The only reason I bought that iPad was to impress you. I've never been an iOS girl—Apple always seemed pretentious and overpriced outside the USA—but there it is, sitting in my new room, where you've never been and never will be. In your absence, it's helped me a lot. I've gotten jobs and lost them. It's travelled a lot—went to London and back, to Buenos Aires too. But I do wish I’d never bought it, that we’d never kissed, that I’d never talked to her or introduced the two of you. Maybe things would be different now; perhaps this room would have been a studio apartment for the both of us. But it’s not and never will be. Now that iPad is just a tool, an outdated, old tool I can’t bring myself to sell, so there it sits on my nightstand, wherever I go.

[most-likely-to-runaway-with-u]

In a reflective mood and just wanted to write what Taylor Swift's Albums mean to me, where I was at the time, and what songs influenced me the most. (I'm gonna go in order that I discovered her music.)

Love Story: 2008/9 was babysitting with my best friend we were 14 talking about her crush at school, with the music channel playing. Looked over at the TV and just heard the bridge, both me and my friend had chills, asked her to rewind and we kept rewatching all night until we new all the words. Thought how beautiful Taylor was and said we need to write her name and YouTube and Google her later see if she has any other music.

Debut: 2008/9 we got back to my friends house I was sleeping over and we spent the whole night listening to the debut album, loving picture to burn and Tim McGraw, and I'm only me when I'm with you. Then we research a bunch of unreleased music cause we saw she had a new album coming but was kinda impatient and wanted more amazing songs. Was so happy in life at this moment in time.

Fearless: This album was just literally everything to me and my best friend. She still had a massive crush, and then ended up asking him out (the fearless speech made her feel bold enough, just imagine her 4ft10 ass striding up and addmiting her crush -- cutest thing ever. Then they broke up and he was with this other girl and literally I didn't know what to do cause I'd never had my heart broken, but Taylor's music was the perfect solution, so we listened to white horse and teardrops on my guitar and 15 for months. Until she was okay again. I didn't get to go to the fearless tour because I didn't have anymore and was too shy to ask but my friend went and she made me promise we'd see her together next time. I was so scared because she's from the US and not many people who I liked came over to UK Midlands. This time in my life was happy, free and honestly I did feel on top of the world.

Speak Now: The first album I brought on its release day. This is where her song writing really dug me deep, and where I became invested as a fan to her.

"Mine" felt like it was a message about my own insecurities about dating, I had a rough childhood however I had a very romantic mindset but I had this plague in my head, saying it was a trick or mind games. But this song was amazing for my imagination, although I still wasn't ready to date even though I felt like a freak because I was 16/17 and had never had date because of my anxiety. I used to joke it was because I was tall and guys were intimated. 😂

"Never Grow Up" at the time when I first heard it I thought this is a cute song and sweet message. However, now I understand it as an adult, 'someday everything i have is gonna be gone' is the truth.. gone were the days of protection and laughter. It breaks my heart everytime I hear it.

"Long live" my first concert and with my best friend. One of those conflicting feelings because it's one of my favourite memories but also I'll never get that night back again and now she lives away and it just makes me think of our friendship and our connection to Taylor.

"Haunted" - I was going through bad mental health, I was having panic attacks, crying on public transport and I literally became a recluse for about 3 months because I couldn't handle social interaction, even with my own family, I'd wait til they went to sleep at night to eat. I didn't speak online or anything. I just read, slept and occasionally watched a film if I could concentrate long enough. This song literally feels like I'm standing in a mirror at night watching myself age away. Like I thought I knew myself and knew what I wanted, but suddenly everything was pulled from under me and I was wishing I could go back to having that confidence and being that happy.

RED: I was 19, I still had never fell in love or dated, all my friends had gone to university, I had no job and I felt like a loser. I literally felt like so lonely and lost. Occasionally I'd be dragged out by old school friends to go clubbing, and predrinks we'd play 22 and WANEGBT. It was glimpse of happiness. Those songs as bubble gum pop they hold a special place. And 'I knew you were trouble' holds a special place in my heart.

1989: I had recently started dating someone and we fell in love pretty quick and pretty hard, he soon learnt of my love for TS, and most nights we'd play her music. I'd gotten a job where I felt I had purpose and I made new friends and was social again. It was a much happier era and time although it wasn't without its sad times.

Wildest Dreams: First time I had romantically danced with anyone even if it was in my nan and grandad kitchen, it was butterflies in the stomach, silly and nice. Plus, my bf would always sing the song as if it was written about him which always made me smile.

Clean: I had just lost my grandad to cancer after caring for him for a few months, he raised me and my siblings and I felt like I'd lost my parents all over again. Me and my friend had planned to see 1989 in Hyde Park. And I was considering not going cause it was so soon after the funeral, and I felt I'd be too sad. But the whole tour helped me escape home life for a night, the clean speech really hit a nerve and what Taylor said that night was exactly what I needed to hear..you can bet I sobbed. I still listen to the speech on my phone when I'm feeling really bad. That song will forever shine in my mind.

Rep: okay. Deep Breath. This was a highly stressful time, I was working full time and over hours at the hospital, I had just lost my grandad, and was caring for my grandmother whos still suffering with dementia, and trying to help the police with finding my brother who was in trouble for fraud, theft and drug possession. I'd get calls in the middle of the day saying my nan was shouting at the staff in the store for her money thinking it was the bank. I was pulled in half. I had a very difficult and selfish uncle who did nothing but pass judgements and make snide comments and I snapped. I left home that day. I never spoke to him again. I also cut my brother off. I went on holiday. Came back crashed at my bfs house and we moved into a apartment together 2 weeks later (rented) I went back to see my nan ofc, and things got messed up for her/ and the house which always make me sad but it only proved how much I actually did and how underappreciated I was. I stepped in when needed but whatever. It was a stressful time and I was pretty mad. So "DSB" & "LWYMMD" really helped that anger and turned it into empowerment. I also cut alot of toxic people out of my life and just never spoke to or off them again. Also her poems from that, 'why she disappeared' and 'if you're anything like me' they just hit hard... Again sometime I feel like Taylor's in my head. Also that tour! Beautiful evening!

"Don't blame me" - in love, in our own place, traveling Europe, some say it's become my whole life and like I've let everything go and become focused on all that. But I think after 5 years if love still doesn't drive you crazy then why are you still there.

Me! -- okay this song might not be as popular in the fandom but you know, I actually think it's great when you're in a long term relationship you feel frustrated, we all have our faults and this song is a happy way to talk about that, yes I'm troubled and I have issues, but you won't find somebody who loves you and as crazy and passionate as me! Hehehe. ;)

YNTCD - haha, literally every BBQ or house party or if It comes on the radio at work. It's blasted every body dances and it's a moment to be happy.

Archer - I didn't cry like many people have claimed to. I think I have hardened over the years so maybe it's that. But yeah I felt those words, about treachery, anxiety, insecurity and wanting people to stay through it all. Life is not without its ups and downs, I feel grateful that I have friends and a boyfriend of 5 years who have witnessed, my broken down, dark and angry side and really let me express myself and allow me to not suffer alone. I've had people judge me, and alot of belittlement, and undermining what I've been through. But those who actually care do stay. And that's beautiful and that's why this song is a masterpiece.

I can't wait to hear lover. But I'm also interested to see how I connect to it and incorporate it into my daily life.

Life On The Farm (Poem) . I miss the dirt under my fingernails, and sweat matted hair. . Paying no attention to the clocks ticking by. . Sleeping soudly from satisfied fatigue. . Waking at the sound of the rooster crowing. . Resting only when the job was done. . The serenity of the star filled night sky. . The moon that shone light into the late working hours. . Tasting the product of your own making. . The meals made from tired but loving hands. . But most of all, . I miss my mum and dad and the unity and bond of my family. . July 11 2019 . . . . . . . .
