REBLOG TO SAVE A WRITER

Reblogging bc i need this but have to study

to my fellow writers!!

A quick intervention to talk about Max Verstappen and his relationship with his father.

I've been seeing so many things circling the internet about how Jos verstappen made Max who he is. How he made it so he could survive the harsh world of formula 1 and the stressful environment of redbull.

I know Max talks about how he's grateful for how his father treated him, but it doesn't make what happened to him normal.

When I listen to him talk about it, it makes me feel for him. Not all abuse comes in a textbook definition format.

My dad was competitive and wanted me and my sister to meet his standards. Nothing was ever good enough for him. This led to long nights practicing whatever sport he had us in at the time. Working us until our bones couldn't take it. Then, verbally berating us when we couldn't go any longer.

I remember words said when I didn't understand my homework first try. I remember my mom crying because she never looked like how my dad wanted her to.

We know Jos is angry and prone to violence. We know he was abusive to Max's mom. We know what happened when Max placed anything less than second.

Jos verstappen may be responsible for Max being a survivor, but that doesn't mean what he did was right.

Everyone who doesn't like Max complains that he's too aggressive. In my opinion, of course he would be. I was the same way. I needed to be the best at everything or life at home sucked. It wouldn't shock me if Max had the same mentality.

He'd rather crash his car trying to win than have to deal with the consequences on anything less than first.

All that to say, I don't think Max is a 'spoiled prick' and that his dad 'gave him everything' because the reality is that Max is his own person. My dad did that for me, too, but now I have a crippling fear of failure.

It's not fair for anyone to assume what Max has been through because he only chooses to share specific moments. We shouldn't say someone is stuck up and selfish just because they grew up with money.

Max deserves respect. He's a good racer and has been through some shit just like every other human being on the planet.

my sudden obsession with a random actor has led me to films i wouldn’t even go with a gun

Tell me why @stealsteels and I both watched Extraterrestrial (2014)

It’s a mystery alright 😭

I don't even know why I watched the whole thing since *that* scene was literally at the beginning of the movie.

His first season Lance got P9 in his home race and then went on to get P3 the next race where he was passed by Valtteri on the line for P2.

This season Lance got P9 in his home race by passing Valtteri Bottas. Here's how he gets P2 in Austria...

Lando: I'm gonna get my pilot's license. I've already got a driver's license and a cosmetology license, that's two of the big five licenses.  Oscar: The big five licenses?  Lando: Driver's license, cosmetology license, pilot's license, fishing license, and… license to kill! I can't wait to get that one.

Hey so

the last time I reblogged this post right before I got a great job, in a permanent work-from-home position, with benefits, retirement, and a salary literally 3x what I was making before, doing something I really like. 

So you know. 

This might be the real one, y’all.

I could use some good news 🥺

It fills me with such pride and joy to announce that my version of Speak Now will be out July 7 (just in time for July 9th, iykyk 😆) I first made Speak Now, completely self-written, between the ages of 18 and 20. The songs that came from this time in my life were marked by their brutal honesty, unfiltered diaristic confessions and wild wistfulness. I love this album because it tells a tale of growing up, flailing, flying and crashing… and living to speak about it. With six extra songs I’ve sprung loose from the vault, I absolutely cannot wait to celebrate Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) with you on July 7th. Pre-order now at http://taylor.lnk.to/SpeakNowTaylorsVersion 💜💜💜
