Life is messy. We constantly have things thrown at us that we don't think we can recover from. We have a bad day and tell ourselves that we can't get back up. We get yelled at in class, something goes wrong at work, a friend decides they don't want to continue the friendship anymore, or a lover tells you that they don't want you anymore.

These are just a few situations that people around the world are going through as we speak. Every single day, we face hardships. We have days where we feel like everything is going wrong, days that we don't even know what to do with ourselves anymore.

These situations can result in feeling lost. At the point where one feels lost, they don't know what to do with themselves. Multiple things go bad and suddenly, we start to question everything in our lives; even the good. We question our jobs, our majors, our schoolwork, our family life and our relationships. Nothing feels right anymore and we don't know what to do.

But, here's the thing about being lost. It is TEMPORARY.

The one thing that people don't understand is that it's normal to feel lost.

In life, we have to question things more than once because we want to make sure we're making the right choices. We have to go through hardships because they will make us stronger in the long run.

Feeling lost in life is crucial at least one or twice, or honestly however many times until we feel like we finally have it figured out.

DO NOT settle for a life that you don't believe is good enough for you.

It's okay to feel lost.

It's okay not to be okay.

I promise you, that no matter how you're feeling right now - you're going to find your way home.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.

I just know that the idea of releasing vault tracks came out of the moment Taylor remembered she wrote 'Is It Over Now?'

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition
Edited by Hailey Hastings

I am fully emersed into diving deep into every single Taylor Swift album, which I do on my own all the time, but wanted to do it in a way where I am sharing what a special discography she has. I feel like 1989 is the perfect place to start, it's an era that changed everything, and will always be an album people automatically think of when you say "Taylor Swift."
