“You know how scared I am of elevators
Never trust it if it rises fast
It can't last”
Wish Taylor would listen to her own lyrics
These lines really freaked me out because I used to be terrified of elevators, until I got mildly teased for it at high school and that shocked me out of it (and then when I visited new york, I nearly had a panic attack going up a skyscraper but fortunately going up skyscrapers is a rare occurrence for me). I've never met anyone who shares/ shared that phobia so it felt like I specifically was being called out.
But it was also my perspective on going into a long distance relationship with a guy I'd only known three months, and now nearly ten years later we're married. I think definitely those moving quick relationships make more sense in your thirties/ late twenties if you have a strong sense of self before going into them (which you don't necessarily do immediately after a long term relationship ends!).
But there's so many eyes on them - I do not envy dating with any level of scrutiny. There's a Graham Norton clip where John Boyega talks about Orlando Bloom giving him some advice before the new Star Wars came out. And Bloom's advice was basically, in a nice way, "Lock a girl down before you get mega-famous because it's so much harder." But then you see so many people who get mega famous in a long term relationship and then they break up with their non-famous partner and get with someone famous!
