      Truth, which we do not like:
      - there is no billions of years, there is only 6000 years.
      - The UFOs have always been the FALLEN ANGELS. Fallen angels and the devil is not a myth.
      - there is no planets, there is only plane knows as EARTH.
      - there is no cosmos, there is HELL - EARTH - WATERS - THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
      - there is no evolution, there is the CREATIONS OF GOD.
      - there is no humans being only carnal being, there is HUMANS - being created after the image of GOD. (Human being = SPIRIT BEING).
      - the reality is not that live however you like, you still be in heaven. The reality is, COME TO REPENTANCE - BORN AGAIN, DO THE WILL OF GOD = THE NARROW ROAD TO HEAVEN.
      Matthew 7:21
      The truth we don`t like:
      - we are sinners who are called to repentance and to born again, Luke 13:5 , John 3:7
      - we are called back home with renewed minds and hearts, yet many shall reject the calling and perish into the torment.
      - we live under demonic power, the evil spirits in high places: Ephesians 6:12
      - there is a risk to be a lukewarm and a cast away. Revelation 3:15 , Luke 9:25
      - the final A.I shall be humans themselves, Spirits in-prisoned into the machine, wishing to die, yet no death for them. Revelation 9:6
      - as time pass by, there be more and more betrayals, among families:
      ¤ son against his father, father against his son,
      ¤ daughter against her mother, mother against her daughter,
      ¤ mother in law against daughter in law

Thus, the people who wanted it the least are the people who think that being successful or achieving your dreams are effortless. Meaning, they don't want it enough to work hard on it.

    “ my experience has been that my mistakes Led to the best things in my life and being embarrassed when you mess up is part of the human experience. Getting back up and dusting yourself off and seeing who still wants to hang out with you afterword and laugh about it ; that’s a gift. “
    these words really touched my heart today. Beautiful.
    “ being publicly humiliated over and over again at a young age was excruciatingly painful but it forced me to devalue the ridiculous notion of minute by minute ever fluctuating social relevance likability.”
    This is something everyone needs to learn.

All I can say is that your speech had me on tears.... your music, talent, wisdom, and empathy, definitely will take myself and my girl to your concert. Don't worry any longer of what you didn't have in life. You now have a life were most can only dream of. You've made and continually making an impact to young girls most female college grad can barely scratch. I am proud of you and your family who is there with you every step of the way since hardship to now success. You are remarkable talented and very much loved. Yes we all are allowed to make mistakes. Mistakes is what makes us humans and a way for growth. Continue to shine Taylor. 🥰I am now officially a Swiftie.... 🤩

    to say Taylors a genus is a understatement,
    thank god she didn't give up,
    reputation, lover and folklore might never happened if she gave up
    and evermore, fearless and red both Taylors version might never have happened,
    Taylors family and Joe are the best thing that's happened to her,

    This is the best speech I have ever heard. She regards sincerity as the most important thing. Taylor Swift is a great story teller. I root for her as a writer, artist and 'good girl'. She will be 22 years old forever.

    Tho I’ve not appreciated this young woman’s talents before, THIS is demonstrably excellent. With an acre of TheReddestLipstickEver, she navigates a LONG, uplifting talk (*seemingly without a glance at a teleprompter), delivered like the girl next door. I’m impressed.

    Beautiful! I can see why my eight-year-old granddaughter loves her. She has made me a fan as well. You go, girl! Thank you for sharing your talent and heart with the world. You are a shining, singing light. Lead on!

    I am Kelce Mahomes Andy Reid of the Chiefs fan. Not previously a fan of TS. Kelce falling for Taylor leads me to check out why such devoted Swifties. What non-Swifties are missing out? Couldn’t be just music. This speech, the best commencement speech I have ever heard, explains a lot. Then my research into her struggles, lyrics, work ethics etc. … explains a lot more. Respect to Swifties. Travis, you can call on Kylie K. as a friend but are on your own now.

    I guarantee she sat on a couch or a bed and wrote that whole speech herself. She is an unbelievable person. After this 2023 tour, she will go down as one of the biggest ,here from Pittsburgh. I hope I get to see her someday

    I don't know how I'm only watching this now. This made me cry. I grew up with Taylor- I was 13 when "Tim McGraw" first hit the radio, and I've been a fan ever since. I didn't have the opportunity to go to college. Somehow this feels like she's up there on behalf of all of us who never got that opportunity.

    I'm a 73 year old Australian...at my age nearing the end of life's journey...I never ever expected to become an unashamed fan of this very clever... intelligent young lady...a multitalented genius who has...all by herself...albeit abley supported by those who believe in her...made such an impact upon not only her own country...but the world. And as an added bonus... beautiful as well. Listening to her giving her speech here...unassisted...no teleprompter...no notes...relevant and amongst so many superlatives interesting...no hesitation...confident. if anyone well deserves a Doctorate and incredible honor...Taylor Swift does.
    In the future...when the tours are done...the songs have ended...I can think of no one more suited able and if willing and brave to serve her country enter into the turmoil of politics and stand for the Senate and for the Presidency. Amongst the turmoils and sadness...conflicts throughout the world...she alone has bought untold relief...happiness hope and joy to millions. What a star...what a legacy.

    Her eloquence, depth of character and wisdom is really unfathomable for someone still so young. Her experiences and drive in life makes her so deserving of this Doctorate!!! Brava Dr. Taylor Swift👏🏼 Someone with so much more to give! I can’t wait…

      @rose D’encole agreed. I’m an accomplished woman in my late 40s and I am floored by her. She is truly something special.
