rupi when she posted the image of her lying on bed whilst on her period. Something about this intrigued me and made me want to know more about her. It led me to follow her on Instagram and I started reading excerpts from her book that she posted. That was a couple of years ago and only now have I come across her TED talk. I have no words after watching this, I was taken to another place and was captivated. Her words, her voice, everything about her presence blew me away. How a person so young can experience so much and hold so much wisdom. I always knew she had a book but I am too intrigued right now, I have just bought it online and I cannot wait to read it. I am writing this on the small chance you may read it but thank you Rupi for your unique insight and take on the body and world. :)

[@geenadavis4993]

“You broke into my home and it never felt like mine again.” That line shook me up. 4 years old. I couldn’t even spell the word home. I couldn’t even spell the word ‘self.’ I’ve never felt at home. And I’ve never known myself. I don’t even remember the act, but my body knows. Self esteem has always been some abstract idea. I rescued my little girl. I went into that dark house she was left in, and there she was, just waiting for someone to come get her. To pick her up out of that bed and hold her tight and run far far away. I’ve never put her down since then. I am her mommy and daddy now. I will always be her mommy and daddy for as long as I live. Right now she needs to cry so I will let her cry. Self esteem no longer an abstract idea. 2 parts separated and reunited. A chipped cup but still, a cup nonetheless. I pour my experiences negative and positive into our cup. I pour our achievements. I pour the love those around us offer. It doesn’t all slip through and spill onto the floor. The rich and bold flavors; the liquids that make up our life, fill our cup. There is self. There is love. There is home.

This isn't poetry. I don't know what it is, but it ain't poetry. She doesn't write poetry and I don't think she would even be able to define the word poetry.

[@ColorMeInPink0]

+AminTheMystic Her style of writing is the antithesis of Old English poetry, but to say she isn't a poet, I think, is an exaggeration. She uses enjambment in her work and even in her speech, which some people don't like and that's fine. I've noticed the style has become contemporary and people tend to dislike anything like it at first. Idk I just thought I'd mention that. lol feel free to ignore me.

[@AminTheMystic]

ColorMeInPink0 Do you know what poetry means? It is rhythmic writing forms and aesthetic language used to express feelings or ideas. Her writing is neither rhythmic or aesthetical. On top of that, her language is cliche. Her imagery is non-existent to poor. So how is she a poet? - - "She uses enjambment" Lol! I don't think you know what that is... were you trying to sound impressive? - - Let me say it again: Poetry is writing rhythmic writing. If it aint that it aint poetry. It is like being Britiney Spears and not being able to sing.

[@hindisikhnewaalaa]

And she's unafraid to share her voice with the world. I've always felt a satisfying flow when in the midst of writing as the words come to me and surprise my mind and heart with natural harmony, but after taking on a more "stable" degree and path in uni for myself, she makes me want to reclaim my roots and what I am most proud of - my ability to write. Thank you for showing me it is possible, Rupi.

[@lunarcryptid]

This really hit home for me. After my assaults, I would shower in the dark, I'd abuse myself, I hated everything about myself, and it took a long time for me to turn my pain into art. Rupi, you are such an inspiration to me. You make me feel less alone. And it's amazing

[@Jason-ji4sy]

Rupi is yet another representative at the forefront of human evolution. A publicly well received poet that's been forged in the crucible of her pain and experience, yet brave enough and apt enough to not only see and accept her truth, but also articulately share it with the world. She is a perfect modern day example of what Jordan B. Peterson (another forefront evolutionary human) has defined in his work: "Maps of Meaning". She has reconciled with her shadow self and has come out the other side, truly formidable, yet now able to fully comprehend compassion as well. Carl Jung's legacy continues... Humanity is finally pushing past it's late "juvenile adolescent" state and is breaching into the realm of self-awareness and understanding, and not a moment too soon. Know thyself applies, not just to our individuality, but our entire collective as well.
