Thank You, Taylor Swift | The Odyssey Online
Start writing a post

If you say that you've never had a five-star jam session to Taylor Swift, you're lying. Her songs undoubtedly make the perfect soundtrack to any kind of jam sesh you may need: the happy ones, the sad ones, the ones caused by you overthinking things a little too much, and the ones possibly caused by those heartbreakers from our past who don't even deserve a sliver of our thoughts. So, thank you, Taylor Swift, for giving me and millions of other girls (and occasionally guys who are too scared to fess up) the words we need to hear.

Call out our ex's (and maybe their new girls, too):

"I realize you love yourself more than you could ever love me."

"All you are is mean, and a liar, and pathetic, and alone in life, and mean."

"You are an expert at sorry, and keeping the lines blurry -- never impressed by me acing your tests."

"Soon she's gonna find stealing other people's toys on the playground won't make you many friends."

"You come around again and say, "Baby, I miss you and I swear I'm gonna change, trust me." Remember how that lasted for a day? I say, "I hate you," we break up, you call me, "I love you.


And to cry to on all of those days:

"So I drive home alone. As I turn out the light, I'll put his picture down and maybe get some sleep tonight."

"And I know it's long gone, and that magic's not here no more, and I might be OK, but I'm not fine at all."

"It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you, wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine."

"It rains in your bedroom, everything is wrong. It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone 'cause I was there when you said forever and always."

"And you call me up again just to break me like a promise, so casually cruel in the name of being honest."


And to make ourselves feel better after one of those days:

"You're beautiful, every little piece love, and don't you know you're really gonna be someone, ask anyone."

"We're happy, free, confused, and lonely at the same time. It's miserable and magical."

"Back then I swore I was gonna marry him someday, but I realized some bigger dreams of mine."

"We are too busy dancing to get knocked off our feet. Baby, we're the new romantics, the best people in life are free."

"Got the radio on, my old blue jeans and I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve. Feelin' lucky today, got the sunshine. Could you tell me what more do I need?"

"But I keep cruising, can't stop, won't stop moving. It's like I got this music in my body and it's gonna be alright."


The hours we have all spent rocking out to our favorite T Swizzle songs are countless (and maybe even a little embarrassing). But we all know her extremely relatable lyrics and catchy beats aren't going anywhere anytime soon. And for that, we are all thankful. Thanks, T. Swift, you're the bomb.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
