So much happened yesterday but let us not forget that the day started with Taylor dramatically sunbathing in a stadium followed by a homemade gif of herself complete with cartoon safari animals

Fun fact about “fake it til you make it” as a strategy of living, okay:

For the past two years or so I’ve been doing it. Like, wearing clothes I like and agreeing with people telling me I’m pretty and taking loads of selfies and telling myself (and others, loudly) ‘damn I look good today!’

So this summer, my little brother noticed. He’s very sweet and cuddly, so he often tells me I’m beautiful/pretty/cute and a few weeks ago he said to me, “You always agree with me now, you didn’t before.”

Because it’s true, I always used to reply to him things like, ‘that’s not true’ or ‘you’re cuter’ or ‘shhhh noooo’ while now I’m usually like ‘damn right’ or ‘yes i’m super hot.’

So I explained to him the ‘fake it til you make it’ approach.

Now, my brother is really pretty handsome. Like, he could be a model. Like, he’s tall and has dimples, and a dashing smile and great hair and he wears glasses and he’s damn cute and I tell him so all the time, and he always replies like, ‘wtf no I’m ugly’ or ‘no you’re the hotter sibling’ or ‘it’s not true.’

Except, in the past few weeks, after I’ve explained this to him, I noticed he’s starting to answer me with ‘yeah I’m the cutest’ or saying, spontaneously, ‘well we’re the most attractive couple of siblings ever, huh?’ 

He doesn’t do it all the time, but he’s starting to.

Which I’m starting to realise might be an after effect of what I’ve been doing and showing him.

Bottom line: ‘fake it ‘til you make it’ works and makes you feel better about yourself, and self-love is amazing, and the thing is, it sets an example for the younger people around you, and the people that you love.

So help the world, tell yourself you’re fucking hot.

REBLOG FOR ALL THE LUCK IN THE WORLD

Fuck it.

“I’ve always been an easily excitable person. I am also easily hurt, but that’s another story for another time. Let’s just say I’m easily moved. A few years ago I realized that being easily moved isn’t necessarily normal in my line of work, or in this cynical world we live in.”

When the Wildest Dreams MV comes out, let's thank Taylor by breaking the VEVO record (again) by viewing it over 20.1 million times in the first 24 hours of release.

Spread the word.

Currently being mind blown by the fact that This Love started out as a poem and Taylor was able to turn it into the most beautiful, peaceful song that still has a poetic feel to it.

I cannot wait until a day when I feel free enough to being myself.

I cannot wait until a day in which I finally wake up and see myself in the mirror and am proud of who I’ve become.

I cannot wait for a day when I can look around and feel like everyone excepts me for who I am and are ok with it.

And I cannot wait for a day where I can finally see my life adding any sort of meaning towards the world.

One day, I hope that I end up feeling like I don’t have to hide what I want to do with my life, where I want to go and who I want to be.

Everyday I feel like I have to hide who I am and what I’m thinking.

Everyday I wake up and look in the mirror and daydream about what it would be like to appreciate the hand I was dealt.

Everyday I look around and feel like people don’t except me, judge me, and don’t respect who I am as a human.

Everyday I hope that one day my life will contribute something meaningful to the world and I won’t be another blank face in the masses.

I hope I end up happy.

For those of you who have fallen in love with ‘Skittles Guy’ because of the video of a man passionately selling Skittles before my show on the Red Tour, I got to meet him tonight. His name is Derrick and he knows you guys are obsessed with him. He sells lemonade now and comes up with rhymes to sell it and just generally delights people in the crowd. I was really excited to meet someone who puts such personal flare into his job. Tonight’s crowd was unreal and I love you guys so much.
