Taylor talking to the crowd before ‘All You Had To Do Was Stay’ in Manchester, UK 06/24/15

Dear tumblr friends,

I lost my password to this tumblr and the email no longer works (still logged in via phone for now) so I created a new one & would love all of us to still be tumblr friends. I have a new user name, so message me and I'll share the new one with you!

You say you’re depressed - all I see is resilience. You are allowed to feel messed up and inside out. It doesn’t mean you’re defective - it just means you’re human.

No one stopped to think that maybe, just for a minute, on a given time on a forgotten day, I needed someone too.

“I’ve been having nerve issues, and this past year it’s gotten so bad that it hurts too much for me to walk. It was completely unexpected. I’ve always been such an optimistic person, but now I’m fighting with depression. He’s doing everything he can to take my mind off of it. We’re not sure if I’m going to get better, but he’s planning a backpacking tour through Europe for when I do. And I told him that I didn’t think I could handle a visit to New York right now, but he told me that he’d push me around the whole city. And he has. And whenever I feel particularly down, he tells me that he’s not going anywhere, and how happy he is that he married me. Not long ago I had a particularly rough period, and when I was at one of my lowest moments, he asked if we could renew our vows.”

“She has such a deep joy for life. She’s the one that taught me that no matter what happens, we’ll be just fine. I’ve always been so serious and ambitious, but I haven’t always been able to live up to my own standards. I wanted to get into a top law school, but that didn’t happen– I went to a fourth tier law school instead. Then after I graduated, I kept failing to get the job I wanted. But after each setback, she always gave me the sense that no matter what happened, we’d be just fine. She taught me that early on. So when her health problems started, I knew that even if she’s never able to walk again—we’ll be just fine.“

Favorite goodbye text.

Compassion hurts. When you feel connected to everything, you also feel responsible for everything. And you cannot turn away.

I love this so much.

wordsnquotes

When you are attracted to people, it’s because of the details. Their kindness. Their eyes. The fact that they can get you to laugh when you need it the most.

I’m drowning under the weight of my own expectations.

I can’t exactly describe how I feel, but it’s not quite right. And it leaves me cold.

F. Scott Fitzgerald (via wordsnquotes)

wordsnquotes

So often we try to make other people feel better by minimizing their pain, by telling them that it will get better (which it will) or that there are worse things in the world (which there are). But that’s not what I actually needed. What I actually needed was for someone to tell me that it hurt because it mattered. I have found this very useful to think about over the years, and I find that it is a lot easier and more bearable to be sad when you aren’t constantly berating yourself for being sad.“

John Green (via wordsnquotes)
