i know this has been talked about a lot but i can’t believe taylor put out nineteen songs where she turns herself inside out, reveals all of her trauma to her listener, and ultimately concludes that she found someone who accepts all of her scheming and even appreciates it, before ending an alternate edition of the album with ‘yeah so I’m a liar. I’ve been an unreliable narrator the entire time. you wouldn’t believe any of my stories if you actually knew who I was. I’m actually too broken to understand. i’m all alone and I can’t be helped.’

unintentional things can be pretty too

”getting thicker skin” is great in theory but I think for some people “get better at handling your thin skin” is gonna be way more helpful advice. I have strong emotional reactions to criticism and they might never go away, but i can continue to try and handle each situation maturely and that’s the important part. Sometimes irrational feelings are chronic and living with them is better than trying to beat yourself up into not having them.

that whole “i dont care” act is dead and tired. you dont have emotions? cool. go seek therapy and be toxic somewhere else
