Whoa, emoootional right? Nah, but the title fits.
No, I didn't really die, but I did have not blogged for a while. Now that spring break's here I feel not as pressed for time...in some senses.
I really admire Taylor Swift. I've been listening to her album "Fearless" for a while, and I really like everything she's saying. The "White Horse" music video was really well set too. I think the best thing that makes her different, Is the fact that when she writes songs she isn't afraid to name the people she's writing about.
For example, she has a song called "Hey Stephen"..and "Forever and Always" is about the breakup between her and Joe Jonas, who IMHO is a jerk because she broke up with her (although his argument made him sound better, he's stiLl a jerk for doing it over the phone).
Some people think It's juvenile of Taylor to write songs about people with their names in the song/meaning. I had thought this way too, and that argument maKes sense, but I think she's smart Enough to acknowledge that. So after thinking about it again, I now think and believe it's deeper, and as far as I'm concerned she's gutsY and herOic. She's doing what many people can't - explain how she feels.
And I admire that. Sure, it coUld have been more conventional, you know like through the phone and in an email or in person or something, but taking into consideration the gift God gave her to write and sing, she did what she does, and who can be mad at that. It's how she expresses herself, and if my name were to end up in any name of the song of her's I'd bet I Deserved it.
I wish I could be as strong as her ; )
And I feel stressed for time still because even the most beautiful flowers die. I confess that too. I've just been scared in a lot of senses but hopefully you can love me for my imperfections.
Spontaneous Spring Break '09 is here, let's kick it!
