You knocked on the wrong door if you came here thinking I will give you a reason to think you are right about T settling for second best.
Second of all, here is some reading comprehension for you, if you are hung up on that old relationship it means you lived through it so I am assuming you are an adult. by now So you are either in college or have a job. So I am wondering how you go on with your life with little to no critical thinking. Yes I am extra petty today so you are in no luck.
So Taylor wrote/recorded YAIL before Clean, within days to couple of weeks. And yes in Clean she does indeed say she is not gonna risk it, but did you stop for a second there and think that what she meant by that is risking a relapse into that old relationship? Thus her being clean from it? And even if you read it as clean from falling madly in love again, you’d think that the opposite feelings that led here to write something as simple as: no proof not much, you saw enough. Imagine a love so peaceful she kept linking it to soothing silence, while everything (mostly towards the end, even if the love was there at some point) in the previous relationship was loud and saturated and anxiety inducing.
And I don’t know about you but I personally think her Maid of Honor speech at Brit’s wedding in 2016 was inspired from her relationship with Karlie, not the toxic one she got clean from years ago
“Real love doesn’t mess with your head,” she says. “Real love just is. Real love just endures. Real love maintains. Real love takes it page by page.”
This was a great day to prove a point:
Do yourself a favor and listen but mostly read the love songs on REP and YAIL again, look into the parallel drawn between the past rs and the one that came after it in Wildest Dreams/Delicate and try to convince yourself that the hesitation did not come from the fact that she was an emotional wreck at some point and started to lose hope in love, queue KOMH after it and see her mentioning the mending of broken bones, or RFI when she says how every love in comparison is a failure.
I know I am not here to convince you because I have seen you messaging people oh so many times. But this is for my own pettiness and a reminder that toxic relationships should stop being fetichized especially when you got another one right before your eyes that she, herself, describes in a truly wonderful way. It was even beyond everyone’s expectations here.
Second freakin best, poor thing
If you want to come at me again insulting Taylor’s intelligence or slandering Karlie, I’ll be here. (:
Looks like this second best was way more worth the shot than the relationship you are clinging on
Disclaimer: Not attacking D.A. directly. She is obviously living her life in a very chill way these days so good for her. But like… just move on anon maybe? You will get your closure if D ever releases an album.
