You left me no choice but to stay here forever…

Friends break up, friends get married
Strangers get born, strangers get buried
Trends change, rumors fly through new skies
But I’m right where you left me
Matches burn after the other
Pages turn and stick to each other
Wages earned and lessons learned
But I’m right where you left me

Yes, I use songs for inspiration, but I’m really posting because Designer Showcase is back with its February round! I immediately fell in love with Sasha Design’s Michelle. It comes with a jacket, top, and jeans. As spring approaches, it’s time to start dressing in layers! Need a ride to Designer Showcase? Click here!

Lyrics: Right Where You Left Me by Taylor Swift

And you say I abandoned the ship…

But I was going down with it
My white knuckle dying grip
Holding tight to your quiet resentment and
My friends said it isn’t right to be scared
Every day of a love affair
Every breath feels like rarest air

When you’re not sure if he wants to be there
So how much sad did you think I had,
Did you think I had in me?
How much tragedy?
Just how low did you think I’d go?
Before I’d self-implode
Before I’d have to go be free

Champagne Problems: Valentine’s Day 2024

Because I dropped your hand while dancing
Left you out there standing
Crestfallen on the landing
Champagne problems

Your mom’s ring in your pocket
My picture in your wallet
Your heart was glass, I dropped it
Champagne problems

The Moment I Knew by Taylor Swift

Now that we don’t talk

You went to a party
I heard from everybody
You part the crowd like the Red Sea
Don’t even get me started
Did you get anxious though
On the way home?
I guess I’ll never, ever know
Now that we don’t talk

You grew your hair long
You got new icons
And from the outside, it looks like you’re trying lives on
I miss the old ways
You didn’t have to change
But I guess I don’t have a say
Now that we don’t talk

I call my mom, she said that it was for the best
Remind myself the more I gave, you’d want me less
I cannot be your friend
So I pay the price of what I lost
And what it cost
Now that we don’t talk

What do you tell your friends, we
Shared dinners, long weekends with
Truth is I can’t pretend it’s
Platonic, it’s just ended

So I call my mom, she said to get it off my chest
Remind myself the way you faded ’til I left
I cannot be your friend
So I pay the price of what I lost
And what it cost
Now that we don’t talk

I don’t have to pretend I like acid rock
Or that I’d like to be on a mega yacht
With important men who think important thoughts
Guess maybe I am better off
Now that we don’t talk
And the only way back to my dignity
Was to turn into a shrouded mystery
Just like I had been when you were chasing me
Guess this is how it was to be
Now that we don’t talk

The Way I Loved You

He is sensible and so incredible
And all my single friends are jealous
He says everything I need to hear, and it’s like
I couldn’t ask for anything better
He opens up my door and I get into his car
And he says, “You look beautiful tonight”
And I feel perfectly fine

But I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain
And it’s 2 a.m. and I’m cursing your name
So in love that you act insane
And that’s the way I loved you
Breaking down and coming undone
It’s a roller coaster kind of rush
And I never knew I could feel that much
And that’s the way I loved you

Rooting for the Anti-Hero

I have this thing where I get older but just never wiser
Midnights become my afternoons
When my depression works the graveyard shift
All of the people I’ve ghosted stand there in the room

I should not be left to my own devices
They come with prices and vices
I end up in crisis
Tale as old as time

I wake up screaming from dreaming
One day I’ll watch as you’re leaving
‘Cause you got tired of my scheming
For the last time

It’s me
Hi
I’m the problem, it’s me
At teatime
Everybody agrees
I’ll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror
It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero

Fighting Dragons with you

The night you danced like you knew our lives would
Never be the same
You held your head like a hero on a history book page
It was the end of a decade
But the start of an age

Long, long live the walls we crashed through
How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
And I was screaming, “Long live all the magic we made”
And bring on all the pretenders, I’m not afraid
Singing, “Long live all the mountains we moved”
I had the time of my life, fighting dragons with you
And long, long live that look on your face
And bring on all the pretenders
One day, we will be remembered

Innocents

Have you ever had an experience that changed you forever? One of mine was losing Loki. This is one of the reasons why I support Rock Your Rack (RYR). RYK advocates for early prevention to avoid breast cancer, but I can’t help but think about losing Loki because of pancreatic cancer.

Post inspired from Taylor Swift “Innocent” and Loki

“We never go out of style”

I’ve been on a Taylor Swift kick lately. I never thought I would write that! Swift’s actually a brilliant lyricist. I had no idea! Sorry, Tiffany Celestials as you told me about her some time ago lol.

Whenever I blog, I listen to songs that go along with what I’m wearing. Sometimes, well…most of the time, I listen to that one song on repeat. The song of the day is “Style” because I’m seriously in love with my husband. Granted we aren’t off and on like the song, but we love certain ideas (okay fine…I do have a “good girl faith”) when it comes to the other, so our coupling will never go out of style.

We never go out of style

Speaking of which, Dani Plassitz‘s newest release Lindy will never go out of SL style. Lingerie always has its place, especially if it offers the option to get appliers for mesh bodies and traditional SL clothing layers. Styles by Danielle’s Lindy lingerie is available in red, beige, white, black and pink, and blue.

And I got that red lip classic thing that you like

Also, you can opt for standard SL clothing layers. standard layers plus Appliers all-in-one layer, Maitreya Mesh Body Applier/HUD with six options for wearing (no standard layers), and Belleza Mesh Body Applier/HUD with six options for wearing (no standard layers).

Watch us go round and round each time

Don’t forget to wear your group tag because there is a 30% discount for inworld Styles by Danielle group members.
Oh, group members, there is a simplified version of Lindy Black And Pink as a Summer Group Gift!
