5 promises before turning 30.

Never let anyone set you in "walking on eggshells" mode. EVER.

Own your mistakes.

Stay true to yourself.

Never decide when emotional. 

Long-term over the short-term. 

[prepwalker]

At peace with timing.

People are special somewhat. All of us. But it is timing that completely transforms everything. There is no magic in people but there is something mystical-even whimsical- in the timing of the universe.

I don’t blame you for hating me, I hated myself way before you did.

The lights. The bridge of Don’t Blame Me. The fireworks during This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things. Karyn. There are 13 MILLION reasons why we love the reputation Stadium Tour and because of YOU, it just won the People’s Choice Award for The Concert Tour of the year!!

Speak Now Prologue

One of my favorite prologue eve.

'Speak now or forever hold your peace', the words said by preachers at the end of wedding ceremonies all over the world, right before the vows. It's a last chance for protest, a moment that makes everyone's heart race, and a moment I've always been strangely fascinated by. So many fantasize about bursting into a church, saying what they'd kept inside for years like in the movies. In real life, it rarely happens. Real life is a funny thing, you know. In real life, saying the right thing at the right moment is beyond crucial. So crucial, in fact, that most of us start to hesitate, for fear of saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. But lately what I've began to fear more than that is letting the moment pass without saying anything. I think most of us fear reaching the end of our life, and looking back regretting the moments we didn't speak up. When we didn't say 'I love you'. When we should've said 'I'm sorry'. When we didn't stand up for ourselves or someone who needed help. These songs are made up of words I didn't say when the moment was right is front of me. These songs are open letters. Each is written with a specific person in mind, telling them what I meant to tell them in person. To the beautiful boy whose heart I broke in December. To my first love who I never thought would be my first heartbreak. To my band. To a mean man I used to be afraid of. To someone who made my world very dark for a while. To a girl who stole something of mine. To someone I forgive for what he said in front of the whole world. Words can break someone into a million pieces, but they can also put them back together. I hope you use yours for good, because the only words you'll regret more than the ones left unsaid are the ones you use to intentionally hurt someone. What you say might be too much for some people. Maybe it will come out all wrong and you'll stutter and you'll walk away embarrased, wincing as you play it all back in your head. But I think the words you stop yourself from saying are the ones that will haunt you the longest. So say it to them. Or say it to yourself in the mirror. Say it in a letter you'll never send or in a book millions might read someday. I think you deserve to look back on your life without a chorus of resounding voices saying 'I could've, but it's too late now.' There is a time for silence. There is a time waiting your turn. But if you know how you feel, and you so clearly know what you need to say, you'll know it. I don't think you should wait. I think you should speak now Love, Taylor PS: To all the boys who inspired this album, you should've known. ;)

HAPPY BRITHDAY TO THE ALBUM THAT INSPIRED ME TO RAISE MY VOICE

[motivesandthoughts-blog]

This article reaffirms what’s taken me quite a few sleepless nights, tears, cups of coffee, hugs, and conversations with myself to discover: It’s okay to not now what’s next.

It’s okay to start from scratch and learn to hold yourself up before you crawl. To learn to crawl before you waddle, walk, run, and make the world a better place. Part of our stories as human beings is that we are so imperfect.

And somehow despite this handicap. Despite not knowing the future or where breaking off from the pack may lead us, we still tend to kick ass at this thing called life. We still cure diseases. We still find parts of ourselves and of this world that we never new. How do we do this? Because we aren’t afraid to question “the norm”. We aren’t afraid to wonder and fight for that little voice in us that dreams beyond the possible.

And when we ARE afraid to the point where are knees shake at he thought of getting up out of bed… To the point where we spend most of our time “just doing” instead of experiencing and living… To the point where we would think it merciful to end our suffering—

We hold on.

Because the barista at Starbucks actually believes you can finish that book you’ve been working on for three years… Because your daughter actually blurted out “I love you” for the first time since she’s started college. We hold on because we don’t just exist for ourselves. We live for a reason. We hold on so tight that we risk searching and searching for our purpose our entire lives. Even if it means the end of “the norm”.

Going back in time

[taylornation]

We had the time of our lives with you 😘 Can’t believe we wrapped up the North American leg of the reputation Stadium Tour! Thank you to everyone who made the past few months so magical ✨ Australia… are you ready for it?!

[taylorswift]

I’m opening up the American Music Awards with a performance of “I Did Something Bad.”

Meredith is not excited, but I am.

BUT I KNOW YOU WISH IT WAS ME

YOU WISH IT WAS ME, DON’T YOU?

[taylornation]

Long live all the magic we made in New Orleans ✨

[taylorselenaswift]

ok but it’s 2018 and i still can’t get over how she set up tsou like an actual book with “next chapter” and “the end” like my 7 year old self couldn’t handle it and neither can my 15 year old self !!

[columbusswift]

the fact that Taylor can play a song she hasn’t played in YEARS and everyone in the crowd knows the words to it just shows how close we are and how much we’ve all grown together

[taylorswift]

Taking in every second of this tour- thank you New Orleans for being so incredible last night. My first time playing the Superdome and couldn’t be happier that I got to play it with Camila and @charlixcx - plus some purrfect friends came to see the show. 💗💗💗💗💗

Indianapolis, Indiana (September 15, 2018)

[cages-boxes-hunters-foxes]

“So um, on this tour, something that has become somewhat of a tradition, and by the way, this tour is almost over, and I cannot believe it. I know, it’s ridiculous, I’m very upset about it, but it’s almost over. We have five shows left in the US, and then we go to Australia and Tokyo and New Zealand and it’s fantastic, but still, I don’t know, I’m just really soaking in all of the moments. But one of the traditions that I really love about this tour that’s developed because you guys, let’s be honest, we talk a lot online, we talk on Tumblr, Instagram, Twitter. We have a very open dialogue going on at all times. So I’ve been playing older songs on this tour! And uh, it’s been sort of fun going back through older songs that like, songs that I have written about times in my life that feel like a world ago, what did I even write that about? I don’t know you guys are so cool for having followed my life and read my diary since I was about 16, that’s really nice of you. And this is a song that I wrote when I was 18, I think, it was on the Fearless album.”

— Taylor before Forever and Always in Indianapolis on September 15th
