I know i’m super late to this party, but are we entering/in the era of Shawn Mendes finding himself again? 

#Shawn mendes #I'm not back #but I stumbled onto the genius video on when you're gone #and I have thoughts #has he finally figured out he has to save himself and no one else can do it for him? #if he did I support #im into the song too

Christmas morning

2015

Your eyes open, the sunlight light streams into your bedroom, and you can hear your younger brother’s feet padding through the hallway. Even though you’re not a little kid anymore, you still get that jolt of excitement knowing its Christmas. You’re still trying to wake up when the door to your bedroom swings open and your little brothers bound into the room, jumping onto your bed, shouting, “Its Christmas!” Wiping the sleep out of your eyes, you can’t help but laugh. 

“Merry Christmas!” You tell them as they bounce up and down on bed. They continue bouncing as you reach for your phone to see a text from Shawn, Good morning baby, Merry Christmas! I love you, and I’ll see you soon. And the next text he sent tells you to tell your brothers Merry Christmas from him. This is the first Christmas you and Shawn are celebrating as a couple, and you can’t help but smile, staring at your phone. 

2017

You wake up before Shawn does, scooting closer to him. Its Christmas, is your first thought, just like it is every Christmas morning. But your second thought, that quickly follows, is Shawn. You don’t normally wake him in the morning, but this morning, you do. Moving closer to him, you gently shake him awake. “Morning,” You say when his eyelids finally flutter open. 

A sleepy smile crosses his face. “Good morning! It’s Christmas.” He says, wrapping his arm around you and pulling you in for a kiss. 

You can’t help but smile too, saying, “It is. Merry Christmas, Shawn.” 

“Merry Christmas, y/n.” He tells you. You kiss him one more time before starting to get out of bed, but he pulls you back before you get the chance to get up. 

“Where are you going?” He questions. 

“We have to get up,” You remind him. “We have breakfast at your parents house.” 

Its both you and Shawn’s first Christmases not at home in your childhood houses, so your parents have made you promise to go back home to your houses to celebrate Christmas with your families. So you’re having breakfast at the Mendes’ house and lunch with your family. 

“I know, but let me just have some time with my girlfriend on Christmas morning.” So you end up staying in bed with him for another twenty minutes before you have to rush to get ready for breakfast so you’re not late. 

2020

“Good morning wife,” You hear Shawn’s voice pulling you from your sleep. As soon as you open your eyes, you see Shawn. 

“Merry Christmas,” You say, immediately closing the space between you two, greeting him with a Christmas kiss. Its your first Christmas as husband and wife, and there is no one else you’d rather wake up to on Christmas morning and every morning. 

2022

The sound of crying wakes you much earlier than you’d like. Its still completely dark outside, but you drag yourself out of bed and down the hall. When you return to your bedroom with the baby, you find that Shawn has woken up, and he’s sitting up in bed. When you enter the room, his eyes meet yours, the lack of sleep you’ve both been getting since the baby was born is evident on both of your faces, “Merry Christmas, baby,” He says, his voice groggy. “And Merry Christmas little baby,” He says to your daughter as you climb onto the bed. He moves so he’s holding you in his arms while you feed your daughter.

2031

You’re awoken by the sound of footsteps pounding down the hall, giving you a few seconds of warning before your door swings open and your eight year old charges the bed, jumping onto it, and effectively waking Shawn by jumping right onto him. She’s followed shortly by your five year old and three year old sons, who were a little slower at running. 

“Its Christmas!” She shouts, “Wake up daddy!”

Shawn takes a few seconds to wake up enough to reply. “It’s Christmas?” He pretends to be surprised, earning a laugh from your daughter. You lean down to help the boys onto the bed, and now you have three excited children jumping up and down on your bed. 

Amidst the bouncing and excited children, Shawn scoots closer to you, catching your attention in the middle of the chaos. “Merry Christmas,” He says to you with a smile. Before you have time to reply, your youngest son wedges himself between the two of you. You don’t get a chance to say it back, but he knows. Even sixteen years later, you still love him more than ever. 

2047

Its been a few years since the storm of footsteps have woken you and Shawn up every Christmas morning, and you do miss it a little. But even though your kids have grown up and moved out, you’re glad that you still get to wake up to Shawn on Christmas morning and every morning. “Good morning baby,” Shawn says with a smile, “Merry Christmas.” He pulls you closer to him. 

You lean up, kissing him. “Merry Christmas, Shawn.” 

#merry christmas!

Ugh I am so glad other people feel the same way I do. I think the album is meh 😕 and I was like underwhelmed. I feel like he’s so talented and this was definitely not it. I get the pretentious vibe from him now and it makes me so sad and he’s losing himself for other reasons besides his relationship 🤷🏻‍♀️

Underwhelmed is definitely a word I would use to describe that whole experience of listening to the album for me too.

[wordsandshawn]

I totally agree with what you said about Shawns new album. I feel like he’s trying to push the image that he’s so in love with her. Does he love Camila? Yes i think he does. But I think maybe he’s lowkey confused if he’s like in love with her. Idk, i’m not a big fan of this album.

I do agree that it feels like he’s trying to push an image but I also i think he’s lost himself in her, in the idea of love, in not feeling alone. same about not being a big fan of the album.

[wordsandshawn]

yes! look love songs are great and all but a whole ass album???? and the lyrics aren’t even that great, like a few are okay but the music is just eh; i usually don’t love love albums but then albums like lover is a great love album bc lyrically it’s amazing and it’s not ALL love songs

I have no problem with love songs. I do have a problem with “i’m nothing without you//you’re my savior” songs. Yeah, agreed. I listened to the album a bunch of times while working out and doing other things and honestly I cant even tell you any good standout lyrics. I have always felt like Taylor is telling stories, stories about people, stories about love, stories about things that are important to her. I feel like in this album, Shawn isn’t telling a story so much as pushing one idea (for the most part) -- an idea that grates against my soul.

[wordsandshawn]

I listened to the album. I wanted to like it I swear. I know it’s a love album, he’s in love, whatever— but it keeps giving me this feeling that he’s insecure and not okay with himself so he’s throwing everything he has into this relationship and he’s finding his identity in her like she’s his end all be all and he’s nothing and no one without her. I hate hate hate the idea that we need to be saved or that people are incomplete on their own. I also don’t like how he basically portrays her as Jesus. Shawn Mendes, save your fucking self.

#my opinion that no one asked for #it’s just my opinion and the vibe I get from this album #I literally came back onto this blog to say this and honestly I probably should have just kept my mouth shut and stayed away #but also I really really really wanted to just enjoy his music and love him as a musician but I’m not digging this album

[wordsandshawn]

Wow wow wow gonna miss you and your writing SO much! I genuinely don’t follow any other Shawn blogs anymore but I follow yours just because of the quality of the writing. Best of luck with everything in the future and if you ever write anything non-Shawn based let us know cause I would loveeeee to read it. Seriously gonna miss ya so much but I agree the clownery has gone on too long

thanks for sticking around and reading my stuff 💕 thank you! I don’t see myself posting anything shawn or not shawn related anytime soon, but i’ll for sure let yall know if i do. 

[wordsandshawn]

@honestreputation yes 2016/17 were the good years. thank you for understanding 💕. Exactly, the people who I've met on here and who are so supportive are the only reason its hard to leave and probably whats gonna push me to come back if I decide to do so. thank you! i wish you the best too! 

I never thought I’d make this post, but I’m gonna be taking a break from Shawnblr for a while//forever??//idk. I’m just tired of his (and his team’s) games and he’s just not doing it for me right now. Also, ive had this blog for like 4 years, and I love writing, but it hasn’t felt like it used to for quite a while now. 

There are so many people on here that I absolutely love as people, but I just don’t want Shawn content on my dash and I was dumb enough to create this blog as a side blog, so i have one dash between this blog and my main (which i still plan to use). So I’m going to be unfollowing all of the Shawn blogs I follow, and i hope you can understand. Like I said, i love all of you as people, and nothing against any of your wonderful blogs, but I just need a break from Shawn. 

I’m not sure when or if I will come back. I’ll probably unfollow blogs with Shawn content this weekend and stop coming onto this blog after that. I won’t delete it or any of my content, i’m just not planning on checking my notifs or posting for a while starting this weekend or early next week.

Thank you to everyone who has read anything I’ve ever written, and anyone who i’ve interacted with on here. You all are absolute gems. <3333 take care. 

[wordsandshawn]

I’m sad to see you go🥺 I will miss seeing you in here and miss your writing! I have loved everything that you have written. And fun fact you were actually the first account on shawnblr that I followed. So I guess thank you for introducing me lol. I hope this will be good for you but if you come back we will always be here🥰💖

I’ll miss being here. thats amazing! I’m so glad that I was able to play a part in introducing you to shawnblr! Thank you 💕

[wordsandshawn]

What did you mean in your post about Shawn and his team's games? Does he not seem genuine anymore?

I don't want to say he’s not genuine, but I think that there’s been so much lately about the publicity and pushing a certain narrative, and I just don’t really feel like sticking around for it and stumbling upon it constantly (especially assuming its only going to get worse in the coming months). 

#nothing against him or them #I just dont need it in my life #also I started this blog to write #and I haven't felt inspired to do that in a while so I'm gonna stop trying to write for Shawn in hopes that it might create some space #for other creative writing #I know you didn't ask about that part #but I felt like I should explain it a bit more

[wordsandshawn]

I'm gonna miss you on here! But I wish you all the best, thank you for all the wonderful writing you've given us over the years.

I really am going to miss being on here. 💕 thank you!  

[wordsandshawn]

I will miss you! <3

i’ll miss you too!

I legit love your writing so much, I always find myself coming back to it. I completely understand why you’d want to leave shawnblr though because I wholeheartedly agree. Plus, if this is going to be better for you in the long run then that’s all that matters! Wishing you the best and sending so much love to one of my favourite Shawn blogs ❤️
