I’m sorry for the lack of blog entries I am going to do better I promise!!! I was trying to write about my day not that long ago and I went blank I couldn’t type it was weird. I actually didn’t have much to say so I decided to practice my creative writing skills and this is what I came up with……I leave this open for interpretation I know what it means but I feel like it can go so many different ways depending on where you are at in your own life. This story is very personal to me with many feelings behind it.
The Petal-
What do you do when you find the most beautiful soul imaginable? Here's what I would do …Think of the most delicate object you can. I am going to use a petal, 1 single petal that has come from a tulip. This will act as a tangible soul. I am fascinated at what I have found I am mystified as to why I have found it. Here is me and I am walking alone at night the temperature outside is below freezing. My head is down because the wind is blowing so hard that my eyes burn when I look forward. As I am walking I see this pale yellow petal hooked to a piece of grass at the edge of the sidewalk. There is no tulip just the petal. It's whipping fast back and forth I see the struggle and the fight. It's heartbreaking but I can't take my eyes of it. There are so many thoughts running through my head. Where is the rest of it? How it is still hooked on the blade of grass? The obvious would be why is there a tulip petal even in existence 6 months before spring? I have no answer to any of these because I realize they don't matter. What matters is what I do next. I bend down and I look to see what's holding it there. This petal is struggling to let the wind take it and yet it's stuck. Now that I have stopped and I am paying attention to the petal I see that the bottom which was once connected to the tulip has a tiny stem and that stem is wedged in a crack on the sidewalk and the tear on the side of the petal is hooked to the tall thin blade of grass. I take off my gloves and use both hands. I slip the blade of grass out of the tear and pull gently on the stem to release the sidewalks grip. The tip of the stem came off and stayed in the crack by the blade of grass but the petal was free. I cup my hands together and continue walking with the petal inside. I look back and see my gloves laying there on the ground I question going back for them but that would mean a possibility of losing or destroying the petal. My hands suddenly didn't feel so cold anymore because my focus is to keep the petal safe and hurry home to look at what I have found. Most people I believe would have kept walking and never noticed because it wasn't the entire flower. Most people if they did see it wouldn't even think twice about a petal and keep on going.

Wow.. that was very good! I don't know why people say you're a dumb blonde because I could never come up with something so creative, and I know I'm not dumb.
That was very good Taylor. The people who may think you're dumb are so wrong. Being blonde just means that their expectations of you are lower. You are so proving them wrong!
The whole time I was reading about the single petal, I couldn't help but think about my ex. While others may have looked past them-or just ignored them. I saw them, and how great they are. A single petal can bring the greatest joy.
Thank you for writing such a nice piece. And keep up the great work on the show.
Taylor, that was really good. I'm not sure what happen with CB but I'm sure you will find someone soon that will be "the one". What do you plan on doing when your 6 months is over with the show? Good luck!! Sonia
Dumb is thinking a rock star will 1. be faithful, 2. stick around, 3. not want to just hit it.
omg LMAO!! somewhat hurtful but true !!!
Very nice, shows your depth,soul and what drives you. Now, what you didn't add was your eyes? They were burning from the wind & cold. So with you enveloping this bit of beauty on a harsh night, did your eyes then become, incandesent to have such a view of beauty out of relm,touch,season.

Hey Taylor,
Seriously, don't let what some people say get to you. I think you're great. They've got absolutely no reason to be so ugly. I listen every morning I can and I think you're a great addition to the show. Maybe there could be some way you could stay on longer than just the 6 months? (Are you reading this Kidd?) LOL!
Keep being you, Taylor. You have more fans than haters.

That absolutely makes no sense!
Wow, that is so beautiful! You should become a writer.
Actually, dumb would be putting up with an idiot rock star that would treat you unfaithfully and only want one thing. I think that a few of your anonymous friends are only seeking bad karma with their ill will comments. I'd turn the other cheek and laugh at their definitions. Karma always finds you, even when you hide under cruel anonymous comments.
What you wrote is absolutely beautiful and I did not expect such intense thoughts from such a fun gal!
