tortured heart

I knew it, I knew you really does feel like looking in the mirror after a long time of not seeing yourself, and then finally recognizing the person you used to know and it feels all okay again

The funny thing about people acting like Taylor had lost all of her songwriting abilities when showgirl came out is that she put out the most eloquent, lyrically dense 31-track album the year before. She put out songs that said things like “say it once again with feeling how the death rattle breathing silenced as the soul was leaving, the deflation of our dreaming leaving me bereft and reeling, my beloved ghost and me sitting in a tree d-y-i-n-g” the year before and people thought her songwriting abilities had just vanished? God forbid a woman want to have fun and write something campy after pouring out her deepest, darkest secrets

watching the toy story movies while i wfh and i’m sick to my stomach thinking about taylor relating to this forgotten toy who was passed off put on a shelf as a collectors item and then learned to be loved again
