"Maybe you lost someone you never expected you would lose. Maybe you lost yourself, that's even worse. When you have bad days that just won't let up, I just hope that you will look in the mirror and remind yourself of what you are not. You are not your mistakes. You are not damaged goods or muddy from your failed explorations. You are not the option of someone who doesn't know you.

You are a product of the lessons that you have learned. You are wiser because you went through something terrible. And you are the person who survived a bunch of rainstorms and kept walking. I now believe that pain makes you stronger and I now believe that walking through a lot of rainstorms gets you clean."

~Speech said before 'Clean' on the 1989 tour.

-Taylor Swift

I've heard a few versions of this speech, but this is the main one that is everywhere.

I'm sorry about not updating for a while, I've just had a few terrible days, today being the worst. Especially because this one boy is being a jerk to me and he kind of slammed his ruler down on my desk today and yelled at me, so out of fright and everything I yelled out 'what the heck!' Which made everyone stop playing some stupid number guessing game. I'm just tired of boys being jerks to me at school.

I've spent the last few days listening to Taylor on repeat, so I wanted to update.

Also, some good news. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR NEARLY 50K!!!! I can't thank you all enough and I love you all so much (in a friend way btw)!!!
