I am mildly obsessed with Tortured Poet's Department -- I listened to it three times in a row yesterday! I love that her songwriting is so confessional. As someone who knows as much as anyone that it's a dangerous game to try to tease what's real out of a story (because I use a lot from real life), I confess I still find myself googling which ex a certain song of hers is about 😆

I don't really listen to Taylor Swift but from the sounds of it her 'characters ' aren't very different from the people I hear in the hard rock and metal I tend to listen to. Especially songs from bands like In This Moment and Slipknot. Guess we are all just trying to plug through our emotions and relationships and relationship fallouts when they drop out. I know I am. I'm happily married but I had a friendship end after 10 years of not so good times but also filled with a lot of good things too. It's hard when people find they have nothing in common with you anymore-- where does the love go? I hope no one is afraid of little Ole me, but as you mentioned... maybe they should be. Ha.

Great writing as always. ❤️
