Taylor Swift Is Right, We Need To Calm Down

But I've learned a lesson that stressin' and obsessin' 'bout somebody else is no fun

Taylor Swift you need to calm down

I think lately, we could all learn a thing or two about calming down. What better way to showcase that than Taylor Swifts new song, "You Need To Calm Down". We're all so caught up on things that we are offended by and don't like, that we are not even enjoying the things that we do.

"And I ain't tryna mess with your self-expression"

We're so obsessed with what everyone else is doing and what it is that they're doing that we don't agree with. It is definitely time we start letting people enjoy their life and enjoy our own. Who are you to take someone else's happiness away? Is it worth sacrificing your own?

"You need to calm down, you're being too loud"

Instead of speaking up against someone else, what if we spoke up with them? Imagine the world we could live in if everyone was a littler nicer to each other. If we came together for a common cause instead of picking each other apart of about ones that don't even matter in the greater scheme of things. Didn't your momma ever tell you if you didn't have anything nice to say, to not say it at all?

"Like can you not step on our gowns?"

I use to focus so much on what other people were doing and whether or not I liked it or not, but I realized that it was taking away from my own happiness. Other people are really just out there living their life and I have no place to make judgments about it. I have tried switching up my mindset and focusing on the good and positive things, what I do like and what I do want to be involved in. I think we should all strive to have a mindset like that, we will be a lot happier in the end.

"We all know now we all got crowns"

If someone else is living a life you don't agree with, guess what? It's not your life and you don't have to life it. We're allowed to be happy and do the things that make us happy, unapologetically. Calm down and focus on your own life and happiness, instead of taking away someone else's.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
