I Didn’t Tell You I Was Scared
One of my closest friends was diagnoased with breast cancer this week. It’s aggressive and she is preparing for the fight of her life.
Late last night I received a message from her partner with the details of her prognosis and treatment plan. We are hopeful.
This morning I drove to the beach so I could listen to Lover at full volume in my car and fully experience the album.
But oh boy I was not prepared or ready for Soon You’ll Get Better. Like, ugly crying y’all.
But honestly it was exactly what I needed. Thank you @taylorswift. Thank you for articulating and validating something I was feeling in silence because I thought I was being selfish.
“And I hate to make this all about me
But who am I supposed to talk to
What am I supposed to do
If there’s no you?”
I was ashamed that I have been having moments of “no you can’t leave” but music is powerful and validating and now I feel like it’s ok to have those moments.
Again, thank you Taylor. This album is beautiful.
