The saddest kind of sad is the sad that tries not to be sad. You know, when sad tries to bite its lip and not cry, and smile and say, “No I’m happy for you”? That’s when it’s really sad.

Just be fucking honest about how you feel about people while you’re alive.

Sometimes you tell someone to never call you again and then the phone rings and you hope it’s them. It’s the most twisted logic of all time.

Harry Styles getting more lashings from the 1989 Vault than John Mayer got from the Speak Now Vault was not on my 2023 bingo card

joe this, matty that, jake sucks. but perhaps the biggest villian here is john mayer. she conducted a post mortem on the girlhood she lost. presumably hurt by someone she trusted, was infatuated with. in order to get to her next chapter of life she had to fully recount the trauma she experienced at the hands of men much, much older than her. to go into your late 20’s and discover that you had not healed much (if any) and to see your life imploding. so now you must know why. hard on yourself because everyone blames the victim so you must blame yourself. you must be two steps ahead so you only fall one step back. because of course they’ll knock you down just to see if you’ll get back up again. you reinvent yourself to try and maintain a sense of control. you think everything is good but it’s not. the past keeps haunting you. you’ve fallen in love with someone new, only to realize he doesn’t love you. you are no longer a novelty. a prize to win. you are just another girl who will pay the price of a man’s harm while you watch him get away. now you’re stuck. in shambles, having to fix mess that he made and your fans are far too aware of how fucked up it all is. so you must hit. your. marks. you think you can fix the problems of someone else only to discover you must fix your own. but you’re too hard on yourself. and you fear you’ll end up alone. the tortured poets department.
