Most nights, I listen to music to help me fall asleep. I open Spotify and play the album I want to hear. Sometimes, during the night, I wake up between dreams and there is a song that I need to stay up for a minute and listen to.
This was one of those songs, “Only You” by Selena Gomez, a soft love song that is so soothing in the middle of the night.
Pretend yesterday was a day where your self-confidence hit the ground, and it felt pretty sad. You feel emotion just a bit too deeply most days. This morning, you wake up relatively in the same position but ready to accomplish something to feel better. And your people notice and pick you up and support you. And you start feeling like people believe in you and you should believe in yourself. You’ve got a sense of “You’ve Got This” again.
That was my day; those were my days. I have people to rely on.
And this song is floating through my head, “The Last Time”, because all I really listen to is Taylor Swift these days. There’s a reason. I enjoy the feelings in most of these songs.
But this, I’m sure it was meant to portray a last chance to revive a relationship. But to me, today, it meant feeling a need for holding me up a little bit and providing some support, which I was happy to receive without even asking. Thanks to my tribe today.
Have a listen here:
Taylor Swift – The Last Time – Lyrics – Feat. Gary Lightbody – Bing video

This was one of my songs on repeat today. I enjoy my driving trips back to the City. As I listened to the new Red (TV) album, this one struck home with me.
In one of my Reddit groups, someone asked the question: Which song would you assign to your zodiac sign? I know some don’t believe in Zodiac signs, but I do. I could only find one song to mention at the time, but I asked, what else would say “moonchild” to you.
A person said “which one wouldn’t?” So right. Moonchildren are so emotional. Sometimes, I wish I were any other sign, but it’s so amazing to “get” and feel so many of the Swift lyrics. They’re all so romantic and emotional, heart-breaking and sometimes just “cross me and be worried”. Love them. Especially this today:
You said it in a simple way
4:00 a.m. the second day
How strange that I don’t know you at all
Stumbled through the long goodbye
One last kiss, then catch your flight
Right when I was just about to falI told myself, don’t get attached
But in my mind, I play it back
Spinning faster than the plane that took you
And this is when the feeling sinks in
I don’t wanna miss you like this
Come back, be here
Come back, be here
I guess you’re in New York today
I don’t wanna need you this way
Come back, be here
Come back, be hereThe delicate beginning rush
The feeling you can know so much
Without knowing anything at all
And now that I can put this down
If I had known what I’d known now
I never would’ve played so nonchalant
Taxi cabs and busy streets
That never bring you back to me
I can’t help but wish you took me with you
And this is when the feeling sinks in
I don’t wanna miss you like this
Come back, be here
Come back, be here
I guess you’re in London today
And I don’t wanna need you this way
Come back, be here
Come back, be hereThis is falling in love in the cruelest way
This is falling for you and you are worlds away
In New York, be here
But you’re in London, and I break down
‘Cause it’s not fair that you’re not around
This is when the feeling sinks in
I don’t wanna miss you like this
Come back, be here
Come back, be here
I guess you’re in New York today
And I don’t wanna need you this way
Come back, be here
Come back, be hereOh-oh, oh-oh
I don’t wanna miss you like this
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Come back, be here
Come back, be here
Love this short movie directed by Taylor Swift. At this moment, 2.3M people have upvote this well-done short movie. A few lucky influencers were invited to a private showing by Taylor, which had to be exciting! She performed the acoustic version at the private showing and the people there received signed posters, as well.
This is the first album rollout I’ve witnessed with so much publicity. I became an avid Swiftie when the Lover album released. Then, Folklore and Evermore were surprises.
It’s good to have 2 more hours of listening. It’s interesting watching r/TaylorSwift and being involved with the many discussions.
Taylor’s the guest host on Saturday Night Live. Can’t wait to see it. Red Release week isn’t over yet. 🧣
I’m shocked at myself, being the fan I am, that I’ve only just found this video today. Best. thing. ever!
Strangly, I just heard this term yesterday. It’s “Glamor Camping”, all smushed together.
I just happened to catch this on my browser this morning, so I thought I’d check it out. I’m going to look through it and see if anything catches my attention.
What do YOU think?
So, awhile ago, before Facebook took off, there was a thing called “Blogging”. When blogging was a thing, there was a general small crowd of people who followed your blog and essentially you didn’t have to be exposed to all of the opinions of the public at-large, just write for yourself, see if your small circle of followers chimes in, or doesn’t, and no one really minds what you write.
So, here we are, back to square one.
Just in case you need to catch up on every little bit of my life until now, you can also find me at:

And before that: https://lisasplace.wordpress.com/ (2007 – 2008)
I blogged before that on blogspot.com, but I think I have deleted that one by now.
More soon.
