Taylor Swift has made comments before that has led to discussions here at Gurl about relationships and dating. To continue that trend, I’m really digging some of her latest musings on love and her romantic future.

In a new interview with Wonderland magazine, she starts off talking about relationships and then shared this little gem: “I’ve kind of realized that I have no idea where I’m going to be next year, or in six months, or in two months. I mean, I know where I’ll be on tour in two months, but no idea where I’m going to be mentally, emotionally, dreams, goals, wishes, hopes.”

I remember when I started high school, I had this grand scheme about when I was going to get a boyfriend and how all my romantic adventures were going to play out. That didn’t happen, but it’s true that the person I was when I started high school at 13 wasn’t even the same person I was when I graduated at 17. I was different and if I had tried to force my pre-high school dating plan on myself, I wouldn’t have been all too happy.

Now I’ve been in a relationship for a while and I STILL don’t know how everything is going to turn out. However, I’ve also learned that it can zap a lot of my energy trying to constantly figure out the future when all I really can focus on – and enjoy – is what’s happening today.

From the context, it seems like Taylor is talking about love, but I suppose she could just be talking about life in general. Remember a couple months ago when I found my middle school life timeline? Yeah, my life certainly isn’t like that and I’m okay with it!

Later in the interview, Taylor also said: “You can make a board for all the goals you want in your life with the pictures on it, and that’s great, daydreaming is wonderful, but you can never plan your future.” I do think you can definitely do a lot to plan FOR your future and set yourself up on a path you want, but to a degree you need to be okay with taking each day as it comes because sometimes curve balls happen or as Taylor pointed out, you just change as a person.

Believe me, I am the world’s biggest daydreamer, so it’s been hard for me to realize that I can’t control how everything plays out in life. While that could be seen as disappointing, I don’t think it’s a bad thing. So many things have happened for me – both in my relationships and just general life – that I may not have dreamed up or planned for, and yet they happened, were awesome and I wouldn’t change them.

I feel like Taylor’s philosophy is probably coming from what she’s learned in past relationships. Based on some of her past actions, like buying a house near her boyfriend, it seems like maybe she was trying to create a certain future and not just letting life kind of happen. It’s a lot of pressure to put on yourself to get everything in love and life figured out. In other parts of the interview she talks about being open to different kinds of romantic futures and relationship statuses and I hope she finds what makes her totally happy.

So like Taylor suggests, have your goals! Dream up your perfect relationship! Don’t be afraid of those things, but also don’t feel like you need to accomplish romances in a certain step-by-step way.
