I know having a Parasocial Relationship with a celebrity is wrongTM but like I can’t be the only one who (healthily) feels motivated to achieve my dreams by listening to Taylor’s songs and her speeches and studying her career… like I didn’t grow up in high income home like she did and my parents in no way are investing any money for my own career but that doesn’t mean I can’t feel inspired by how Taylor didn’t actually have ties to the industry growing up and managed to break through it. In some way I too will break into the academic field I’m aiming for while having no tied to it now. I’ve been living through this woman since I was like 13 and now I’m 23 and after many years of low mental health and depression and feeling lonely I’m at a place in my life where I CAN start chasing my dreams and I actually believe in myself and when I listen to You’re on your own kid or read the lover diary entries I get reminded that I CAN I CAN I CAN I CAN do it. So basically my point is that sometimes living vicariously through celebrities isn’t that bad and actually can benefit your mental health.
Ok but like… the way I can fix him (no really I can) is soooo Tall Guy With Tattoos And Ear Piercings Who Is Also In A Rock Band And Has Glorious Long HairTM coded…
Am i the only one seeing the lowkey ableism when people constantly call Taylor childish and immature as if childhood trauma doesn’t cause arrested development in the brain. This isn’t even about Taylor before someone comes at me for DeFenDiNg her and OMg SwiftIeS it’s actually about how those of us with trauma aren’t even allowed an ounce of empathy or compassions or understanding and the things we write about or even do will constantly be judged and how adults will always have some strict impossible standard to live up to and if we don’t reach that we are failures and automatically worthless and bad. It’s pretty hurtful seeing songs that you relate to being deemed childish when those songs are just… about feelings and emotional vulnerability.
