“I bury hatchets but i keep maps of where I put them” is such an interesting use of the metaphor because burying the hatchet means to make peace, where you would put your weapon down and bury them to show a fight was over, but if she keeps maps of where she puts them it shows how despite making peace she knew deep down that the fight isn’t over and knew that someone else she was “at peace with” would betray her, in this essay i will-

Before “Soon You’ll Get Better” came out I thought that the reason behind my intense instant ugly cry upon hearing “Ronan” was it’s intimate look at when a loved one has cancer.

My dad has been suffering with several kinds of cancers (one of them being chronic, so he’ll have to live with it forever) for the past 9 years if my life, I thought the tears would flow for SYGB the same way they do for Ronan, but I learned that my intense emotional reaction to R is probably linked to an the empathy for the evil I don’t know, losing a child to cancer. R gives me heartbreak, but SYGB gives me comfort.

SYGB is one of first times I’ve felt like someone knows exactly what I’m going through. Opening orange pill bottles, painting the kitchen, pretending this all isn’t real. I’ve always been thankful for you, @taylorswift , because I find in trying to make the world brighter and happier for everyone around me I’m sometimes too drained to create my own happiness and your music has restored me for the past ~13 years of my life. SYGB is a rejoiced new chapter in that “restoration” because it feels like a true friend giving me a big blanket and a cup of tea and, in the sincerest way possible, telling me they know exactly how I feel. In a situation like ours, where none of it is okay and it won’t go back to normal, it’s nice to not feel so alone. It’s nice to have a friend. Thank you @taylorswift

“Basically, I was playing around with the idea of quiet confidence. There’s something so sick about quiet confidence; somebody who, they’re not arrogant, they’re not cocky, like, that’s obnoxious. But, there are certain people who just walk in and they don’t need to be arrogant because there’s something beaming from within them that they probably aren’t even in control of. And when you meet a person like this, you’re like, ‘Why do I want to walk over there and talk to that person?’ I can’t explain it, but I think it’s this quality. It can be a really shy person, it’s not like you gotta be loud. Some people just seem like they know who they are, they don’t need to brag about it. And I think that’s such an interesting quality because I can’t really explain it. And so I wrote a song about that. I mention a street called 16th Avenue, and that’s a street in Nashville where I used to write songs. The songwriting/publishing houses are on that street, so if you’re wondering if I just picked a random number, I didn’t.”
