Rupi Kaur: I will never have this version of me again

I will never have this version of me again. Let me slow down and be with her.

– Rupi Kaur

This is very beautiful because it’s true. I will never have this version of me again, so let me slow down and be with her/him.

I will never have this version of life or the world again, so let me slow down and be with it.

Let me savor it.

Here, I also notice that whether my personality likes what’s here or not becomes peripheral. That too is part of the version of me I will never have again. I can slow down and be with it.
