Pyramid: When I listen to this song, I always think that they are singing about the developing love Bassanio and I share. How the first time we met, I immediately started falling for him (the base/start of our relationship) and now look at us. We are engaged and have reached the peak of our pyramid of love. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful husband who loves me for who I am.

Cleaning This Gun (Come on in Boy): This song never fails to fill me with mixed emotions. On one end of the spectrum, it makes me laugh because my dad would be doing the exact same thing as the father in the song, cleaning his gun (or sword I should say). On the other hand, it reminds me of dad's intentions behind his riddle. How even though he would not be able to approve of my husband, he could still be involved in the process. Thanks to my clever father, his plan was successful in intimidating the greedy men who asked for my hand simply for my wealth by giving them an ultimatum: love me or be forbidden to love any other woman. The test was set up to look out for my best interest, just as the dad in the song is protecting his little girl from all the crazy boys out there. I miss my daddy so much. :(

Stuck like glue: The upbeat rhythm and relatable lyrics that refer to the ups and downs of a relationship remind me of when Bassanio gave away my ring. Initially I was upset, but when everything was all said and done, we worked it out and are enjoying every day of our lives together. We are virtually inseparable and will remain this way as long as we are together. I don't know what I would do without him. :)

Today was a Fairytale: Whenever I listen to this song the image that comes to mind is the moment Bassanio pulled my picture out of the lead box. That was one of the best moments of my life and I felt as if I were a princess in a fairytale book. Taylor Swift's voice is so calming and melodic; I always seem to be in a better mood when the song ends than I was before it played.

Why Not: The catchy tune and lyrics of this song are simple yet meaningful. They remind me to not take the small things in life for granted. That I should stay open-minded and live every day to its fullest. Another concept this song refers to is taking chances, and not necessarily worrying about the risks involved; just being spontaneous (within reason of course). I hope to venture beyond the sheltered environment I've grown up in, and explore the other cultures of the world.

King of Anything: I absolutely love the lyrics of this song. Women of all ages can easily relate to them because sometimes the important men in our lives can be a little controlling. They subconsciously forget to take into consideration our thoughts and feelings and only look out for themselves. This should not be the case. They do not rule our lives. Men cannot tell me who I can or can't be. Only I have control over that. If they do not like me for me or what I stand for, then that is their problem. I am happy with myself and the life I have been blessed with and that is all that matters.
