"Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus" from TTPD
This week’s reflection is on "Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus," a song that mirrors the emotional wreckage of my marriage. The lyrics delve into how emotional distance, distractions, and unresolved hurt tear apart relationships and, more importantly, how personal growth can lead one partner forward while the other remains stagnant.
"The Albatross” from TTPD
This week, I’ve been reflecting on Taylor Swift’s "The Albatross," a song that delves into the struggles of inherited burdens, the weight of addiction, and the battle for control. The lyrics struck a particularly deep chord with me as they resonate with my own experience of trying to distance myself from the addiction that runs in my family, only to find myself caught in its grip. This post is about breaking down the song and exploring how it connects to my own journey, particularly the realization that the fight against addiction is a battle I never expected to face, but one that I couldn’t ignore any longer.
