Changing For The Better

Savannah / 28

When you are young, they assume you know nothing but I knew you through the daze of the blades of the grass in summer. Cross your heart, won't tell no other. Parachutes for the free fall of being younger. Love you to the moon and to Saturn. I memorized the sound of your bare footsteps. Running wild, it's been a long time. Life has ways of leaving those days behind, but love has ways of bringing things back to life. Man, it's been a while, but I knew it, I knew you. And I knew you'd come back to me ‘cause I knew everything when I was young and just like a folk song, our love will be passed on.

in light of taylor talking about her influences, i wanted to bring back one of my favorite and what i think is one of the most criminally underdiscussed pieces of taylor media, which is a playlist made by brian mansfield of the songs taylor had on her ipod when she was 18 after she allowed him to go through it (x)

thinking about "the old widow goes to the stone everyday, i don't, i just sit here and wait, grieving for the living" and "remember looking at this room, we loved it 'cause of the light / now i just sit in the dark and wonder if it's time" and "forgive me, peter, please know that i tried to hold on to the days that you were mine / but the woman who sits by the window has turned out the light"

thinking about "is it cool that i said all that?" and "it's cool, that's what i tell 'em, no rules in breakable heaven" and "it's cool, baby, with me" and "you're so cool, it makes me hate you so much" and "I play it cool with the best of them" and "a greater woman stays cool, but i howl like a wolf at the moon" and "cooler in theory, but not if you force it to be" and "i've been dying just from trying to seem cool"

“it’s hell on earth to be heavenly, them’s the breaks, they don’t come gently” -> “now i know the life of a showgirl, babe, and i’ll never know another”

We were a fresh page on the desk, filling in the blanks as we go. Don't read the last page but I stay. Pages turn and stick to each other. Now I'm begging for footnotes in the story of your life. And all the pages are just slipping through my hands. But if the story's over, why am I still writing pages? And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now. But I still don't know, how did it end?

Security guards from The Eras Tour in Chicago share that Taylor Swift requested the staff to be given shirts that had more breathable material after hearing that they were sweating right through them:

''They commented how hot our shirts looked and we couldn't lie, they were. We were sweating right through them. Profusely lol. The second day, we checked in and our boss hands us these light cotton shirts… And then our boss lets us know that word got back to Taylor that we did a great job, but that we were sweating like crazy and she had requested we get shirts that were more breathable material. Taylor Swift wouldn't know me in a lineup to save her life, but I will never forget how seen and appreciated she made us feel.''

that old familiar body ache the snaps from the same little breaks in your soul you know when it’s time to go / that’s when she sees the littlest leaks down in the floorboards and she just knows she must bolt

sometimes to run is the brave thing sometimes walking out is the one thing that will find you the right thing / ended with the slam of a door but she’s got the best stories you can be sure that as she was leaving it felt like freedom

dear reader is a CRAZY song when you think about it. I am so rotten that you can’t even trust my words about my own life. I am alone, and it’s entirely my fault. my house is empty. I have no comfort or warmth. I desperately tried to escape my own life, and I ended up all alone.
