Recently I've been hearing the Taylor Swift song "Fifteen" on the radio, and it really seems to hit some spot in my heart. I think it really says a lot about what happens when you are young and "in love" (or at least in my own experiences)... you get caught up in another person sometimes and don't focus on being who you are- you end up becoming what they want (maybe not always, or completely, but in many ways).
This is the part that means the most to me:
When all you wanted was to be wanted
Wish you could go back
And tell yourself what you know now
Back then I swore I was gonna marry him someday
But I realized some bigger dreams of mine
And Abigail gave everything she had to a boy
Who changed his mind
And we both cried
Chorus
‘Cause when you’re fifteen
And somebody tells you they love you
You’re gonna believe them
And when you’re fifteen
Don’t forget to look before you fall
I’ve found time can heal most anything
And you just might find who you’re supposed to be
I didn’t know who I was supposed to be
At fifteen
It kind of makes me sad. To lose yourself, to give all you had, to believe you are "loved" and in love, only to be hurt in ways you didn't know were possible until they happened.
It breaks my heart when I hear this song. But I think it so perfectly describes what often happens.
