Tomorrow is the biggest day and test of my career thus far. I am so nervous and excited at the same time. So many emotions, so many jitters!

In other news, E and I are moving to the mountains soon (as in, in about a month)! I got the perfect job and even though we're super !!!?!? about packing/selling/moving across the country all while starting this high-stress job, it's going to be such a good adventure. Mountains and hopefully a puppy soon and a new home. Good things!!

Just got to get through tomorrow.

Northanger Abbey is so underrated like no offense but the heroine of that book is into sports and shenanigans growing up and doesn’t learn anything in school or have any accomplishments or interests until she has a growth spurt, gets hot, and reads so many gothic novels that she almost ruins her relationship w her love interest bc she convinces herself his house is haunted and does an inappropriate ghost hunt.

please meet my newest quarantine project: taylor swift playlists categorized by the development of my favorite motifs and themes in her songs!

can you see right through me? : songs about seeing others and being seen or known.

this is a big world, that was a small town : the romanticization of city life from her younger songs, the fresh new excitement of moving to a big city combined with the loneliness, the realization that the city has only become a fishbowl as more eyes are on her, her lover as the city.

i pace like a ghost : songs about being haunted or feeling like a ghost

2 a.m. who do you love? : staying up late, her most romantic moments happening first late in the night because she can’t sleep, then because it’s the most private time she has

i don’t wanna keep secrets just to keep you : beginning with the romanticization of a secret relationship until she realizes just how draining it is to keep secrets

oh, i remember : for better or worse, she’s always remembering!

love’s a game, wanna play? : love as a game, mostly sarcastically

the worthwhile fight : the passion and fighting in her earlier relationships, until she realizes the person she loves is involved in the fight with her not against her.

in dreams i meet you in warm conversation : meeting her lover in dreams

we can follow the sparks, i’ll drive : he drives, she drives, her mom drives. everyone’s driving

would you run away with me? : asking someone to run away with her, find privacy somewhere. first, in fantasies, then asking someone to genuinely follow her around the world

i don’t want you like a best friend : taylor’s take on the friends to lovers trope

up in my room and our slates are clean : taylor’s room starts as a very childish place, and somewhere she goes to fantasize about love. it then becomes the only private place she has between her and her lover, it becomes a sanctuary.

witches or mermaids? roses or sunflowers? autumn or spring? calm lakes or stormy seas? apples or cherries? paintings or statues? cottage in the forest or apartment in the city? horror or romance? diamonds or pearls? rome or tokyo?

John Mayer | Stop This Train

#stop this train#john mayer#a couple months ago i'd grabbed dinner with a friend and she was dropping me off at my apartment#and we were sitting in her car continuing this long discussion about all the big changes coming up in our lives#big moves and job shifts and weddings and kids and all that#and we talked about how excited we are but also how it's just a lot sometimes#(and joke's on us - this was BEFORE the whole world changed more than we could've ever imagined)#and it was just one of those moments where the conversation was wrapping up but i didn't want to leave yet but it still felt unfinished#(car conversations are the best conversations)#and so we sat in silence a bit and watched the flurries come down#and then just like out of the blue she goes 'you know i wish john mayer hadn't turned out to be such a jerk'#and she got her phone out and played this song while i sat there laughing at her comment#and i hadn't heard it in YEARS but i still somehow remembered all the words to it#(it's just Too Meaningful a song for me to ever really forget)#anyway we sat and listened to it and it was a really perfect ending to the moment i think#i don't often feel this way - i'm weird in that i love growing up i love getting older i love growing into my own#but sometimes this song creeps into my mind#when i think about aging as a broader process or i think about my parents or e's parents or lately when i think about this virus#and it's all i CAN think of#so anyway#here we are#music#reshma's tag stories#personal
