I am shunted between two places. If life’s a queen, I’ve lost my aces. I’ll follow them down where the brambles go. Far, far unseen. Down, down, where the larks all sing. And flitters past our leafy spring. I wander down each little road. Each path and signposts too. Twist and turn in the undergrowth. […]
It’s my first time in London all by myself. My first time ever, I had my family and friends with me, but now it’s different. I want to mark my journey with Harry Potter, expressing my love for JK Rowling, while sporting a spell that emits love and light on my body at all times. […]
The world is buzzing but I am soft. The wheels are churning but mine are stopped. How long until I find my heart? Oh, she calls from Northern Hills. From daisies, wild blues, indigo flower— far beyond the waking hour. The cycle of my mind’s last wills. I fight every day but it just gets […]
Waking up screaming From dreaming to a black and white screen. Covering life, or so it seems. I flit like a ghost and those that used to care the most are free from my scream, bursting free at the seam. Every dream just feels so real. And the Devil cackles As he reaps his deal. […]
“Taking care of your mind is just as important as taking care of your body,” they say. I’m sure you’ve heard that before, said by the same people who don’t understand, who could never understand just what it’s like inside your mind, your brain — dare I go as far to say ‘your soul?’ And […]
How did we get to wearing blue overalls while attempting Taylor Swift’s dance in “The Fate of Ophelia” music video, trying to be as (‘cool?’ Is that the right word? Please suggest) as ‘cool and slay’ as youngsters who have already memorized the Tik Tok. (Ah, the good old days of Musically and Vine, all […]
If you didn’t stay up until midnight on the night of the TS12 album release, covered in glittery friendship bracelets from the Eras tour and a friend’s small business clinging to both wrists, slightly tipsy after just having lost Taylor Swift trivia night at Trident Books, freshly listening to The Manuscript-and for some reason, ‘I […]
The atmosphere in the room is teemantalizing with excitement. People whisper to their seat neighbors as the lights dim. It’s 30 minutes after 2 pm, the scheduled time of the event’s start, and they’re *still* letting people in as the line curved around the block. I should know, I had to pass through it twice […]
What exactly is a Bazaar, besides a word describing utter ridiculousness? Which, at *my* first RI Bazaar, I rather thought was an appropriate word to describe said festivities. Pizza strips, for example, were *quite* bizarre, and they aren’t how they sound. I thought something was wrong when they brought out the strips with only sauce […]
Are you already listening to All Too Well Taylor’s Version (or perhaps having a Taylor album marathon) in preparation for The Life of a Showgirl? Wearing your cozy knit cardigans and red scarves, even though it’s blistering hot weather outside that’s hardly suitable for this fall season? Are you counting down the days ‘till the […]
