Taylor Swift is wise beyond her years and has gone through more relationships than I can count. Therefore, whenever I need some words of advice, she's the person I turn to. If only Taylor Swift and I were close enough to sit in her kitchen, make cookies and pet her cats so I could hear these wise words in person. ... Considering that's pretty close to impossible, yet still a dream, here are some of the greatest quotes said and sung by T-Swift.

1. "You actually will move on and you actually will be fine and then that's when he may actually miss how incredible and special you are."

This is so true. Many people say that a girl will feel the heart ache and pain of a relationship ending right away, but soon she will realize that she's better off. Right when she get's over it, the guy will realize everything he's missing.

2. "You and I both know there's got to be some greater storyline for you than 'girl get's heart broken, was sad forever.' I think a nice one would be, 'girl gets heart broken, was sad for a while but in her heartbreak she found freedom, friends and the ability to look back and laugh at all she'd learned.'"

Thank you Taylor for showing us the bright side of a break up. You will spend time with friends watching chick flicks and eating ice cream while you will laugh about your stupid exes. Doesn't it feel wonderful to be free to do what you want?

3. "No matter what happens in life, be good to people. Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind."

Proof of Taylor Swift's kind heart and the way that she treats her fans.

4. "I think every girl's dream is to find a bad boy at the right time, when he wants to not be bad anymore."


5. "You have to be happy with who you are and the choices you make. If you don't like yourself you'll never be truly happy."

6. "I think most of us fear reaching the end of our life and looking back regretting the moments we didn't speak up. When we didn't say 'I love you.' When we should have said 'I'm sorry.' There's a time for silence, and there's a time for waiting your turn. But if you know how you feel, and you so clearly know what you need to say, I don't think you should wait. I think you should speak now."

Taylor said it all!

7. "I have to believe in fairytales and I have to believe in love."

8. "Words can break someone into a million pieces, but they can also put them back together. I hope you use yours for good, because the only words you'll regret more than the ones left unsaid are the ones you use to intentionally hurt someone."

I think that Taylor Swift is so inspiring because she's against bullying and will be the first to stand up for someone. She truly does have a kind spirit.

9."I'd rather be at home and eat ice cream than go out and get wasted."

There is so much truth in this simple statement. Choosing to stay home and chill is often the best option.

10. "Don't you worry your pretty little mind, people throw rocks and things that shine."


11. "What I've learned is not to change who you are because eventually you're going to run out of things to become."


12. "You have people come into your life shockingly and surprisingly. You have losses you never thought you'd experienced. You have rejection and you have to learn how to get up the next day and go on with it."

Preach.

13. "...the rest of the world was in black and white but we were in screaming color."

This relates to every relationship and how at first it seems perfect and nothing can get in the way. Cherish those moments because eventually you will have your first fight or things might get tough, but those that are meant to be will make it through.

14. "We're happy, free, confused and lonely at the same time."

15. "Say you'll remember me, standing in a nice dress staring at the sunset, babe. Red lips and rosy cheeks, say you'll see me again even if it's just in your wildest dreams."

This may be the wish of every girl: To know that the guy they are crushing on or have cut ties with will be thinking of them at their best times.

16. "Darling I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream."

Well, there you have it. Sixteen quotes and lyrics from the girl who has changed our lives for the better. Thank you Taylor for the amazing concerts, inspiring outfits, music to blast during car rides and all of the life lessons. Taylor Swift is a great role model and example of how to stay true to yourself during fame, heart ache and confusing times.

Stores may still be closed, but the internet is still wide open. So, while you're already shopping online check out Etsy for your Father's Day needs and support small creators.

As June approaches, Father's Day is coming up quickly with it. While they may not ask for much, it's always a nice gesture to give your dad something special to share your appreciation. Although, at the same time, it might be difficult to find the perfect gift either for their humor or that will be practical.

24 Beauty And Style Brands Donating To The Fight To End Police Brutality Against Black People

From small, boutique brands to legacy fashion brands.

@freck

The worlds of beauty and fashion often collide, whether for good or bad. In both, underrepresentation has always been, and remains to be, a major unresolved issue. After the recent killing of George Floyd, many people are rightfully enraged, compounded by the fact his death in police custody wasn't an isolated incident.

Police brutality against Black people is not new, and isn't going away till we start dedicating resources to fighting it. Many of us, as individuals, have only begun in the last week scratching the surface of what it means to educate ourselves on race, historical race relations, and how to be an ally to the Black community.

Feel A Lil' Better: Because You Can Still Connect While Disconnecting From Social Media

Your weekly wellness boost from Odyssey.

No matter how good (or bad) you'd describe your health, one thing is for sure: a little boost is ALWAYS a good idea. Whether that's reading a new, motivating book, or listening to a song that speaks to your soul, there are plenty of resources to help your health thrive on any given day.

I don't know if you've heard, but there's a lot going on right now, particularly in relation to George Floyd's death, Black Lives Matter, and public protest of racial injustice in the United States. While we can all agree that this deserves conversations, change, and actionable good, social media arguments with Great Aunt Linda are not where social change begins and ends. Spending too much time scrolling through your phone has never been healthy, but now it's even more addicting — what does that one person from my hometown say about this? How can I further education within discussions? Am I posting enough?

The current state of the world has created the perfect storm for change in America. But with change there is always risk. Although protests have sprung up all across America, COVID-19 is still a very real risk. Luckily, you can help bring about change from the comfort of your own home. And no, I don't mean just by posting a black square on social media.

True Self-Care Is HARD, That Face Mask Isn't Actually Going To Solve Your Problems

There's a line between self-care and self-destruction.

Unsplash

Anyone who hasn't been living under a rock for the past few years has seen something somewhere about self-care whether it was on Facebook, Twitter, or their Instagram feed. Oftentimes it's pictures of celebrities or influencers sipping green smoothies or slathering on mud masks with #selfcare. It's posts like these that made me realize that "self-care" has become the ultimate buzz word, soaring in popularity but in the process, it's lost most of its original meaning. It's time to set the record straight and reclaim the term.

Although self-care has been around for quite some time, within the past few years it's been misconstrued and commodified as our capitalist society tends to do with things it thinks can be profited off. Self-care is now being peddled as something that can be bought and sold on the shelf at Target rather than something that takes real work to achieve. This fake self-care movement is not only enabling people to over-indulge themselves, but it has created a crutch for people to avoid the responsibility of taking true care of themselves. Instead of doing the work that needs to be done, many people fall into the trap of rewarding themselves for doing nothing at all — this can quickly become an unhealthy coping mechanism, especially with corporations cheering us on (to buy their next product). Long, hard day at work? Just grab your third iced coffee of the day! Fight with your SO? Buy that 50-dollar face mask, it'll make you feel better! This is how self-care becomes self-sabotage and self-destructive.

10 Home Items You Need For Stress Relief, On The Days You 'Literally Cannot'

Fill your home with peaceful, calming coping mechanisms.

I'd like to think that 2020 is teaching us a lot. Or will teach us a lot. Or will be a story we tell at parties one day. Ultimately, this year has been — and is probably going to continue to be — a bit of a mess.

At the beginning of the year, Australia was on fire and we mourned the death of Kobe Bryant. Then, coronavirus (COVID-19) took our spring and shut us in our homes, inciting panic over public health and sparking political upheaval at every decision made by local and federal officials alike. Now, a week after George Floyd's death at the hands of Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, a nationwide conversation is reignited with protests regarding racial injustice in the United States. There is an enormous amount of tension, hurt, and change that is upon the American people.
