My recent obsession (more like my not so recent, exponentially increasing) with Taylor Swift and her songs have led me to draw certain connections. Is she writing songs about Joey Potter? Because I swear I’m just listening to songs and watching Dawson’s creek and keep seeing Joey (and more specifically her relationship with Pacey).
For example, “This Love” - 1989 (brilliantly beautiful song if you haven’t heard it.) The song literally starts with a Water/Ocean metaphor which HELLO screams Joey and Pacey with them building their friendship through the rebuilding ‘True Love’ and them eventually sailing off into the sunset (is it sailing into or sailing off into, why don’t i remember this) by ACTUALLY sailing away for the summer. And the line
“When you’re young you just run, but you come back to what you need”
This line is how I would describe Joey in general, not just her relationships because she seemed to always be running, scared to get hurt but eventually she went back to what (or who) she needed.
Anyways, that was my rant for today. Come back tomorrow to listen to more rants I have about TV shows and relationships I’m obsessed with that I can’t talk about with people in my life cause no one gets me and thinks I’m crazy because I’m more passionate about fictional people than actually people.
