Welcome to The Tortured Poets Department. 


My name is Bree-Ann Gittens and I'm author of this tortured Poets Department. A place for all taking lessons in reflect through personal journeys and the love of Taylor Swift. 


This period of the author’s life is now over, the chapter is closed and boarded up. There is nothing to avenge, no scores to settle once wounds have healed. And upon further reflection, a good number of them turned out to be self-inflicted. This writer is of the firm belief that our tears become holy in the form of ink on a page. Once we have spoken our saddest story, we can be free of it written by Taylor Swift. 



The Tortured Poets Department feels like a real place and we are all authors of our own stories. The Tortured Poets Department by Taylor Swift got me in my feelings. The time has come for you to get personal with your personal life. We're going to take a deep dive into our private lives. Swift shares her experiences in every lyric and her heart with her listeners. During her private personal journey two years ago, she wrote this music. There is inspiration in her words and the mood and vibe of album. Our lives have their own Tortured Poets Department. Being a woman with a personal life isn't easy. All of us have experienced some form of torture in our lives. It can come from growing up, relationships, school, work, mental health, being stuck in everyday life, social media, adulthood and losing someone. Growing up and experiencing things sometimes involves The Tortured Poets Department. All of us have been tortured poets at some point or another in our lives. Tortured poets who have written or spoken their truth have been healed. Taylor Swift confirmed she's healed from her past experiences. The past two years have passed and now you have your own life. You are a poet in your life and the department is personal to you.



Taking notes from The Tortured Poets Department



Call out people from your past 


Use your voice to express how you feel


Move on from a boy that hurt you in the past 


Growing up is a process 


People are going talk about you 


We all look through people's window 


Losing yourself through the cracks 


Letting go of the relationship turmoil 


Reflecting on a painful personal moment 


 Refine maturity


 Convincing yourself to reject others


Boys do threw up things


Good days do not make futures

 
Your life can be an artic


So long to an experience that is over 


The results can be heartbreaking 


People are not who they say they are


I did love or like you but it is done now


We all know a few men who are the smallest men who ever lived 


Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me doesn't matter


The truth is "I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can)


The question is How Did It End?


We know their Guilty as Sin.


I Can Live With a Broken Hear 


It's so okay to take a trip back to high school with some nostalgia

BROADWAY FIRST TIMER 

In my first-ever matinee theatre experience, I saw a Broadway show. Walking upstairs to get my program booklet and sitting in my seat was so much fun. During my visit to the Royal Alexandra Theatre in downtown Toronto, my mother and I saw Six the Musical. In my opinion, experience is more valuable than materialism. The bright lights and pop music made you want to join in on the preference. Seeing my first female play was the best experience of my life. 500 Years of Historical Heartbreak and 21st Century Girl Power were effectively portrayed. I loved the music and the vibe was out of this world. 


"Six" is a British pop musical written by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss in their final year at Cambridge University. The play has a modern and fresh take on being a woman who has hush and common. A singing competition tells the story of Henry VIII's six wives in a contemporary comedy style. In the end, a woman stops competing with each other and lives the truth their way. It's a powerful statement that women can come together. There is nothing better than a musical for women. It's original at its finest. Everyone had a solo and that made me happy.

How to create the perfect walking routine 

The act of going for walks is a lifestyle choice for many women. It’s a mundane activity that has so many benefits for your mental health. Entering the Hot Girl Walk era is investing in your physical health while dressing up in your essentials. The Hot Girl Walk is an outdoor race based on distance or speed.

Hot girl walking routine

START SLOW
When you start walking you begin at a pace that you are comfortable with. Your distance should be at a pace that works for you. Your speed needs to be just right not overdoing it. 


SET CLEAR GOALS
The average number of steps per day is 10,000. Finding a balance between numbers is achievable and works in everyday life. Your goals should motivate you. Celebrate all your milestones.


CREATE A PLAYLIST AND FIND YOUR PODCAST
Music or podcasts make walking the best experience ever. Grab your wireless headphones put on your favourite music or podcast and lose yourself. The music and podcasts you listen to on your journey make it so much fun and keep you motivated.


FIND YOUR WALKING PATHS
The location of where you walk is important, so choose one you are comfortable with. Let yourself enjoy nature and the sounds that make the experience so enriching. Have your phone charged and tell someone where you're going.


JOIN A WALKING COMMUNITY
Find a walking community where you live and meet new people while you walk. With a group of like-minded girls, you can share your journey.


STAY CONSISTENT
Consistently walk until your schedule becomes a habit. Plan a hot girl walking experience or make walking a daily activity.


KEEP GOING
Walking is an experience, so make it a priority by setting a time for walks. The best way to take care of yourself is to go for a walk. As you walk, you will have the opportunity to reflect and connect.

THE HOBBY GIRL ERA

Hobbies provide us with an escape from our everyday lives, a challenge to our minds, and a sense of fulfillment. Generally, a hobby is something you do for enjoyment during your free time as a regular activity. Spending your time doing something you love is worth it. Finding a hobby takes work and practice many different types of hobbies. During your down time, this is a great way to learn and explore. Giving yourself time to be a child with hobbies is important for your quality of life. The benefits of hobbies extend to our mental health and longevity as well. Hobbies are important because they're a way of expressing who we are. They can also provide fun, self-care, a challenge, a sense of accomplishment in mastering something new, and an opportunity to connect with others according to Psych Central. A hobby is something you do regularly for pleasure in your spare time. Developing your hobbies is an ongoing process.
