Can we talk about how brave @taylorswift was for playing Soon You’ll Get Better last night? Not long ago she said she could probably never play this song because of how painful it was - she could barely talk about it in interviews without getting emotional. And still, last night she did it live in front of millions of people FOR US. That got me thinking about how this pandemic is forcing us all to find the strength we never knew we had. In the midst of immense pain, we can find immense willpower and courage. So, I want to know - what obstacle have you surpassed during this time? What are you fighting against right now? How has this experience made you stronger?
Tell me about it and post a big beautiful picture of yourself, one where you’re happy. We will be smiling and singing together soon, no matter how hard it is now.
I’ll start!
- I decided to fight off my horrible anxiety and stay in one of the most COVID-19 ridden areas of the world - northern Italy - instead of going home. Why? Because I have people here that couldn’t go home and were so so scared of being alone. My love for them gave me enough courage to stay. And I’m so glad it did.
I’m tagging @nikkinevergoesoutofstyle @anherona @13-taylor-swift @reflectionofthearcher and anybody else that wants to share!
@dear-taylor-love-izzy this is a beautiful post and I’m so proud of you. 💕
I was diagnosed officially with having anxiety not long before Covid-19 arrived. So going into this situation with my anxiety has been a struggle. I’ve had some really down days, especially in the last couple of weeks, but I’m doing my best to stay positive and overcome it. I’ve started talking about my feelings more, I’ve even started therapy sessions and I’m not ashamed to say it. I’ve also started running again. I hadn’t ran for a long time as I am not a big fan, but I know that doing it will make me feel better both mentally and physically. I thought I would stop after going once or twice but I keep going and it’s getting easier and it’s getting faster and definitely helping to clear my mind, so I’m really proud of myself for that! I’ve also been baking with my family as it’s really been cheering me up and forget about all the crap going on! I still have my down moments, and my anxiety attacks come at me out of nowhere, but I know im moving in a positive direction and doing the best I can in these hard times. If Taylor can be strong and brave then so can I 💕
Here’s some pictures of me running and looking happy lately whilst having a Taylor music and wine night! The smile is genuine.

Thank you so much @nikkinevergoesoutofstyle for tagging me in this wonderful chain post💕 You’re so cheerful and optimistic Nikki!
In this lockdown period, I’m struggling to remain focused and not lose hope for my future. There’s this part of my mind which compares my being with others’ and thus takes me into a vicious cycle of overthinking and procrastination. I love to travel and explore places. It makes me realise how small my problems are in this humongous world.
The good part is that I’ve joined Tumblr and am starting to know beautiful people here who take me away from the negativities in my life. This is the only social media platform where i actually love to spend time without spiralling into deep existential thoughts. I’ve started to paint and cook which makes me happy. I know these are trying times but hope and will power is all that is needed. ✨☺️

Thank you what a great idea!!!
Just before this virus started spreading I made the decision to leave the company I had been working with for 22 years. I worked at a bank and they are cutting costs and closing offices so much, I knew it was smart to leave now. But then 2 weeks after we realized this would be a bad situation for a long time… I didn’t let it take me down though, I’ve been studying like crazy and the weird thing is I started to get more job interviews (maybe people with steady jobs withdraw now?). And….. now I have to decide between 2 jobs in a completely different field!
This is my family doing what we LOVE, traveling! I’m tagging @cvackie @deana-perfectlygooodheart @thislovetaylor89 @artakin and @proundauntnyc
I love this idea ♥
Well, least to say 2020 has been a very rough year for me so far. I’d already been in battle with anxiety and depression over the last couple of long months before COVID-19 came along. Been in and out of hospitals since January & have seen 4 different doctors who couldn’t figure out what is wrong with me, spending thousands on medicals because my company shut down and they terminated all of our contracts - therefore leaving me jobless and with no health insurance. Finally got diagnosed with hypothyroidism (which doesn’t help my depression at all lol). It’s just been a real struggle not having a job while this big hit came in & completely took out employment as an option for me (and I am sure many others) at the moment.
I spend alot of my time devoted to creating digital drawings of Taylor. My latest project has been my taylor comic series - literally the only thing keeping me sane during this tough time. Other than that, just staying home and watching lots of tv and playing online games! hehe.
I hope we all stay safe and strong through it all. Here is a picture of me & my daylight comic art.
I’m going to tag @drunkontay13 , @pnwswiftie and @flower-swift
