obsessed where stories where it is like. the mistakes are unfixable and the worst thing that could happen happened and nothing can go back to how it was. but there was still love in this and love will continue after this and love endures always.

Assigning you a song that makes white people go nuts (from experience)

Isn’t that reason enough to keep living? To rediscover simple delights one moment at a time, I mean. I used to count them on my fingers, reassuring myself there was still good in the world and reminding myself to keep looking for those blessings. Butterflies, fresh-baked bread, the crunch of leaves on an autumn morning, so on and so forth. They don’t have to be profound. I started with one: the scent of fresh-cut grass. […] What you hold onto is less important than the act of holding on itself. It’s so easy to get lost in ourselves and this world. Sometimes you need to find your way back one tiny miracle at a time. —THE SUNSHINE COURT, NORA SAKAVIC

There is something about classic literature that hits different - which is not to say that modern literature lacks depth - there is just something so incredible about reading something and knowing that these same words were consumed by people decades, centuries before you took your first breath. And they loved and felt the stories the way you do& despite all the time separating you you’re still connected…

who is prev and why does everyone love their tags so much

at a certain point, it became painful to look into his eyes 🤧

might just be me but i think TTPD is absolutely a masterpiece in and of itself. i love how chaotic it is and how cathartic it feels it's just exactly how some others have been describing it, just like journal entries come to life regardless of how cringe or crazy or wild the emotions are cz that's just how life is and it's even more insane for taylor i'm sure cz like

the things they put her through it's amazing she's always gonna come out stronger

not gonna lie if even 1/4 of what she has to go through---if that happened to me (the shitstorm from the public and constant stalking of tabloids and stupid presumptions all over social media hounding you 24/7 and forever being paranoid about safety and security) i'd have to be held back before i start swinging my scythe and throwing molotov cocktails 🔥

oh i agree!! it’s very raw and chaotic which is what makes it so cathartic. it’s funny because i have seen people say they think she could have used an editor/edited more, but to me the feeling of not having an editor is exactly the point. it’s about the messiness of that moment and of that emotional reality. and that comes with its fair share of cringe and craziness and ugliness and imperfections. and taylor is not the exception to that. she could have made the album more palatable but she decided against that. she understands/considers (or seems to understand/consider) that every tiny piece of an experience, not just the curated part, holds inherent value, even when its flawed (or maybe especially when it’s flawed). it’s very fascinating to see the range of reactions to ttpd and how some people appreciate it for the same aspects that make other people dislike it. i honestly get why the album isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. and it doesn’t have to be. it doesn’t try to be. it’s very much an anthology in that sense. a collection of more or less related vignettes put together for a specific kind of intended reader (like lots of artistic works). a way to get glimpses into many different things without trying to tell one definite story but many stories that can add up to more but don’t have to. idk i like it, and with every listen i like it a little more.

not now mom i’m wasting my life on a website the entire internet believes to be dead

I just want to be surrounded by so much love in my life. And not just relationships. Love for my job, my home, the stars, the sunsets, the place I live where ever in the world that is. I want to experience love in all forms
