I'm not sure if I will every regret this phase in my life (the phase I am still living right now), but Taylor Swift has been my go-to girl. I listen to her songs any time I'm feeling any kind of emotions. Her songs en capture me and bring me to a different place, a different time. Whether I am happy, excited, sad, nervous or just about any emotion, I know her songs will do my mood justice. In fact, the most played song on my iTunes is You Belong With Me.
I couldn't even begin to list my favorite songs from her, she has far too many. But one line that really sticks out to me in one of her songs, Ours, speaks truth that "Life makes love look hard". The more I think about this quote, the more it makes sense. Life is a crazy, messed up bundle of enjoyment. If we look at life from afar, we realize that love does actually look hard. From that broad spectrum, love is a hard concept and life is thrown in to make it look even more challenging.
Another line that takes me back into time is from most played song, You Belong With Me. This song takes me back to 9th and 10th grade, I was obsessed. The line is
"Dreaming about the day
when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for
has been here the whole time"
These may be the most true phrases about my life ever written. This brings me back to 10th grade (I feel like I'm writing in my diary). I had (or should I say still have?) the biggest crush on this one guy and he just hasn't realized that I am the one for him. What he's looking for has been here the whole time. This song will always be the representation of my high school life.
Taylor Swift, whether I like to admit it or not, will always bring me back to dwell in my high school life. I hear people hate/regret/never want to remember high school in their lives so I am not sure that I will ever want to listen to Taylor when I grow up but she is my truth-speaker for the moment being.
