Speak Now

For those of you who know me well you know that I'm pretty much unhealthily obsessed with Taylor Swift and anything involving her music or life. I love her love for people, I love that she goes out into the audience and hugs her fans. She gives so much to them. When Cooper and I broke up I couldn't listen to her music for about a week because it all reminded me of Cooper. Today Taylor's new CD came out I was at Walmart at midnight to get it, BUT I failed to realize that the delivery truck wouldn't be there until the next day. Today I purchased Speak Now at my local Target along with a Speak Now shirt which I am proudly wearing right now. Its a great CD and I would recommend it to anyone. :) 

Now on the the purpose of this blog post, I've been trying to think of a way that I could incorporate my love for Taylor Swift to my blog about Love. I was bitter toward Taylor for a few days for giving me an unrealistic view on how falling in love should be but she says it best herself "Its all wrong until you get it right, right? I have to keep telling myself that". I don't normally go all crazy with celebs, I see them as normal people who just happen to be a little more popular than myself. I think why I like Taylor so much is because I can relate to her, we have so much in common. Her personality just puts a smile on my face, and I've been told my personality does the exact same thing. Her sense of humor is almost exactly like mine. We have the same interests, singing and writing. She expresses herself through her music and I express myself through journalling and blogging and writing the occasional song. I realized that I can use her new CD's theme in my blog "Speak Now" as in "Speak now or forever hold your peace" in a wedding ceremony, she states in her secret message that I decrypted from the album booklet "You Always Regret What You Don't Say" I can't say how many times that I have wanted to say something or felt like I needed to say something but didn't. Why didn't I Speak Now? There are countless reasons, the biggest one is fear, the next is pride,and then the awkwardness it could cause. I regret it every time (unless it was something mean) and I wish I could go back and say what I needed to say. I've felt the urge to share the Gospel with someone and didn't I felt the need to talk to someone more popular than me, but I didn't. I get so shy, especially around older more mature adults. I always get worried that I'm going to say something stupid. That's why I hate phone conversations I would much rather send a text message or a facebook message than talk on the phone. I'm learning to Speak Now because the right moment is just that, the only right moment to say something.
