ending the entire album with “the story isn’t mine anymore” couldn’t be more perfect.

she has put her entire heart on the line with this. begged us to see her as human. revealed the most tortured and messy and hollow parts of her soul. the good and the bad and certainly the ugly. her mistakes, her high highs, and all the times she legitimately went insane. the story isn’t hers anymore now, it belongs to the world. we do what we will with it. she put the entire depths of her heartbreak out for us to hold, and i hope we hold it softly.

does anyone remember Taylor talking about, I believe, I Knew You Were Trouble, and how she released it because it is the type of song you can release only when you know the relationship is over, but if they were still together she would have kept that song to herself?

Anyway, I feel like that is what this album will be like, and what those crumpled up pieces of paper in the Midnights room represent

#i love showering in the morning in fact i just did today #but there's something SO NICE about washing the day away and going to sleep feeling clean and comfy

Certain words can change your brain forever and ever so you do have to be very careful about it.

#the thought that time will pass anyway really rewired my head #i got it from an elderly women who studied to be a lawyer and she started ans 62 i think #people were asking her what was the use to get the tile at nearly 70 #and she was like i would have gotten to 70 anyways i wanted to get there being a lawyer #and that just changed the way i thought so many things

can you rec us some books with very pretty prose?

Beautiful writing style is, of course, always in the eye of the reader. However, these are some books where I really appreciated the prose style because it was either pretty or in some way really compelling/interesting to me in some way:

Salt Slow by Julia Armfield

The Last Tale of the Flower Bride by Roshani Chokshi

Plain Bad Heroines by Emily M Danforth

The Secret History by Donna Tartt

The Song of Achilles by Madeleine Miller

The Picture of Dorian Grey by Oscar Wilde

The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera

In The Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado

A Portable Shelter/Things We Say in the Dark by Kirsty Logan

Middlegame by Seanan McGuire

A Spindle Splintered by Alix E. Harrow

Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin

Nightwood by Djuna Barnes

This Is How You Lose The Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone

Bunny by Mona Awad

(These are all from my 'beautiful writing style' shelf on Goodreads. However, I have omitted any where I can't remember what happens in the book anymore or if I didn't love the book!)

tiktok is such an awful app, it's almost designed to feed you misinformation and expose you to insane discourse. unlike beloved tumblr, the app that feeds me misinformation and exposes me to insane discourse

One day you think: I want to die. And then you think, very quietly, actually I want a coffee. I want a nap. A sandwich. A book. And I want to die turns day by day into I want to go home, I want to walk in the woods, I want to see my friends, I want to sit in the sun. I want a cleaner room, I want a better job, I want to live somewhere else, I want to live.

Everyone else talked about outdoor cats, it's time for me to talk about offleash dogs
