Don't say you love me

Aloha people!

I've been busy with school, having the last exams and summer holiday starting on Saturday. Can't wait.

I haven't really been up to much lately. Had this camp thing over the weekend, was pretty lame though. It's been raining quite a lot lately, but the weather's getting better now.

There's this one thing I've been meaning to post about for a long time, but for some reason never have. Have you people ever thought about "I love you" properly?

I've noticed, that it's much easier to say "I love you" in English than in Finnish. Even though I'd say my English is pretty fluent, things don't mean the same than they do with my mother tongue. Everything is so much less meaningful: swearing, expressing feelings. When speaking another language one easily exaggerates.

To me "I love you" is something really big and meaningful. I don't think I've ever said that to anyone. Maybe my mum when I was small. It's just not our thing to say it. In movies you hear people telling each other they love them all the time. The meaning has been lost. They say it to someone even though they don't even know the other person that well.

For me it'd take a long time before I'd have the courage to tell someone I loved them. I'd need to absolutely trust the other person and have a deep relationship before I'd be ready. "I love you" is not something to say to whoever. It's something really important, and I don't want it to lose its meaning.

There's one good example (or well, maybe not that good if you look at the whole story but let's just concentrate on this one detail) in Gossip Girl. You know on season two Chuck and Blair struggle saying "I love you" to each other. That's sort of the way it's supposed to be. "I love you" shouldn't be something you tell everyone. And I'm repeating myself.

But just think of it. Imagine saying "I love you" in English or whatever language you want and then in your mother tongue. There's a difference. At least to me. Your own language is much more meaningful. Try. I can repeat "I love you" much more easily than "Minä rakastan sinua". That's Finnish (for your information).

Anyhow, I gotta get going now. It's summer soon. Aloha!

You saw me start to believe for the first time

Hey. I just realised my last blog post was completely stupid. I was kind of tired when I was writing it, and it came out completely different than I planned. So, ignore it, don't read it, I'll write a better one later on. I won't delete it, but please ignore it.
Okay, so as I apparently am unable to write properly, I'll stick with music. It's easier, and I'm tired now too, so I suppose writing about something proper wouldn't be a good idea. So, I thought that I could gather my favourite parts of Taylor Swift songs, and maybe add a comment too...
So here we go. I'll go with the song order on the albums, so first album's first song first (that's a whole lot of first used in one sentence), second song next and so on.

You said the way my blue eyes shined put those Georgia stars to shame that night, I said: "That's a lie."

That's just something. Like how often, if someone compliments you, you just say something like: "Oh whatever." or "Oh well I don't know." Actually, if someone says something nice they really mean it, you don't that often go saying nice things to people randomly. So for once, why not say: "Thank you."

Tim McGraw


The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star.

Just imagine the feeling when you really, really care about someone and they don't feel the same way about you. Besides, the video is beautiful. She looks really hurt in the beginning.

Teardrops On My Guitar


I don't know what I want, so don't ask me 'cause I'm still trying to figure it out. Even though I'm not the only one who feels the way I do.

I thought I could pick up another line from this song for a change. All these songs about growing up just describe me so well, that they are important to me. The first line is exactly me, and the second just helps me realise that I'm not the only one lost here.

A Place In This World


I tried to take the road less traveled by but nothing seems to work the first few times.

Who wouldn't want to go their own way? I mean, I want to find my own way in this world, despite a little help is sometimes needed. Nothing seems to work for the first time when you try it, but being persistent enough you'll find the way. It might be a detour, or a shortcut, but you get further anyway.

The Outside


Seems the only one who doesn't see your beauty is the face in the mirror looking back at you.

Genius. I mean, you hear it everywhere, that you're good just the way you are. But somehow you actually start believing it once you listen to this.

Tied Together With A Smile


Don't you know you're really gonna be someone, ask anyone.

It helps you to believe in yourself. Really.

Stay Beautiful


I'm only me when I'm with you.

Exactly.

I'm Only Me When I'm With You


Well that's the first album. I'm going to stop now, as I suppose you got bored already. So I won't waste your time any more. Later!

But as usual, the heading (going with the theme):

Mine (thought it was needless to mention the artist)

Inside my head there's a radio station

So, I will start my blogging with a little musical introduction. Here are some lyrics that have inspired me, or that mean something to me. Anyhow, don't take it too literally...
I have absolutely no idea if anyone can bother reading the whole list, but take a look at few at least, they'll hopefully give you some kind of a clue about who I am.

I'm gonna break your little heart, watch you take the fall, laughing all the way to the hospital, 'cause there's nothing surgery can do when I break your little heart in two.
It might sound slightly radical, but there's something in it.

There's a story at the bottom of this bottle and I'm the pen.
I have absolutely no idea why this somehow clicks.

I just want you to know that I've been fighting to let you go, some days I make it through and then there's nights that never end...
Makes you think...

Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars? I could really use a wish right now...
Yes, I know it's a big hit now, but the line... It has a lot of meaning, doesn't it?

It's my life, it's now or never, I ain't gonna live forever, I just want to live while I'm alive.
Exactly.

I'm not a girl, not yet a woman. All I need is time, a moment that is mine, while I'm in between.
Yes, quite a cliché, but it really does help sometimes.

Near, far, wherever you are, I believe that the heart does go on.
Another cliché, but can you say something against?

When I saw you I knew you were the one, I want to orbit you like you're the sun. -- I'm like a puzzle with a missing piece, I got a car but didn't get the keys...
Gotta love the song!

Well, I never saw it coming, and I should've started running a long, long time ago.
Yet another line that I can't really explain.

Send it on, on and on, just one hand can heal another. Be a part, reach your heart, just one spark starts a fire.
Say whatever you wanna say, hate the singers or whatever, but the song is nice and the lyrics are meaningful.

Stay here tonight, 'cause when you're around me everything's right...
Once again, it just somehow clicks.

So walk a little slower and open up your eyes, sometimes its so hard to see the good things pass you by. There may never be a sign, no flashing neon light, telling you to make your move or when the time is right.
Again, you may say whatever you want, but this song was really important once.

You're beautiful, you're beautiful, you're beautiful, it's true.
Once you think about this in the morning when you're having a bad hair day...

Worlds are spinning round, there's no time for slowing down, so won't you take a breath, just take a breath.
Don't judge the artist, please.

If time was still, the sun would never ever find us, we could light up the sky tonight. -- We're chasing stars to lose our shadow, Peter Pan and Wendy turned out fine, so won't you fly with me...
Same as before. I just love this song.

You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet, wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it, you know you can if you get the chance.
In your face as the door keeps slamming, now you're feeling more and more frustrated, and you're getting all kind of impatient waiting...
We live and we learn to take one step at a time, there's no need to rush, it's like learning to fly, or falling in love...
Once again, a song about growing up. Wonder why they are so important?

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly, I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky.
Make a wish, take a chance, make a change, and break away.
Out of the darkness and into the sun, but I won't forget all the ones that I love.
I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change, and break away.
Speaking of which...

Highway to the danger zone, ride into the danger zone.
The song's amazing, and there's just - once again - something about it.

You sit there in your heartache, waiting on some beautiful boy to save you from your old ways...
Awesome song. Also, I just have to put it here, though the lyrics have no meaning for me:
The Killers - Mr. Brightside: Awesome song. Perfect when you're feeling a little down. It does cheer you up, try.

When my time comes forget the wrong that I've done, help me leave behind some reasons to be missed. Don't resent me and when you're feeling empty keep me in your memory, leave out all the rest...
Love the song, and beautiful lyrics, too.

I want someone to love me for who I am. I want someone to need me, is that so bad? I want someone to love me for who I am.
Beautiful song, and love the lyrics and the video.

I'd like to make myself believe that planet Earth turns slowly. It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep, 'cause everything is never as it seems...
Again, I love the song. I have to say, I was really annoyed when it became such a big hit...

Oh, think twice, 'cause it's another day for you and me in paradise.
Beautiful song, and it has a message. It makes you think, that no matter how crap life may seem, there's always people who'd be more than eager to switch places.

A thousand miles seems pretty far, but they've got planes and trains and cars, I'd walk to you if I had no other way.
What can I say?

I'm going down, I'll be coming back fighting, I may be scared and a little bit frightened, but I'll be back, I'll be coming back to life.
That's the way.

But hold your breath because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you, over again, don't make me change my mind, or I won't live to see another day, I swear it's true, because a girl like you is impossible to find.
Beautiful.

People are all the same and we only get judged by what we do, personality reflects name, and if I'm ugly then so are you.
Once again, this used to be really important.

I'm just a girl trying to find a place in this world.
This is, as you maybe noticed, or not, on the description of my blog at the top of this page. Taylor Swift and her music are really important to me, and I could put a line here from pretty much all of her songs. But I guess this one's enough, for now.

Here's a song for the one who stole my heart and ran so far that cupid couldn't catch her.
There you go.

And the heading:
