am i gentle or am i scared?

i draw hearts next to intense items on to do lists. is it in kindness to and in support of myself? or because even in my own writing i am afraid to come off demanding or anything less than sweet?

Only when your girlish glow, flickers just so, do they let you know: It's hell on earth to be heavenly. Them's the breaks, they don't come gently. Clara Bow - The Tortured Poets Department (2024)

As for “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me,” Swift revealed that she wrote the tune “alone, sitting at the piano in one of those moments when I felt bitter about just all the things we do to our artists as a society and as a culture.” “There’s a lot about this particular concept on ‘The Tortured Poets Department,'” she added. “What do we do to our writers, and our artists, and our creatives? We put them through hell. We watch what they create, then we judge it. We love to watch artists in pain, often to the point where I think sometimes as a society we provoke that pain and we just watch what happens.”

Taylor on “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me” and TTPD (Variety)

I CANNOT KEEP WRITING THIS LESSON PLAN

part of being an educator is realizing that ur teachers probably also had to write 20 page plans for a 30 minute lesson in college.

anyways i just find it strange that i haven't mentioned teaching on here bc it is such a big part of my life (my purpose or whatever).

anyways if anyone has any questions abt literacy im ur girl

high functioning depressed bitches rise!

✅ responsible for emotional state of entire family from a young age

✅ generally bubbly personality despite internal fear and despair

✅ will be in the absolute depths of misery and mental illness but work and academic performance will never once falter

sometimes i try to talk to my friends about being upset and i get so so uncomfortable bc my whole life i was taught not to burden other people with my sadness so i end up either apologizing or comforting them every time!

TAYLOR SWIFT The Tortured Poets Department

who's afraid of little old me?

mad woman

I have been unable to stop finding parallels / making connections between this album, taylor's past work, and any sort of poetry/prose/lyrics I can think of <3

Do you understand the violence it took to become this gentle?

anon (?)

I was tame, I was gentle 'til the circus life made me mean

who's afraid of little old me?, taylor swift

duality of man (by man i mean me)

im like if taylor swift and carrie bradshaw had a baby

that looked nothing like them and lacked profound writing skills

but both of those women have reached into my skull and pulled out lines that perfectly describe how i feel about being a "crazy woman".

men like easy, which is why i'll get your longing glances and she'll get your ring

top ten ttpd lyrics - first impressions!

I was tame, I was gentle 'til the circus life made me mean; "Don't you worry, folks, we took out all her teeth"

Put me back on my shelf; But first, pull the string; And I'll tell you that he runs; Because he loves me

You left your typewriter at my apartment; Straight from the tortured poets department; Who else decodes you?

I hate it here so I will go to secret gardens in my mind; People need a key to get to, the only one is mine; I read about it in a book when I was a precocious child

Beauty is a beast that roars down on all fours; Demanding more; Only when your girlish glow flickers just so

You wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me; So all you kids can sneak into my house with all the cobwebs

At the park where we used to sit on children's swings; Wearing imaginary rings; But it's gonna be alright, I did my time

And it was written; I got cursed like Eve got bitten

They said, "Babe, you gotta fake it 'til you make it" and I did; Lights, camera, bitch, smile

So I crossed my thoughtless heart; Spread my wings like a parachute; I'm the albatross; I swept in at the rescue

i keep going back and forth on the order but here!
