Quote

Dear You,

During the time that I'm moving you may see an increasing frequency of quote analyzations because I'm getting busy and really tired, packing is hard. However I will post everyday no matter what. So today's quote is one that I wrote on my awesome quote board (a big whiteboard that I keep on my nightstand and change every week)!

"Throughout all of the changes that have happened in my life, one of the priorities I've had is to never change the way I write songs and the reasons I write songs. 

I write songs to help me understand life a little more. 

I write songs to get past things that cause me pain. 

And I write songs because sometimes life makes more sense to me 

when it's being sung in a chorus, and when I can write it in a verse"

-Taylor Swift

I really enjoy this one because I've never wanted to waste my life doing something that made me unhappy. And I feel like I could get caught up in the whole writing-just-to-hope-someone-heard-it and-wanted-to-pay-me-for-it hype. It's really important, at least for me, to remember the message behind this quote.

When I was 13 years old I tried to write a song because "Taylor Swift does it", it was horrible because it was my first song and because I wasn't writing it for the right reasons. A little after I turned 14 my family went through something that specifically caused me a lot of pain and I remember feeling so horrible and picking up a notebook and writing it all down, all my haunting thoughts, all of my tears, all of my pain into words, conceivable rhyming words. This one was still really horrible but it made me feel better and I figured out how to write and I always think back to this specific situation and how it felt after I finished writing and the little girl who finally stopped crying.

I always want to be as innocent a songwriter as I was back then, writing because life hurts or because I really don't understand people and relationships and life most of the time. Sometimes I don't even know how I feel until I write it down and I never want to let those good intentions turn sour.

Have an Amazing Day!
