.... truly the pissing on the poor website. let's try some reading comp shall we?

1. who is op talking about? is it me?

2. why is op talking about romanticization of the past? what could op be responding to that would make her argue this point in particular?

3. does op sound like she is talking about people who just "dont like the lyric" and think "its stupid" or "unnecessary"?

4. why do i find it necessary to insert myself into a conversation that i missing context for?

5. is op addressing "most" of the criticism against the line or is op responding to a specific argument a specific tumblr user who is not me made to op?

6. why do i feel the need to tell op that she is misinterpreting "most" of the criticism when i have no idea what posts op has seen going around tumblr or what arguments op has seen people making to justify hating on a woman by straight lying about what the song says?

after you do some soul searching and answer those questions, then u can think about these.

7. is it really stupid of a professional songwriter to include a verse about historical nostalgia on a song where they are dissociating from their present life because of severe mental illness? do i understand that historical nostalgia is a studied scientific phenomenon that is more likely to occur when the person is unhappy with their present?

8. why am i making such a big deal about a lyric that clearly resonates with so many people when i claim to not care about taylor swift? why do i spend my time talking about how much i find her lyricism cringey when i am aware that millions of people disagree with me? what joy do i get out of loudly and publically whining about how "i just dont understand" how this "shitty" "white woman" could be so successful with her "shitty" and "unnecessary" lyrics?

9. what do i think im going to accomplish with this loud bitching and moaning about how shitty taylor swift is at writing music in my biased opinion? why is it important for me to accomplish that?

besides that, it literally doesnt change the fact that changing the word nostalgia doesn't get rid of the lyrics "if id been there, id hate it" like where exactly is the romanticization of the 1830s that yall were complaining on that post. where is she saying she wants to live in the 1830s. it doesnt change the fact that you can still tell that taylor is not advocating to live in the 1830s or even that you should romanticize the past, in fact, she explicitly says not to do so because you'd hate it if you were there due to all the RACISM AND SEXISM like she puts it in the fucking verse ur complaining about immediately one right after the other so it doesn't change the fact that yall are still LYING to justify your HATRED of a WOMAN which is the definition of fucking sexism u losers.

#yall are such fucking losers man #is this how u spend ur time????#me: can yall stop complaining that taylor wants to live in the 1830s and get some reading comprehension #this dumbass: actually most people just think shes stupid for writing this lyric it doesnt even rhyme there was no reason to include it #holy moving the goal posts batman

and our ages never bothered her from the very beginning. I was married, but that didn’t matter, either. the sort of thing that thinking about won’t change one bit.

there are some things about myself I can’t explain to anyone. There are some things I don’t understand at all. I can’t tell what I think about things or what I’m after. I don’t know what my strengths are or what I’m supposed to do about them. I can only think about myself. I become really self-centered, and without meaning to, I hurt people. So I'm not such a wondrful human being.

and our ages never bothered her from the very beginning. I was married, but that didn’t matter, either. She seemed to consider things like age and family and income to be of the same a priori order as shoe size and vocal pitch and the shape of one’s fingernails. the sort of thing that thinking about won’t change one bit. And that much said, well, she had a point

My flesh may have to be consumed, but my mind belongs to me. I'm keeping it for myself. I will not hand it over to anyone.

No one in my family, not one of my friends or classmates, realized that I was going through life asleep.

“Yesterday on the street I passed the 100% perfect girl,' I tell someone. 'Yeah?' he says. 'Good-looking?' 'Not really.' 'Your favorite type, then?' 'I don't know. I can't seem to remember anything about her - the shape of her eyes or the size of her breasts.' 'Strange.' 'Yeah, strange.' 'So anyhow,' he says, already bored, 'what did you do? Talk to her? Follow her?' 'Nah. Just passed her on the street.' She's walking east to west, and I west to east. [...] How can I approach her? What should I say? 'Good morning, miss. do you think you could spare half an hour for a little conversation?' Ridiculous. I'd sound like an insurance salesman. 'Pardon me, but would you happen to know if there is an all-night cleaners in the neighborhood?' No, this is just as ridiculous. I'm not carrying any laundry, for one thing. Who's going to buy a line like that? Maybe the simple truth would do. 'Good morning. You are the 100% perfect girl for me.' No, she wouldn't believe it. Or even if she did, she might not want to talk to me. Sorry, she could say, I might be the 100% perfect girl for you, but you're not the 100% perfect boy for me. It could happen. And if I found myself in that situation, I'd probably go to pieces. I'd never recover from the shock. I'm thirty-two, and that's what growing older is all about.

Haruki Murakami, The Elephant Vanishes

“No. I can survive well enough on my own— if given the proper reading material.”

“You could rattle the stars," she whispered. "You could do anything, if only you dared. And deep down, you know it, too. That’s what scares you most.”

“to the people who look at the stars and wish, Rhys." Rhys clinked his glass against mine. “To the stars who listen— and the dreams that are answered.”

“How long was I asleep?" she whispered. He didn't respond. "How long was I asleep?" she asked again, and noticed a hint of red in his cheeks. "You were asleep, too?" "Until you began drooling on my shoulder.”

Sarah J. Maas, Throne of Glass

“I fell in love with you, smartass, because you were one of us—because you weren’t afraid of me, and you decided to end your spectacular victory by throwing that piece of bone at Amarantha like a javelin. I felt Cassian’s spirit beside me in that moment, and could have sworn I heard him say, ‘If you don’t marry her, you stupid prick, I will.”

Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Mist and Fury

Destiny or coincidence

She was walking alone on the street Thinking "God, how complicated is everything about love"She asked herself what would have been the detail That certainly Cupid must have misinterpreted He tossed and turned in bed like every other night Suddenly a romantic song played on the radio Perhaps it was Michael Bolton who hit a nerve And since he was missing his dream, he went looking for it The two were walking the same way And I'm not talking about the odd direction of their stepsHe looked at her, she answered with a sigh And the Universe conspired for their embrace.
