dear taylor, i love you. and you have done so much for me. after i got diagnosed with cancer, i was in a dark place. once they came back two weeks later, saying it was stage 4 brain cancer, and i had done my research on glioblastoma, i was in a really dark place. one i wasnāt sure iād ever come out of. how was i supposed to cope with no school, sports, driving, writing, or even running? short answer: you. i am very confident in the fact that you helped save me. no. you did save me. you helped me realize that i donāt have to stay the same, and the people that love me, are going to love me no matter what i choose to do. iāve been listening to your music since i was 11 and Red came out. and iām 17 now. when 1989 came out in 2014, it really hit me. i went to itunes, quickly bought the dlx version and i have listened to it every day, often more than once. i related to the songs before, but now i relate to them in a different way. it was and still is everything. once reputation came out, i wasnāt sure if i could possibly love someone more. it was about not caring about how youāre perceived. a few months prior i became known as the āsick girlā. i had to go to school to turn in some stuff and people on the way screamed āLAURA, NEED A TISSUE?ā. at a homecoming dance at a different school district someone came up to me and said āi love your hairā and snarled then rolled her eyes. in walmart, people pass then start talking about how trans people disgust them (im not trans personally, but no offense to anyone that is, i donāt share the same opinion). or when kids turn to their mom and talk, or just stare at me. they are scared of me. or how in the ER i got called a āhandsome young manā. but it never mattered what they thought. because i am not the opinion of someone that doesnāt know me. you helped me accept myself. i hadnāt ever been able to do that. and iām still working on it today. taylor, you changed my life, and i will forever thank you.
