Listen, some days I'm not her biggest fan either, but... I don't understand why there's always so much slander against her.

It seemed she became #problematic around the time "Red" was released in 2012. Then "Shake It Off" came out and her dancing was all wrong and she appropriated ballerinas and ohmigod Jenny, she sucks!!

I don't know. Taylor came into my life when I was 12 years old and she hasn't left. Sure, I stan her and yes, I don't agree with all the decisions she makes, but how can you agree with everything a celebrity does when you ... don't really know their entire life?

It's so strange how fans and #RealPeople place so much pressure on celebrities nowadays. If they're not commenting on current events, they aren't woke. If they aren't marching down the street with a sign protesting the president, they must have voted for him right? ...But isn't that the same with some of you?

Sure, "Look What You Made Me Do" isn't my favorite Taylor song (let's talk more about "All Too Well" and the 10-minute long version that exists), and yeah I'm excited as hell to hear the rest of the album (we Certified Swifties™ know that this isn't exactly the sound she has in mind). Maybe it's petty bringing up old drama, but I think it's dope she's reclaiming her snake nickname (that's sooo "Blank Space" of her). She's a singer-songwriter, she's supposed to sing and write about her real life...what should she sing about? Cats??

And truthfully, the new single is just...funny. Everyone stating problematic things about her off of a 3 minute song brings her more publicity - why else is the song #1 in the US? The fact that people who state they don't care about her that are tweeting about her is so funny. I love fake news! (Don't worry, I've been sending funny and offensive tweets about her to all my friends too.)

Since I wrote this, her video was released, and if you ask me, I died. That was truthfully the funniest thing I've ever seen. Especially the last 30 seconds with 15 different Taylors all acting catty and calling each other out. After watching the video numerous times and cross-referencing Tumblr posts, I found all the tiny details she put into the video. The girl is hella smart, you can't deny that. From the clamoring Taylors trying to get to the top to the name of the company called "Stream Co." referencing her letter to Apple Music, the girl nailed down everything. Iconic.

Another aspect about this is that people are mad about her marketing, but her team trying this special Verified Fan Tickets from Ticketmaster is genius. I get it, it's dumb to make fans pay money so they get priority tickets...but don't fans typically preorder albums and buy merchandise when it comes out? Everyone's favorite band does this. How is what she's doing any different?

I understand the drama and I understand why people are mad. But, can't you focus on something other than a 3-minute song that people are mostly over by now? And as my friend said,

It's Taylor Swift. She's changing herself. Get over it.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
