About this episode
Alana Michaels reflects on a recent relationship and the lessons learned through the lens of Taylor Swift's lyrics.
"I had a bad habit of missing lovers past ... my brother used to call it ... eating out of the trash." Another perfect line from Taylor swift that changes my perspective... or I guess SHOWS me a pattern that I have been guilty of ... and I didn't even realize it was a bad thing. If you have been listening ... I have recently ended a short but important relationship ... it was my first "official" relationship since 2019... and I had "big plans and high hopes." Problem is ... I was looking at this person as "he has such amazing potential" ... and NOT seeing him for who he was ... right in front of me. This just goes to show... I can be aware of certain things in my life, and try to help all of YOU out there as I record my life experiences ... yet here I was, in a very unhealthy situation for just a short time ... but it will leave the "life lesson" it just taught me ... forever. Thank you for listening guys.
