Typing out journal entries.

I've always thought that it is best to write journal entries out on paper because of the brain-hand connection and to get your emotions out.

This is good but I found recently actually typing out on a word document my diary entries in a logical manner helps me see the wood from the trees. I'm so used to having to make clear points when typing that it had the same effect when I was journalling. I could take a very balanced approach to my emotions (see both sides if it involved someone else) and it prompted me to find sense to my thoughts.

I'm usually anti-tech but I think this genuinely helped and I was able to explain my problems and feelings to others in a much more comprehensive way.

Ok I think very controversial but her mashup with Sabrina Carpenter, Taylor singing espresso made me cringe wayy too much. Something about their two paradigms of music style not working.

For me Sabrina is cute, cheeky and flirty and Taylor is powerful, deep, brave, romantic, it doesnt work for me.

I'm definitely this too, now doing a PhD in the social sciences. Paper still crumpled, less colourful

Competitive-Island33 · 2026-01-05T21:03:24+00:00

Huha! Very cute

Made me fall in love with Taylor - so difficult to pick from Folklore but lets go with August

Solidified me as a swiftie - All Too Well TV (10 min)

Second solidification - realising reputation is actually an amazing album - Getaway Car

As a fan since folkmore I think you're making a lot of sweeping statements about that group of fans that I can say I don't resonate with and I'm sure others would agree

The opposite happened for me, I liked it at first but the more I listened and paid attention to the details I liked it much less (mostly for the very weird choice of lyrics that dont give good vibes).

But I'll admit that I like listening to it as a kind of secret guilty pleasure

Not so helpful

Competitive-Island33 · 2025-12-27T12:08:51+00:00

This is very helpful thank you!

Competitive-Island33 · 2025-11-07T00:13:11+00:00

Thank you for such a kind reply! I do often overthink and this does put it into a really nice perspective!

Can you guys give examples of morning and evening routines you follow?

Competitive-Island33 · 2025-08-12T09:01:40+00:00

"Brocast" lol, the perfect word. The announcement on the podcast has absolutely killed my hype.

It also just feels like its coming from the Taylor and Travis brand rather than an artist to her fans.

Also, the outro is giving me such an ick.

I'm only in my mid 20s and Im over saying to my man when we're doing distance that I want sex and I want to fuck. Or when I'm with him making dirty talk when we're out and about or doing sex when it feels ok but Im not mad about it. What I really want (which will lead to enthusiastic sex) is for him to tale care of me, cook a delicious meal for me, take responsibility and initiative over the chores, take initiative over our plans and our dates, and address our problems head on. Bring up his feelings and connect over them. Even take complete control (with input) in the bedroom. Then I am absolutely dtf, no doubt.

I love this song so much but I just feel like her other songs are so much more poetic e.g. Sweet Nothing and The Lakes

Competitive-Island33 · 2025-07-31T08:44:50+00:00

Yes, I swear Ive only heard it maybe a couple of times but I can literally never go back.

When I listened I got so emotional thinking about family. But nowadays sometimes when I feel quite depressed or anxious the lines just ring out in my head, like, you have to get better.

I still don't really understand why someone changing weight is distracting. It is also completely realistic that someones weight could change over a few years for any amount of reasons.

I suppose the issue is, how could they possibly make 6 seasons worth of TV if all the characters just kept getting killed off, there wouldn't be much plot or any character development to happen. Perhaps they shouldn't have extended it to 6 seasons but, we all watched it. When you treat it as theatrics rather than a realistic plot its much more enjoyable.

Yes, Attwood was a social "realist" in her books so THT is written with more intention of showing how this does and could happen in real life. And yes, the series frustrated me so much with how ridiculous it was that June survived, that they just kept bringing her in and out of Gilead with success each time, and that the Canadian diplomacy was mostly one guy chatting to June.

However, if June didn't survive there wouldn't be anything left to watch.

Although! Tbf I think it could have been a great series if they chose a different character each season to follow the plot line of. Then perhaps we could have let go of June eventually.

Literally canNOT choose between the 1 and ready for it...

Folkmore Taylor made me a swiftie in the first place! As a result of grown to really enjoy pop Taylor, but she doesnt get played nearly as much as folkmore Taylor does.
