This is because I\u2019ve needed to figure some things out, both in my own personal life, and in the Hollywood world, too (see the below about doubles).  And analysis takes time and concentration.  So, I guess that\u2019s why.<\/p>\n<p>And in Taylor\u2019s case, there was doubt.  I\u2019ll admit that the constant rumors of Taylor \u201csettling down\u201d and raising a family w\/ Calvin, no matter how stupid they were, did rattle me a bit.  I tend to fall in love very, very hard, and the rumors spooked me.  Dumb, I know, but they did.  So, I\u2019ve been walling her off from my protections.  Not out of malice, but for the sake of self-preservation.  And because I need those thoughts for myself now.<\/p>\n<p>So in a sense I\u2019ve been leaving Taylor alone.  I still see her, and I still want her to be successful, but I haven\u2019t been protecting her like I used to.  And for now, she\u2019s going to need to continue going it alone.  I\u2019m still not really \u201cthere\u201d yet, in my own personal life.<\/p>\n<p>One day, I will be.  But not now.  <\/p>\n<p>P.S.  Christina Grimmie\u2019s death still looms large.  I need to think about all of this some more, before really committing to anything.<\/p>\n<p>I need time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here\u2019s another truth: Lately, I haven\u2019t been boosting Taylor so much, if in fact I\u2019ve even been doing it at all.
