Help me prove my family wrong!

I don't know if this post will break containment, but will you like/reblog if you are or know a man who is asexual? All of the people in my life seem convinced that being Ace is a 'girl thing' and that Ace men don't exist!

I wish people understood that it doesn’t matter how much time passes: what kim/kanye did to taylor will never not hurt her. She felt like her life was torn to shreds. Imagine being 26 years old (literally my age now), coming down off the most successful year of your career, and now the whole entire world is against you. Imagine seeing your name trending because people are saying you’re over, you’re a liar, you’re dead. Imagine thinking this career that you’re worked tirelessly for is over in the blink of an eye. Imagine the people who claim to love and support you suddenly deciding they don’t anymore- in fact- they are going to completely turn against you. You don’t come back from that without deep scars. It’s not possible to move on and never have something tug on the pain. It’s just not. That’s a bag of emotions…one that, I think, you don’t always know which you’re going to pull out on any given day.

The Tortured Poets Department is a great reminder that women don't owe the world pretty. Taylor Swift doesn't owe anyone an easily digestible pretty pop album wrapped in a bow with short songs you can make TikToks to. She's allowed to present something raw, uncomfortable, and vulnerable to the world.

I hate it here is for all the girlies who grew up reading books as a precocious child and dreamt of worlds that exist only in a sophisticated imagination, for the girls who live in delusions

I Look Through People’s Windows is like “please don’t ever become a stranger whose laugh I could recognize anywhere” come true

TAYLOR SWIFT — 'Fortnight' (feat. Post Malone)

[curlyhairedintrovertsworld]

im sure lots of people will listen to TTPD and discount it because she talks about matty in it (and ofc people have their valid issues with him, but im not gonna go into that), but the whole lead up to the album has been “we’re investigating,” and imo a lot of us took that as her saying “we’re investigating why my relationship ended” whereas the album is actually about “we’re investigating this caricature of a girl who went through something life-changing, and she has apparently gone crazy” and she’s basically done a public autopsy of herself; something that the media/fans/public have done since the beginning, but this time around she was like “i’ll do it to myself.”

hence, the album aesthetic feels so sterile too imo. she’s trying to distance herself from the subject but!!!!!! she is the subject. and in conclusion, i think what she’s really putting down is “the summary of the investigation of this girl is that she went insane because of what happened to her, but it’s hopefully gonna be okay”

sidenote: i think what we need to take away from the album is to… let her live…

“I'll tell you something 'bout my good name. It's mine alone to disgrace. I don't cater to all these vipers dressed in empath's clothing.”

is taylor really glorifying mental illness, or is media literacy declining faster than we can stop it?

is taylor really romanticizing mental illness, or did we as a society get caught up in the era of romanticing our lives through art and escapism?

thinking about “and i’m pissed off you let me give you all that youth for free” and “give me back my girlhood, it was mine first” is actually making me feel sick to my stomach

I just think TTPD is not an album you can understand and fully digest in one listen or even a few listens and that's what makes it so great. It is accessible in terms of its melodies and high-level storytelling but the lyrical details are poetic and complex. I'm really just so excited to spend a lot of time with this album.

me after listening to the most emotionally devastating song I have ever heard because an even more upsetting one is about to start

ttpd is healing in how imperfect it is. it's not a bestseller. i mean, it is, but not in the usual way. it's not a dance pop album. it's just a woman sharing her art and (new and old) feelings. i don't care how long ago some of the things she sings about happened. what matters is that it happened, and it impacted her.

tell me fifteen/ten/five years ago didn't shape who you are today. tell me your past traumas don't haunt you to this day. honestly, tell me you don't like something without insulting it or the person who made it. you can say it's just not for you. not liking a particular piece of art is okay!

for me, however, as a writer and a poet and a bleeding heart, ttpd is proof that my messy feelings and cluttered mind and the words that pour out of me are valid and that no matter what anyone else thinks, i can be and am an artist too
