Love Story - Kierkegaard meets Taylor Swift
Romeo, Juliet, and the Leap of Faith
Era 2 - Album Fierless
You’ve been listening to this song for years.
And still, something doesn’t add up.
You think it’s Shakespeare
retold as a fairy tale.
That’s the easy version.
What if that’s not the point?
Love Story isn’t a fairy tale.
It’s a decision, a jump, a leap
It’s about choosing
when nothing proves you’re right.
A leap taken without guarantees.
Kierkegaard saw it.
Taylor Swift staged it.
This isn’t a theory.
It’s a structure.
Once you see it, you don’t go back.
