I imagine one considers things very carefully before, say, entering a relationship with Taylor Swift (who I must say seems enormously happy with her life at the moment, and I wish her every joy in the future).
Hehehe. Good one. Reminds me of Caitlin Moran’s book “More than a woman,” where she lists little irritating things her husband does. Then, when she asks him what irritating things she does, he tells her that there’s nothing he’d ever want her to change about herself, absolutely nothing. And then adds that this will make him look like a super good guy when she writes about it.
Ooh, yeah. I always wonder about that when I hear that a character is based on someone the author knows. I always wonder, hm, are they happy with the way they’re being depicted? Is it even POSSIBLE to be happy with your depiction as a fictional character? I mean, fictional characters aren’t people, they’re broad-stroked caricatures based on the extremes of emotions, way less complicated than actual humans! It’d be impossible to give an accurate depiction of a real person in a piece of fiction, much less a piece of art or music, right? But, I dunno, maybe I just haven’t read the right books or heard the right songs.

Notice how on both the artist and the “dated” people side there’s a majority of females? That means at least one girl on each side swings “that way”.
You go girls.
