mainly for my beautiful idol,
partly because of the accumulated guilt over the last six months of abandoning this blog.
And within the six months of slaking,
two complaints were received, one contained explicit language. (No offence, I'm thankful for both of you indeed)
It's just during the study I was too preoccupied to spare some time for this blog.
And even after the study, the motivation won't come easily due to the long discontinuity.
I promise I will try harder to update more frequently and maintain the momentum,
to keep those who really care about me updated.
Okay, back to my beautiful Tay.
Yesterday was her birthday and naturally I was thinking something about her.
And a question hit me out of nowhere during my contemplation.
Why am I so obsessed with Taylor Swift?
Many people have asked me this question and I never seriously thought about the answer.
If I was to give a one-line answer,
I guess it would be that,
There are times when you are most vulnerable and you always find the remedy in the same source, so you just fall in love with the source.
When I'm feeling hyped I will sing Shake It Off or Blank Space,
when I'm feeling nostalgic I will go Two is Better Than One or Safe and Sound,
Love Story and You Belong With Me and White Horse if I'm feeling country,
and I'm waiting for the day I turn 22 so I can sing 22 feeling what it's like to turn 22.
Regardless what I feel I can always listen to her songs and I never fail to find a remedy there.
And good thing, if you break up you can listen to all her songs.
Not that I'm biased to this girl for no fair reasons,
but if you look into the lyrics of her songs (which she writes herself),
the lyrics are never cliches or some annoying sexual metaphors,
but really meaningful and affectionate depiction of love (mainly break ups).
This girl is incredibly creative and talented and artistic,
this is one of the reasons I see so much in her.
She is not only beautiful outside but also very good-hearted.
She always donates (a lot of) money to those affected by various circumstances,
always goes to hospital to see her fans to help them go through the hardest time,
always thinks about her fans and prepares surprises for them.
Some of my friends actually came to me and told me how bad Taylor was as a person.
I accept the fact that half of the world hates her.
I mean, we live in a world that people like us for one hundred reasons and hate us for just one reason.
And sometimes I hate some people for no reasons or simply because their existence annoys me so I understand it all too well.
Everyone has their unique flaws and hers was changing handsome British boyfriends every three months.
And that reason is strong enough to irritate people.
But no, I won't be moved so easily.
It's like I grow up listening to her songs,
and I'm still gonna sing some of her songs when I'm 60 (if I happen to live that long, that is).
Her existence has already hugely influenced me, positively I hope,
and I never regret that the influence has taken place.
This blog post was initially meant to wish her happy birthday,
but now it looks like a proselytism (persuading people to join another religion) post.
This is the unknown sad story of a blogger,
you always end up writing shit that you didn't intend to write.
But yea,
Happy 27th Birthday to Taylor Swift.
You will never read this but I have to do this before I become mature and don't give a damn on you anymore.
