I uploaded this picture of Taylor Swift for two reasons, both rather shallow: I love her, and I love the ocean.

I am so proud of myself this year because I have stuck to my guns on so many things, and made such a conscious effort to improve; and Taylor Swift's music is part of what inspires me to do that. Its odd to have someone to look up to when you are almost 20, but I really do look up to her. I have spent so long being moderately-happy that I am really conscious now of the things that make me genuinely happy, and  I think thats why I enjoy her music so much, because it reminds me of so many things that I have been through that were not so happy, and yet I look at where I am now, and I know that it all happened for a reason.

Plus, nothing makes me happier than frolicking on the shore!
