I think I may have been caught in one years and yeas ago. What I remember is I was floating in the ocean with some family members. Then at some point I realized I couldn't touch the bottom anymore, and I felt like I was being pulled out a little faster than I thoughtl I was. I also realized I was in a different spot from where I had started before while swimming with my family. When I realized it, I told myself not to panic because the worst thing I could do was panic. I started swimming parallel with the shore, and I told myself "You got yourself in this, you can get yourself out. I swam parallel to the shore. I kept telling myself out loud "You can do it, you can do it. You got this" and once I reached a point where I got closer to shore I started swimming diagonally and got myself out. Can anyone with experience confirm it may have been a rip current? I have always wondered.

I'm confused by Taylor's explanation about what Actually Romantic was about in that voice message on the track by track version of Life of a Showgirl.

She said "It's about realizing that someone else has had kind of a one sided adversarial relationship with you that you didn't know about. And all of a sudden they start like, doing too much and they start letting you know that you've been living in their head rent free and you had no idea. And it's presenting itself as them sort of resenting you or having a problem with you but taking that and you just excepting it as love and you excepting it as attention and affection and how flattering that someone has made you such a big part of their reality, when you didn't even think about this. It's actually pretty romantic when you think about it".

To me when I read the adversary part, it sounded like when you're in a friendly or relationship and they start doing too much, meaning you get love bombed and they become obsessed with you. Can someone explain this?
