To my friends, family, and Taylor...thank you.

This year has been one of the most taxing of my whole life. The last 8 years in general have been hard, as I have been dealing with chronic pain that doctors weren’t able to diagnose the cause of until a couple of years ago. Since then, I’ve had two surgeries, but it hasn’t fixed everything and I’m still experiencing chronic pain. My year started with hip surgery and I was feeling amazing during my recovery. I woke up with a new outlook on life, less depressed in general and I was READY to take life on full force. 3 weeks after my surgery I received a disturbing message from a random girl on Facebook basically telling me my boyfriend of 6 years matched with her on tinder and cheated on me and told her he had cheated on me previously. I don’t even want to focus on the negativity of everything that happened with him, but I was in a very dark place for a while. I truly didn’t know how I was going to come back from this...how I was ever going to be able to learn to love and trust anyone ever again. What I didn’t expect was for this situation to be the best possible thing that could have ever happened to me. How could I be thankful that someone hurt me in one of the worst ways possible? I truly learned who my real “people” are. The amount of support and love I got, I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to pay back. I know this is cliché, but once again, Taylor’s music got me through SO much over the last 13 years. When ME! Was released I had several people message me telling me the song was written for me and I really needed it. Then when Lover came out and the first song was I Forgot That You Existed, it perfectly described how I was feeling. There’s no use in wasting energy hating someone who clearly didn’t care how he hurt me. The entire album is amazing, but once again, Taylor KNOWS what we need when we need it and this album has really just helped me move on with my life. I will never be able to thank my friends, family, and Taylor enough for making me see that I am more than enough and am worth more than the way one asshole treated me. And for that, I am forever grateful. The only thing left to say is that I really am doing better than I ever was ☀️❤️ @taylorswift @taylornation

[worththedrive1313]

Hey Taylor!! It’s Jessica. I want to tell you my life story. I know that’s kinda silly and cheesy, but you’re my best friend! & best friends tell each other things. I’ve messaged it to you, but I don’t think you’ll ever see it, so I figured I could try to reach you here.

Sorry in advance for cluttering any timelines!

I guess the story starts out when I was a baby. My mother was pregnant with me when my father (David) walked out on our family. When I was born, my mother had a drug addiction and couldn’t raise my brother and me to her best ability. She gave us to her parents, my grandparents. I lived with them for years. My mother would visit on Sundays and my father would call sometimes to check in, but I never met him in person. When I was in second grade, my grandparents decided that they wanted to adopt us. With approval from my mother and father, we went to court and placed under legal custody of my grandparents. Therefore, Grandma and Grandpa became Mom and Dad. They always raised me, so I saw them as my parents. (It gets confusing to I make sure to specify with “biological” or names when telling stories). Shortly thereafter, my biological mom passed away from a harmful combination of medication. This was the first death I ever really experienced, it was so difficult. My whole world turned upside-down. I felt very different from other kids my age. My parents weren’t as young or as active. I’ve always felt like something was missing. Years passed and my mother (grandmother) was getting increasingly sicker. She was on disability leave from her work due to all of her medical issues. She has pages of different diagnoses and no doctor really knows what is going on with her. Then, while I was in the 6th grade, my father (grandfather) got diagnosed with lung cancer. The doctors told him that his chance of survival was slim to none. My parents decided that since they were both ill, they wanted to be somewhere they were happier and where cost of living was cheaper. They decided to move us to Tennessee. My father ended up in remission, but we moved the day after my 7th-grade year ended. We lived in a house in the middle of the woods, 30 minutes from town. So, I spent an entire summer practically alone. I got extremely depressed and gained 30 pounds that one summer. Depression was something that was new to me so I didn’t handle it very well. School started and the curriculum was so different and the culture was so different and everything was so different. I thrived in school because the standard was much lower. I was at the top of my class. That year, my dad’s cancer came back. He fought long and hard but chances were even slimmer. It was around that time that I became medicated for my depression. Dad eventually went into remission again. Flash forward to my sophomore year in high school. I was still medicated, with a decently large dosage. My dad had some teeth pulled, and his oral surgeon didn’t pay attention to his PT/INR levels. He bled out for days. Because of this, he was diagnosed with leukemia this time. It was worse than it had ever been before. He was in and out of the hospital all summer. He went into septic shock a couple times. I had to miss the first day of my first job to go to the hospital with him. When situations deteriorated, dad was in the ICU for a while. I had to quit my job because I had no stable form of transportation (saying that I was newly 16 and couldn’t drive yet). I stayed in the ICU with my dad for a couple weeks straight. He was put on life support. We ended up having to unplug him on July 28th, 2015. My dad was my absolute best friend, role model, and my superhero. This devastated me. I isolated myself from everyone and became somewhat bitter. For the next two years of high school, my friend group shrunk and shrunk until I had virtually no one. My mother, who was sick all this time as well, fell into a deep hole. Her mental stability deteriorated with her physical stability. After all, her and my dad were married 30 years. She took a lot of her anger out on my brother and I. We even had to take her to the hospital once for overdosing on pain medication. She was very toxic to us. It reached the point where I had to record every conversation with my mother for liability reasons. She was ticking time bomb. I kept my grades up though and succeeded in high school. I graduated as the salutatorian. I am at a fantastic college now in upstate NY. I am studying to be a math major. I love it here and I have a support system that I never knew was possible. Being out of a toxic household has given me so much perspective on how bad it used to be.

I started listening to your music back when Teardrops was new. I made a mixtape with it and listened constantly. I, then, fell in love with Love Story. My aunt bought me Fearless for Christmas in 2008. That was the only album I listened to. For all of the releases since, I’ve been anxiously waiting and in love. I saw you in concert for Red and 1989 in Nashville. I wanted to see you for Speak Now but my family couldn’t afford tickets. Being a swiftie and being in the fandom is something I will never take for granted. Listening to your music, reading about you, and looking at pictures of you were always things that would cheer me up throughout my past. You were my inspiration to chase my dreams, and you still are. Thank you for always being there for me. Things were dark, but they’re looking up and I can’t wait to see what my future holds. I love you. If you read all of this, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I saw you at rep tour Gillette, and now I’ll see you this weekend for my hometown rep show in Nashville (section 117, row A, seat 3)! I would love to hug you and tell you how much you mean to me in person.

Hi tay! I just wanted to take a second to update you on my life. Since you dmed me in March, a lot has changed. I lost my mom on May 3rd and I still don’t really know how to handle all of this. My entire world feels like it was flipped upside down. My mom and I were best friends just like you and your mom so I’m sure you can somewhat understand how hard this is on me. Due to my mom being ill for so many months, I had to take some time off of school but I’m happy to say that I will be returning in the fall! The main reason I’m writing this post is to thank you. Your music has helped me more than you will ever know the past few months. When I’m feeling alone all I have to do is put on one of your songs and I remember that I’ll always have you on my side. I also wanted to thank you for the memories. Some of my fondest memories with my mom revolve around your music. Whether it was singing in the car, listening to your new albums for the first time together, or driving all the way to Nashville to see where it all started for you, those are the memories I’ll always look back on and be extremely thankful for. Every time I hear The Lucky One, which was my moms favorite song, I can picture her belting out in the car with me and although some days it makes me cry because I miss it so much, most days it makes me smile and feel grateful for the memories I do have with her. Taylor, thank you so much for being one of the only constants in my life. I wish I could hug you and thank you in person because you honestly don’t know how much your music and your words mean to me. I don’t think I would be here today without you. This tour is amazing and I cannot wait to see you again soon. I love you so much. Always on your side, Taylor

I’ll stand by you forever….. I decided to take a stroll down memory lane today to all the tours of the past and the times I expressed my love for you on places like facebook or all* of my school notebooks. (this is so far from everything I found). I found several letters that i’ve written you over the years and they filled my heart with so much love and gratitude for you and everything you’ve been for me the last 9 years. I can’t wait to add my reputation pictures (i’ll spare you the videos of me freaking out at live updates during opening night and release day but I could totally hook you up with those if ya want)

It seems like just yesterday I had just turned 10 years old and I spent all of my free time constantly talking about you, listening to your music, watching your vlogs and interviews, falling in love with everything about you and begging my parents to take me to see you in concert. I don’t know a life without you in it, I grew up loving you, loving your music, seeing you on tour, dancing endlessly to your music, making a million jokes and references no one around me understand and truly being the “Taylor Swift Girl” (my favorite title).

Your music has truly been the soundtrack to my life. You were there for grade school,middle school and high school crushes, you were there when I felt alone, when I felt insecure, during family problems, during friend problems, during celebrations, during the moments i’m on top of the world, or simply the moments of dancing around in my car or my bedroom mirror, and boy when my first real love came around, you were there. You and your music continue to be my soundtrack and my source of joy day in and day out. I’m only speaking in past tense to reflect on all the years you’ve been in my life. Your place in my life never has and never will shrink or disappear, at 19, it only grows stronger and stronger with each passing day.

I look to you for understanding, and when things aren’t going to great. But above all I look to you because of your strength, because of you i’ve know of resilience, endurance and I know of a woman kicking ass despite anything the world could possibly throw her way.

I’ve been so proud watching you achieve well beyond your dreams, watching you work so incredibly hard and standing up for yourself against those who didn’t and don’t know you. I’ve never hesitated in coming to your defense because people love to spread misinformation like wildfire, if only they did the same with the truth, because your truth is incredible. I have a kick ass role model.

I’ve been lucky enough to see you on each of your headlining tours. I cherish the memories more then I could ever express. Each show has taken me away to a magical, fun filled surreal place. There is truly no better place to be than a Taylor Swift concert. Of course i’ve also gotten to meet some pretty incredible people on the way. I’m so thankful for the people who you’ve brought into my life, as are so many others. Your impact is everywhere.

In 8 short days i’m taking a solo trip to nashville (i’m a little scared but mostly excited) to see you on the 5th tour of yours that i’ve been lucky enough to be apart of, nearly 9 years after my first show. I’d love a chance to thank you for being such a constant in my life. I’ll be on the floor in Sec P, Row 4, seat 22, and of course i’ll be spending my day at the venue, one of my favorite traditions. I’ll also be seeing you In NOLA in Sec D, Row 20, seat 18. I cant wait to dance the night away with you for the first time in 3 years. I love love love you always.

ok so I have wanted to do canine rehabilitation (like Physio for dogs) for a really long time (probably 9 years or so) so I went through all the schooling, became a registered veterinary technician and did the rehab certification program through university of Tennessee while I was in college getting my diploma. I had to travel to Tennessee from Toronto, ON twice- for the labs and for the exam. I got on a plane two weeks ago by myself and went to do the exam which took place over two days. I have been HELLA stressed, but this morning I got the news that I PASSED. meaning I am now a CCRP (certified canine rehabilitation practitioner). This is all I have wanted for SO long and I could not imagine doing anything else other than helping animals. AND WHAT BETTER WAY TO CELEBRATE THAN TO SEE TAYLOR IN NASHVILLE NEXT WEEKEND?????? My depression has been at an all time low recently and this was JUST the news I needed to get my spirits up, now I can focus on having fun at the concert and in NASH❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

This really hit home for me....being 23 and in constant pain sucks but I also know there are others who have it much worse :( I just wish we could all be happy and healthy

Here’s to the twenty-something’s who see more hospitals than bars

who are living on caffeine and prescription pills

whose time is filled with doctors appointments instead of business meetings.

here’s to the the twenty-something’s who are fucking tired

here’s to the twenty-something’s who don’t feel twenty-something at all.
