There's a song of Miss Taylor's that really stands out to me from her Fearless album. I remember hearing "The Best Day" when Lauren and I were in the very beginning days of creating Kind Campaign. I heard it one day and thought... wow, this issue really does affect everyone. Here is this rising starlet, singing about coming home in tears when she was thirteen because of the things that her friends had said to her at school:
I'm thirteen now
And don't know how my friends
Could be so mean
And don't know how my friends
Could be so mean
I come home crying and you hold me tight and grab the keys
And we drive and drive
Until we've found a town
Far enough away
And we talk and window-shop
Until I've forgotten all their names
I don't know who I'm gonna talk to
Now at school
I know I'm laughing on the car ride home with you
Don't know how long it's gonna take to feel okay
But I know I had the best day
With you today
Far enough away
And we talk and window-shop
Until I've forgotten all their names
I don't know who I'm gonna talk to
Now at school
I know I'm laughing on the car ride home with you
Don't know how long it's gonna take to feel okay
But I know I had the best day
With you today
The song documents her childhood and how her she cherishes the relationship that she has with her mom. But, it was the above lines in the song really got my attention. It was just another reminder that every female has dealt with girl-against-girl "crime" at some point within their lives, and another reminder that WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER.
T-Swift is on the brain because Lauren and I got to see the lovely lady LIVE in concert!!! Thanks to Lauren's friend, Remy, we scored free tickets to the Taylor Swift concert here in Los Angeles! We had a super fun girl's night singing and dancing to the tunes of T-Swift!
She put on an incredible show and we had so much fun spending time with our girlfriends!
As school is about to start for so many of you, remember to keep this in mind: YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Cherish your friendships, have fun with your friends, and remember that it's okay at any age to have a girl's night out to be silly, to love each other, to sing and to dance around... that's what friends are for.

My favorite memory of this summer was when me and my friends all hung out at the pool all day!!!!! It wasn't a special celebration or anything, just a random day hanging out by the pool and it was just so much fun. None of us got into any fights or anything and we all just had a really good time!!
ReplyDeleteI am most excited about seeing all of my friends when I start school next week!!!!!!!!!! I hope that we can get through the year without any fights and instead of fighting, we just hang out and have a good time with one another. : ) : ) : )
My favorite memories with friends always include goofing around and being silly (what some may even call obnoxious). Many memories were had in college sitting around the sorority house doing nothing of significance but having a ball.
ReplyDeleteOne thing I will keep in mind this year is to make an effort to reach out to my friends. Once you aren't in school anymore it gets more difficult to keep in touch. So, keep those text messages and phone calls coming, everyone loves to feel loved!
