Being 15 Is Normal But Being Born In 2010 Is Not Hope This Helps

i couldn’t care less that taylor isn’t a vocal powerhouse because her voice feels like home to me. it feels like a soft warm blanket or a hug from your mom or the bed in your childhood room. it’s beautiful and earnest and unbridled and uniquely her and i wouldn’t trade it for the world

thinking about this comment and reply under amos' eras post

also imagine thanking a man for being so horrible that he’s the reason she felt all these awful emotions that turned into these songs like as great as the album is and probably my fav of hers u will never catch me thanking an emotionally abusive man who has a pattern of treating women like shit

yeah like i'm sorry but ttpd is my favorite album of all time and it's not because of the men who caused her to feel those things (they can rot in hell) it's because SHE distilled core womanhood musically in a way that spoke to my soul

“and then it was bought by me”

"You should find another guiding light, but I shine so bright" is insane and hurts a lot if I think about that lyric for more than 2 seconds

you know what’s getting incredibly old? the way some “fans” expect taylor to be their perfect entertainment robot. back in the day, we would spend several months — if not years — enjoying the content we got, rather than demanding more. we’re so ridiculously lucky to be fans of an artist who tries to surprise and delight us at every turn, who gives us so much content to pour over. she doesn’t merely exist for our own consumption, she’s a human being who exists outside of us. please recognise that.

ppl love to talk about swifties "turning on" joe after he and taylor broke up but that's not shocking to me at all...fandoms will do that when their fave breaks up with whoever they're dating lmao. I am more interested in the fact that a ton of swifties seemed to start liking joe MORE after they broke up and that the ones who started liking him tended to be ppl who disliked/were neutral about him when they were actually dating. imagine if after taylor and calvin broke up a bunch of swifties started calling him a poor meow meow and saying everyone needed to stop calling him "calcium harvest" bc it's really rude.

art will save you, being unreasonably passionate about something niche will save you, letting past sources of joy show you the way back to yourself will save you, earnestness over composure will save you, the natural world will save you, caring for something bigger than yourself will save you, daring to be seen will save you, kindness not as a whim but a principle will save you, appreciation as a practice will save you, daring to try something new will save you, grounding will save you, love will save you, one good nights sleep will save you

Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you.
