That line—'the universe said I love you because you are love'—has this magical, almost cosmic feel to it, doesn't it? It's one of those phrases that sticks with you, like a whisper from something bigger than yourself. I first stumbled across it in a poetry compilation, and it immediately resonated. After some digging, I found out it's from a piece by the poet and writer Hafizah Augustus Geter. Her work often blends the personal with the universal, and this line is a perfect example—it's tender, expansive, and deeply affirming.
Geter's writing has this way of making the abstract feel intimate. She’s not just talking about love as an emotion but framing it as something inherent, woven into our very existence. It’s no surprise her words get shared so widely; they have that rare quality of feeling both timeless and urgently present. If you vibe with this line, I’d recommend exploring more of her poetry or even her memoir 'The Black Period'—it’s got the same lyrical depth but with a raw, autobiographical edge. Honestly, discovering her felt like finding a secret room in the house of literature where everything glows a little warmer.
