The best thing I’ve done for myself is to never download tik tok

“You fail only if you stop writing.”

— Ray Bradbury

girl help i’m having creation ideas above my skill level

“You’re so quiet” yee I wish you were too

Every villain ever.

Me: this character is a horrible person.

Also me: I love them so much.

Men, especially cis straight white men, saying “what if it was the other way around huh?” with literally zero concept of power dynamics or historical context is one of the most boring things in existence

i be so in love with the fake scenarios i create in my head

"If I did something good, I didn't do it correctly.

If I did something brave, I did it for the wrong reasons.

If I stood up for myself, they said I was throwing a tantrum"

- Taylor Swift, 2019 -

When will we stop treating women's reactions to offenses as worse than the offenses themselves?

Imagine being this beautiful:

They are the sh*t, and they know it.

"It's ridiculous to say, 'I don't care what anyone says about me,' because that's not possible. But you can decide whose opinions matter more and whose opinions you put more weight on"

- Taylor Swift -

no offense but your struggle is valid no matter how many people have it worse than you

"I didn't have it in myself to go with grace."

- T.S, 'My Tears Ricochet'

If there is one song that accurately portrays the downfall and tragedy of their friendship, it's this one.

Scorched earth only extends so far.

When I was younger, I was always fascinated by how people living through major events throughout history were always so focused on their day to day lives. When I read diaries and primary sources, people would be talking about huge events with worldwide significance but they would just be...living their lives. Like COME ON a world war is happening and your main area of focus is how the rationing sucks and how you want to go to dances and stuff after All This Is Over?

But I get it now.

Now I understand.

the sheer amount of quiet i need in order to be able to function as a person is ridiculous

"Why do you have to put down my dreams, so you're the only thing on my mind?"

I have reason to believe that 'Tell Me Why' is one of the most powerful songs Taylor Swift has written.

What makes this song great is its versatility; the lyrics can be applied to any situation wherein an abusive power dynamic between two parties is involved. TS described it as being about a tug of war in which "someone always kind of has the upper hand." With that in mind, the perspectives are endless. Depending on whom you talk to, this song could be about gender, racial, or wealth inequality, classism, even.

This versatility is what helps a song maintain its relevance. It's what makes some songs timeless. Music that isn't shackled to specific eras or circumstances has the capacity to be appreciated longer, and by wider audiences, because it doesn't shut people out. This is the music that can live on forever and ever. To me, that's power.

It is this style of songwriting that TS has mastered - that delicate balance between confession and ambiguity in her lyrics that gives you a sense of something she might have experienced, but also isn't so personal as to exclude the possibility of that experience being echoed by millions of other people.

This is Taylor's unique talent, and 'Tell Me Why' exemplifies it perfectly.

I'll say it, since no one else seems to be ready for this conversation:

His legs are f****** amazing.

They're perfect. I can't believe this conversation hasn't been had yet.
