Taylor Swift floklore Track by Track Breakdown
1. the 1 the 1 (In my interpretation) is a song about thinking about a past love that she wished would have worked out and whishing that they would have ended up together, but sometimes “the greatest loves of all time are over now”. This song is also about personal growth, because when Taylor says “And if you never bled, you’re never gonna grow” which puts on emphases that if we don’t go through pain and hurt, we are never going to learn or grow up. It is just a part of life. This song is great, and I love the nice slow and calm beat that comes along with it. This song and the rest of the album is stripped back, and it really puts a spotlight on the acoustics

The love of creating
I have always been naturally slow to wake up in the morning. Always struggling to get out of bed, and I have always seen this as time wasted. So instead of just lying in bed fighting myself to get up, what I do is I write. I write, songs, poems, short stories, book reviews. Just as long as I am writing. This is a good way to start the day for me, so I don’t feel like I am wasting time. I just love to write. I have always wanted to be an author, and what better time than right now with this pandemic going on to practice it (Since we all have the extra time now days). I find writing so calming and easy. Writing just seems so naturally to me, the words just flow out and it is such a magical feeling. Writing in the morning also wakes up my brain in the morning and gets me motivated to do something productive. It definitely does set the tone for the rest of the day.

What Skill Would You Like to Master?
Well for me I would like to master many things and be good at everything. But I know that that is not possible. So, I will narrow it down to a few things. The first skill I would like to master is Gymnastics, but more specifically the balance beam. I have always grown up watching gymnastics and wanting to be an Olympic Gymnast and the balancing beam has always caught my eye. He balances beam is tough and challenging which I like but it is also elegant, plus I just love the strength and flexibility of gymnasts. Gymnasts work so hard and are probably one of the fittest athletes you can find, and what they can do with there bodies are incredible. It is so impressive. Gymnastics is definitely one of the hardest sports out there and it heavily relies on trusting yourself you land the tricks, and trusting your body do all of the ticks and flips correctly. I just love the challenge and hard work of gymnastics. I am always left amazed by the talent.

A writer becomes trapped inside their own book.
It is 11:45pm, and I am nowhere near done with my book. My deadline is next month, and I still have a quarter of the book to write. I got to this point because I have been procrastinating most of the time. I go into writing a book head strong and then lose motivation the further I go into it. And once the motivation is lost; I fall behind so quickly. I have asked for many extensions, but the editor finally had enough of my excuses and if I don’t complete it in time, I will lose my book deal.
