Since May 2016 I’ve kinda been a little bit absent, I kinda disappeared. I got really, really sick. I developed anorexia nervosa when I was 16 years old. I nearly died, my organs were shutting down. In the last 2 years, I’ve needed to be admitted to the hospital 4 times, totaling about 5 months. I spent more than half my final 2 years of high school too unwell to attend. I was really alone, I was too embarrassed to tell anyone what was wrong with me and why I was so sick, even my best friends. The only people who knew I what was wrong was my immediate family. I was really alone. I spent most of my time while I was really sick, painting, colouring, (crying lol), and listening to Taylor’s music. I started uni this year, and I’m studying a bachelor of nursing, so very soon (well in 2 and a bit more years) I’m going to be an RN!!! Unfortunately, the start of uni was tough for me and within weeks I was back in hospital for the fourth time :( But since I was discharged in April of this year, I've really progressed in my recovery. It's been tough and they've been lots of setbacks and near hospitalisations but I pulled through and for the first time since I was 15, I'm almost at a healthy weight! And I'm actually really happy and proud of myself.
The first picture was me the week after I was admitted to hospital in 2016, I was so scared and so sick. The second picture is me last month, I'd just finished my first clinical placement and I was/am so happy! Sure I still have bad days but slowly but surely the good days are starting to outnumber the bad!!
In about 2 weeks I'm traveling from my hometown a few hours north of Sydney to Melbourne to see the Reputation Tour!! I'm traveling for the first time without my parents and I'm so nervous but also so excited, to see Taylor and meet so many of my friends!! Then the next week I'm going to the Rep tour in Sydney!!!! 3 months ago I didn't think I would be well enough to go to the tour!! let alone travel on my own!! I'm so excited!!!!
HOLD ON TO THE MEMORIES THEY WILL HOLD ON TO YOU✨✨ One year ago today I dressed up like a zombie and had the absolute time of my life at my very first Taylor Swift concert! That night will forever hold a special place in my heart because it marked the beginning of a brand new chapter of my life. Ever since that night; I am no longer afraid to be unapologetically myself. I sing and dance like no one is watching. I am stronger, brighter, more confident and above all I am HAPPIER than I have been in years! . I will also treasure all of the friendships that were formed that night. The ‘Swiftie Circle’ was made up of fans who were there by themselves or didn’t know anyone else. They are honestly some of the most beautiful people I have ever met and we are all still in contact today. Hopefully we can reunite at the Lover tour 😇😇 . So from the bottom of my heart THANK YOU @taylorswift and @taylornation ! Thanks to the reputation tour I am finally doing better than I ever was and now I see daylight 🥰🥰🥰 . . . #reputationtour #reputationtourmelbourne #reptourmelbourne #taylorswift #taylornation #swiftie #proudswiftie https://www.instagram.com/p/B4ENgUzBVt9/?igshid=ktdjon9466qt
I can’t believe that it will be Taylor’s first time back in Melbourne after 3 YEARS!! I remember going to see the last 1989 Melbourne show, being 25, tearing up!
And now I’m 28, headed to see the Reputation Melbourne show!
I’ll be in Section A2, Row Y, Seat 9 if anyone wants to come and say hello! I’m attending the show solo, so I would love to chat to people too!!
I can’t wait to tell my class of kiddos (I’m a primary school teacher) all about it!
Super excited to have the best night ever! So ready for it! <3 <3

#trueswiftietest Try doing this (look at both photos) on memory alone... it’s surprisingly hard! Or maybe just for me because of my long name and multiples of the same letter! But So much fun 😍 @taylorswift @taylornation #taylorswift #taylurking #swiftiesforever #taylorswiftlyrics #spottheswifties #reputationstadiumtour #reputationtourmelbourne #reptourmelbourne
