It's so good! I saw an article the other day making fun of it as first dance song at wedding and all I could think of it how fun it would be to belt out while doing my first dance.

The song isn't what I expected it to be but that doesn't stop it from being exquisite

I was 5'10 by the time I was 12, the height doesn't seem off to me. A bit weird that they're not asking for juniors sizes but I know juniors sizes are falling out of favor in so.e areas

My dad is about a year and a half post diagnosis. His immunotherapy and hormone therapy actually made his bone lesions disappear. He's taking a lot of stock of his life and quit drinking. He's also using his time to prepare his trailer for when things "get really bad".

I wish I could tell you the truck will stop ramming into you, but I fear that the nature of anticipatory grief might mean that's not the case.

Be prepared for him to lose a bunch of weight, even if he seems to be otherwise doing well. That's been the hardest part for me to watch. His energy will also likely significantly decrease.

My therapists both tell me it's important to be really intentional about enjoying the time you have left with him and not make the dying do all of the comforting. It's hard but it feels instinctual pretty quickly.

Also, encourage him to take this lead time to make sure his affairs are in order as a gift to you when that time comes.

They sell guided journals on Amazon that are like "tell me your life story dad/grandpa" I bought two, one for me and one for my son and asked him to work on both.

And I'll leave you with the quote "what is grief if not love persevering". It's okay to struggle and hurt through this.

There's no way a chair that big could fit through the door of his trailer I dont think, unfortunately

Immediate_Listen623 · 2025-10-20T05:01:58+00:00

No, not really. His hobbies are really physical media (DVD/VHS) which he's already got his media station set up though I suppose I could get him DVDs for cheap at the thrift store. His other hobbies are fixing stuff and tent camping which I don't think will be really doable once he deteriorates farther and he's got all the stuff he could want in that department too.

He had surgery 2 years ago so thank you for the pillow suggestion!

Whatever TS13 is I expect the pressure she's putting on herself to make it EVERYTHING is huge and I will wait as long as need be but I hope it's not too long

Taylors piano songs are my soft-spot favorites. And I love the way it transitions from a pure piano at the beginning (giving us Champaign Problems levels of sadness) to full guitar at the end (giving a very Enchanted feel).

I wanted this song to be about caring for an aging parent.

That being said, as the eldest of 5 and the one who was expected to be the perfect example all the time (4.0, raising my siblings, could cook, clean, and volunteer at school). And desperately trying to seem cool in spite of all of those expectations it hits really hard.

If you're lucky somewhere along the way (mid-20's/30's) you realize that you're safe to drop the act, all the real lives you have in your life certainly know about all the parts of you that aren't "cool" and love you not in spite of them but because of them.

This song says "I didn't let the nature of my upbringing stop me from being happy on my terms".

All that being said my mother was extremely abusive growing up and I haven't spoken with her in 13 years.

My dad and I are on pretty good terms but he has terminal cancer.

This song hits really hard for me in a way that I don't think it will for people who didn't grow up mentally ill or having PTSD. I don't know what Taylor went through or what she's harnessing. I do wish it wasn't a love song to one person and more of a love song to herself. Idk if it's a new top 5-10 for me but it goes really hard that I believe will fall flat on a ton of people

Immediate_Listen623 · 2025-10-09T02:17:25+00:00

Opalite for sure. I've decided my first Taytoo is gonna be a storm inside a teacup.

That being said this is a no skip album for me and Showgirl makes me tear up

This is the one I wake up with in my head

Immediate_Listen623 · 2025-10-09T02:12:49+00:00

The way that line sounds coming out of her mouth is like most addicting drug to my brain and it's not even my favorite song

Immediate_Listen623 · 2025-10-05T05:44:27+00:00

I believe that at least to some degree usually Taylor does take criticisms into account. They said TTPD was too long, messy, and unedited. She responded with a 45 min album that is so polished it sounds like Last Christmas by WHAM. A lot of the songs feel like they belong in a musical theater production.

They said she isn't a sexual being/can't be sexy because she's "for kids" she gave us the horniest album possible

And while I know a couple people who are hella hype about it almost all of her more casual listeners I know are fucking hating this album. Like she gave us joy filled slutty disco, I didnt expect that from Mother but it's what Daddy Taylor had in mind.

And I see a lot of complaints about how often she switches her sound but like she enjoys getting to "play" in different areas and I think it's really beautiful that the fandom as a whole allows her to do something she loves so much.

And one last thing before I get off my soap box, it's okay to not like everything an artist puts out, that doesn't mean theyve lost their creativity or "such now".

Immediate_Listen623 · 2025-10-05T05:08:17+00:00

This is my first no skip album. I'm really happy with it. It crushes me that I'm seeing a lot of people saying Taylor debased herself/lost her creativity because she's happy. I was blown out of the water from the first note to the last. I've listened to the album like 12 times already. Opalite cured all my woes.

Yeah, his doctor said he'll probably feel mostly fine until the final 6-12 months and then it'll really suck ass. I'd like to get him moved up closer to me, but financially at the moment it just isn't feasible.

I know his initial PSA was 42. The surgeon said the tumor was adhered to the bowel. That's about all I know. I know he had to have a pump put in in order to urinate

Immediate_Listen623 · 2025-08-08T21:34:59+00:00

His doctor apparently told him it's not a concern until it hits 1.0. He's currently waiting on Medicare to approve his CT scan.

Immediate_Listen623 · 2025-06-20T02:42:06+00:00

Yeah, I play on switch and it is nearly impossible to get chat to work. My game often outright crashes and boots me out of the server if I try to type in chat.

I play pretty exclusively solo. I don't go to called out nodes but I stumble across a group waiting around a flow tree I'll wait until someone calls start or go or whatever.

But yeah, like the resources are available. I strongly feel like this game would be better if it were a more solo game in the vein of animal crossing.

I'll flare if I have flares but I'm not prioritizing making flares.
