Matt Damon & Edward Norton are at the center of Hollywood right now nearly 30 years after they made Rounders together. With Damon, he just gave a career-best performance in The Odyssey. With Norton, he just gave a (maybe?) career-best performance in The Invite. Two veteran actors, still doing it years after making a classic together. Legends.
yeah breakups hurt, but have you ever been a super talkative, enthusiastic person but slowly over the years and after trauma you watch yourself become more quieter and quieter to the point where that enthusiastic bubbly person just isn’t who you are anymore?
I still have in mind what Taylor said about this song on release day two years ago.
“My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys is a song I wrote alone, and it's a metaphor of, you know, from the perspective of a child's toy, being somebody's favorite toy, until they break you, and then don't want to play with you anymore, which is, you know, how a lot of us are in relationships, where we are so valued by a person in the beginning, and then all of a sudden, they break us, or they devalue us in their mind, and we're still clinging onto, 'No, no, no, you should've seen them the first time they saw me. They'll come back to that. They'll get back to that. So it's kind of like, a song about denial, really. So that you can live in this world where there's still hope for a toxic, broken relationship.”
Picture this. You. Alone. In a 5-star hotel. Crisp fresh sheets. The A/C is on 69. You just got out the shower. Your favorite movie is playing on cable. You just ordered room service. Your phone is across the room on the charger. It’s on silent & on DND. You left your laptop at home. You took a trip because you needed to reset, recharge, & just exist. Your thoughts are finally… quiet. You’re everywhere but nowhere at the same time. Every part of you needed this.
Do it. Book the trip.
