While I’m back on my evermore bullshit (let’s be real I never left), I can’t help thinking about how it’s such a perfect standard closer for evermore the album, and to folkmore as a project.

The idea of writing through immense pain to process it, as a form of bloodletting and analysis and eulogy for whatever that time was and whoever the person you were was, in an act of catharsis. Taking these events and feelings that had been heavy and confusing and painful and coming out the other side to make this beautiful testament to the human condition. How the song takes all the themes in those two albums— grief, loss, anger, pain, loneliness, betrayal, desperation, depression, fear— and encapsulates them in this sea of turmoil that she eventually makes it through is the ultimate reclamation of life amidst chaos. The light at the end of the tunnel. The hope amidst the darkness.

And that is just what TTPD was about too: she took this moment of immense despair and turned it into an excavation of her soul. And what she learned through it, just like she did with evermore, is that this pain wouldn’t in fact be forevermore. She felt the ground beneath her feet at the end of it, and lived to tell the tale. The only way out is through, and the only was through is to write about it. She writes about these feelings to help process them, and when she can write about them she’s on her way to getting past them. It’s so beautiful.

I still think it's so funny the haters think they're so smart and above Taylor's music and Stevie Nicks Paul McCartney etc all are like she's a genius and the music fucks

Is it really your anxiety that stops you from giving me everything or do you just not want to? -> And I wouldn’t marry me either, a pathological people-pleaser -> I wish I could un-recall how we almost had it all 😵‍💫

[starlit-swift]

the thought of her, after all these years trying to make herself ‘manage-ably sized’ and not be the elephant in the room, turning around and being like oh wait no I’m not too big he’s just the smallest man who ever lived would be so satisfying that I think I may cry

I AM MANIFESTING THIS SHIT

[starlit-swift]

and i can go anywhere i want… just not home

[starlit-swift]

So next week I’ll either popping my ass to Slut! (Taylor’s version) (from the vault) or crying my eyes out to Slut! (Taylor’s version) (from the vault). I’m very excited to find out.
