Me: I've loved Taylor Swift since I was a little girl. Self: I know, but you need to stop this. Me: But I might get to go. Self: You've seen her twice already. Me: I know, her 'Speak Now' and 'Red' tour shows. Self: Yes. So you need to stop getting worked up. Me: I know you're right, self. But I just can't. Self: I know, you wanna see her live again. Me: And what's so bad about wanting that?' Self: Nothing. But you know you might not. Me: I know, you can stop telling me that. Self: Not until you accept it. Just accept it. Me: What, self? What do I need to accept? Self: That there was only one reason why you were able to go to the last two shows. Me: I know. And I know she's not here anymore. Self: Right. So they might not have enough. You wanted a camera as well as maybe tickets. Me: I know, I know. That was asking a lot. Self: No, it wasn't. You didn't put a star on it. On the tickets to the concert. Me: I know I didn't put a star on the tickets. Self: And why did you not put a star on the tickets? Me: Because if I did, then that would create pressure. And I know that they would feel bad if they couldn't. So I didn't put a star so they wouldn't feel like they had to. Self: Wow! You sure had a lot to say that time. Me: I'm sorry, I was just trying to explain. Self: No need, I know what you were doing. But I think there's something you need to know. Me: What? Self: They might get you the tickets after all. Me: Self... Self: No! You heard what your Uncle said. Me: Yes. And I also know that he likes to mess with me. And he might've just been doing that. Self: Are you sure about that? Are you really sure? Me: Of course I am! I mean, I have to be. Self: Why? Why do you have to be sure? Me: Because that way I won't be depressed if I don't get the tickets and end up not going. I need to keep telling myself that we don't have the money. Don't you understand? Self: I understand that you've been talking to me for the last five minutes about this. Me: (Sighs) I know, I know. I guess I can still hope. But I won't hope too much. Self: Alright, don't stop hoping. Now, go write something that will take your mind OFF Taylor Swift. Me: Alright. Thanks for listening. I'll talk to you later, bye! Self: Bye!
This is what I hear in my brain from time to time when someone brings up the Taylor Swift concert in Foxborro.
