Taylor Swift Quotes

Self-esteem, the kind that comes from finding the sweet spot between a healthy fondness for yourself and healthy self-skepticism, tends to get harder to come by the older we get.

I'm hard on myself, so I'm working on shifting perspective toward self-acceptance, with all my flaws and weaknesses.

I can live with myself.

I'm under no illusion that there are things about me that I'd like to change. I just accept who I am, and I'm proud of it.

I'm not arrogant enough to look back on my career and criticize my choices. It's really not my place.

I've gotten to the point where I've gotten comfortable with my awkwardness.

It's not a gift of mine, but one given to me, to be able to criticise myself and not be crushed, by myself or by others.

I think that maybe that's my weakness, in that I don't know how to do it, so I just do what I do and try to do it as passionately and as well as I can.

I always feel like I'm so boring, but I don't get bored with me.

Pretension is a poor joke that you play on yourself. Snap out of it. Recognise your strengths, work on your weaknesses. Real achievement is liking what you see in the mirror every morning.

I gotta say, I know my strengths, and I know my weaknesses, and, well, Fix-It Felix, I'm not too far from that kid.
