nelly's fairytale

i love seeing best friends goofing around in public. i love seeing couples laughing together. i love seeing little kids walking hand in hand with their parents. i love seeing dogs running happily back to their owners. i love seeing closeness and positive relationships, and knowing all that love is out there

Let’s talk about why ‘The Man’ needs to be on the radio. Of course it’s important to get the fundamental message of the song out there in the world to incite important conversations, but what about on a personal level for women? I just KNOW that this song is going to become a source of strength and empowerment for a lot of women in their daily lives. When I imagine the song being shared in this way, I can’t help but think about the little girl that will hear the song on the drive to school while her dad sits in the drivers seat telling her brother how smart he is. I think of the woman sitting in her cubicle who can overhear her boss giving praise to a male coworker for something she’s done a hundred times with no recognition. I can picture her cracking a smile when she hears the words “I’d be a fearless leader, I’d be an alpha type” coming from a radio somewhere in the office. I seriously believe that ‘The Man’ will speak volumes to women in a really important way, and I’m so grateful that Taylor is giving this song a life.

I’m so, so incredibly proud of Taylor. This is a crazy brave thing to do. To show what she’s been through these years and how she didn’t come out unscathed out of it, but rather how she learned and became a better person, and how she got love and happiness out of it. That is growth, and I’m so proud. So, so proud.

i wish i knew how to explain exactly how i’m feeling

The amount of cuddling I desire is infinite

“Because a song can take you back instantly to a moment, or a place, or even a person.  No matter what else has changed in you or the world, that one song stays the same, just like that moment.  Which is pretty amazing, when you actually think about it.” - Sarah Dessen, Just Listen
