10 Things I Learned from Taylor Swift

Love Doesn't Necessarily Mean living in a fairy tale

Falling in love with someone isn't about fancy dinners, chivalry, or being a perfect couple. Sometimes its about passion. Sometimes its full of wanting, needing, wishing, and giving. You fall in love with the quirks and the crazy things. Sometimes its screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain. Sometimes its a roller-coaster rush. (That's the way I Loved You)

Sometimes You can Tell When They're Trouble

Some people give you that feeling from the first moment they step into your life. Don't ignore your gut when its telling you somethings off. Trouble is fun, but its only temporary fun. (Trouble)

Some people are going to be hard to let go of, even when you're the one who chose to separate yourself
You know that moment when you realize that someone in your life isn't good for you even if you love them? That feeling really sucks. But its a life lesson most of us aren't going to be exempt from. We all have to learn to let go. It hurts- trust me, I know. Every time I don't call him, I almost do. (Almost Do)

You have to be able to recognize the bad, 
even when it looks good.
Sometimes a knight on a white horse just isn't the right guy for you. You may just want everything to eventually work out the way it did in your head with that person.. but its time to face the facts. That relationship might not actually be as nice as your making it out to be. My mistake, I didn't know to be in love, you had to fight to have the upper hand. (White Horse)

We're made up of the little things we take for granted 
Its the little things like slamming of screen doors that make up who we are as people, and the relationships we have with others. Your song life if full of all of these wonderful things that we take for granted. Spend a little time enjoying them. (Our Song)

You learn from Experience
When you're fifteen, and somebody tells you they love you, you're going to believe them. As you get older, you'll collect more experiences, and you'll learn from them. And next time it happens, you'll know what to do. (Fifteen)

One person can Change your Entire life
Embrace the random people you meet on a daily basis. You never know who is going to come into your life change it forever. (Everything has Changed)

You Will Make It
Life can sometimes be really good at overwhelming us. It can feel unbearable. You can feel like you just want to give up. You can feel like you can't breathe. But that feeling will end. Remember that. You might feel like you can't breathe without them, but you have to. And you will. (breathe)

There comes a point when you have to stand up for yourself.
You should never be afraid to ask if you deserve better than what you're being given. There comes a point when you have to stand up for yourself and confront the people hurting you in your life. Don't hesitate when the time comes. (Tell Me Why)

Don't Be Afraid To Take Chances
Don't become jaded to life. We all have to go through hard times. And we will get through them. Don't forget that life's experiences make you a stronger, wiser person. And don't let them stop you from taking a chance at getting what you want in the future. (Jump then Fall)
