I'm listening to Taylor Swift.

And you can't stop me.

I think she's a mind reader sometimes. Maybe that's why some people don't like her, she hits too close to home. Because seriously, she writes about what we all want: a happy ending. It's not cheesy and it's not stupid. I was at dinner the other night and we were talking about Taylor Swift and I said that she writes all her own songs and somebody said "you can tell." And I'm just not sure what that's supposed to mean. Her songs are lame? You feel so low you can't feel nothing at all. Who the heck hasn't felt like that? Who hasn't had a crush on someone that seems too perfect? Who doesn't want to love someone with such a strong passion that it makes you crazy? And I know Our Song was WAY overplayed, but who doesn't want a relationship like that? Yeah, she sings about love. And yeah, she's like 18. But seriously? I think she's a genius. She hits the nail on the head with every song. That's how people who are in love or who want to be in love or who just got out of love actually feel. And I think the best part about Taylor Swift is that she never gives up. She doesn't sing about slitting her wrists or swearing off men even when she gets her heart broken...again. She has faith in love. She believes that there's someone out there for her. And she's giving the rest of us hope too. Because that's really what we need, I know it's what I need. I need to believe that where I am right now is going to lead me to where I'm supposed to be, to who I'm supposed to be with. And I need to believe that all this heartache and sadness and lonliness will be forgotten when I find the one I've been looking for. And until I find him, Taylor Swift is gonna be my bff.

  1. It always feels good to be around people who understand you. Listening to her sing is like having her with you - feeling your pain, joy, hope. I'm glad you have a caring roommate and Taylor to be your daily BFFs. Don't forget you've got a lot of people who care about you and are praying daily for you. There IS someone special picked out just for you...someday you'll know who it is! I'm so proud of you for being patient and still having faith to wait for God's chosen one. I love you <3
