“Your mind is not a cage. It’s a garden. And it requires cultivating.”

“Nobody will stop you from creating. Do it tonight. Do it tomorrow. That is the way to make your soul grow - whether there is a market for it or not! The kick of creation is the act of creating, not anything that happens afterward. I would tell all of you watching this screen: Before you go to bed, write a four line poem. Make it as good as you can. Don’t show it to anybody. Put it where nobody will find it. And you will discover that you have your reward.”

— Kurt Vonnegut

people doubted taylor once reputation was released, but she steered clear of any rumor or opinion anyone had on her or her music. she pulled through with the album selling 1.2 million copies in the US in it’s first week out, a spectacular tour that grossed $345.7 million dollars, and a netflix tour movie that had people questioning why they even doubted her in the first place… all while meeting thousands of fans, living a happy & healthy life, and taking her narrative back. taylor swift is truly living her best life and i couldn’t be prouder.

“I don’t have any regrets, really, except that one. I wanted to write about you, about us, really. Do you know what I mean? I wanted to write about everything, the life we’re having and the lives we might have had. I wanted to write about all the ways we might have died.”
