“If we continue to show young girls that they are being compared to other girls, we’re doing ourselves a huge disservice as a society. I surround myself with smart, beautiful, passionate, driven, ambitious women. Other women who are killing it should motivate you, thrill you, challenge you and inspire you rather than threaten you and make you feel like you’re immediately being compared to them. The only thing I compare myself to is me, two years ago, or me one year ago.” IfsFeelsShouldYearsTwoShowsBeautifulYoungGirlChallengesInspireHugeLike YouSmartYears AgoKillingPassionateDrivenCompareTwo YearsSurroundAmbitiousThrillOther GirlDisserviceTwo Years AgoKilling ItAmbitious Women Author:Taylor Swift

“What it 't to us, if taxes rise or fall, Thanks to our fortune, we pay none at all. Let muckworms who in dirty acres deal, Lament those hardships which we cannot feel, His grace who smarts, may bellow if he please, But must I bellow too, who sit at ease? By custom safe, the poets' numbers flow, Free as the light and air some years ago. No statesman e'er will find it worth his pains To tax our labours, and excise our brains. Burthens like these with earthly buildings bear, No tributes laid on castles in the air.” IfsFeelsYearsMayLightPainFallDealsNumbersPayBrainGraceAirBuildingPoetBearsPleaseSafeTaxesSmartYears AgoFlowFortuneThanksDirtyEaseLabourHardshipCustomsCastlesStatesmenTributeLamentAcresCastles In The Air Book:Poetical Works: With a Memoir by James L.
