I’ve been thinking about people who, if they’re either suffering through mental illness or they’re suffering through addiction, they have an everyday struggle, no one pats them on the back every day, but every day they are actively fighting something, but there are so many days that nobody gives them credit for that, and so, how often must somebody who’s in that sort of internal struggle must wanna say to everyone in the room, ’‘you have no idea how close I am to going back to a dark place“, or ”you have no idea“.

So excited that Taylor is going to be the 2022 RSD ambassador that I got the kids together for family photos 💙💛💜❤️💕🖤

ALL TOO WELL: THE SHORT FILM (2021) dir. Taylor Swift

LOVE QUINN You | 3.01 - And They Lived Happily Ever After

But now that we’re done and it’s over I bet you couldn’t believe When you realised I’m harder to forget than I was to leave And I bet you think about me

You know what’s weird is I didn’t get any advice from anyone when I was hosting… which is actually weird because I was like nineteen, so I should’ve been given advice. Yeah, real ball drop on our end. Right?

“My experiences in love have taught me difficult lessons, especially my experiences with crazy love. The red relationships. The ones that went from zero to a hundred miles per hour and then hit a wall and exploded. And it was awful. And ridiculous. And desperate. And thrilling. And when the dust settled, it was something I’d never take back. Because there is something to be said for being young and needing someone so badly, you jump in head first without looking. And there’s something to be learned from waiting all day for a train that’s never coming. And there’s something to be proud of about moving on and realizing that real love shines golden like starlight, and doesn’t fade or spontaneously combust. Maybe I’ll write a whole album about that kind of love if I ever find it.”

I think that’s been my favorite thing about this album, is that it’s allowed to exist on its own merit without it just being, “oh, people are listening to this because it tells them something that they could read in a tabloid.” […] It, to me, feels like a completely different experience.
