I don't usually use Tumblr, I don't really understand how it's used so I normally just like and repost things, but I wanted to say something that I feel like it's really important and that some people should read.
First of all I would like to say I am so happy for the people who got money from Taylor to get through this hard time. No other artist does that to her fans, helping them like that and we are so lucky to have her. I have read a lot of comments here and mostly on Twitter about people being envious about that. This is why I am writing this post.
The situation we are living, it's not a game, it's not going to be just a month, this will change us, forever and in this times we should be more united than we have ever been, everyone.
There is people who are struggling even more than others, some have lost someone in their family or friends and can't even do visit them, some haven't been able to meet a new baby in their family, and some have lost their jobs and in danger to lose their houses.
This is very important and instead of going behind the back of those who Taylor gave money to because they were having a hard time we should cheeris them, support them because this is not easy and I am so glad they got that money that can help them even if it is for a couple months.
I am not one to tell my personal life in here but I want to tell my specific case so everyone feels supported, so they can know we can have each other's back, that we are not alone in this.
My dad lost his job a couple months ago, this was before the coronavirus. It was a hard time and we were hoping for him to find a new job but in the meantime I would give half of my paycheck to my parents. They have always been there for me so that was the right thing to do. My mom was really worried because my brother was getting married this year and she wanted to give him money for the wedding like her parents did with her but she couldnt afford it in that moment so I gave that money to my brother to help pay the wedding.
I was happy because for the first time in my life I was in a position in which I could really help my family out with my savings. My mom has always wanted to go to New York, it was her dream so I decided to book a trip just for her and me, so she would finally be able to go and forget for a bit about her problems back home so many miles away.
Then the coronavirus happened. At first I thought this was going to be just for a couple weeks but it clearly hasn't. My brother's girlfriend has lost her job and me too. So everything is slowly coming down. We have some money saved thanks God but I know difficult times are coming for us. During and after the coronavirus because it will be impossible to get a job with the economic crisis that is coming afterwards.
After founding out about my job my mom told me to get a refund of the trip so we could use the 3000 euros it costed. We had get an insurance for that and then they told me it wouldn't cover the coronavirus. So we have lost all of that money. We can't travel and we can't get the money back in these much needed times.
I just can't believe how companies that are millionaire are doing this. That money is ours and they just don't care, they don't at all.
So now all we have left is support from one another, and trust me, is so important to be able to talk to someone about your problems. This is the main reason I wanted to write this, so you know that you are not alone, that we can talk and we will get out of this. Together.
And please, to the people I mentioned early about the money Taylor is giving: this is a very difficult time, it's not right to tell someone if they deserve or don't deserve that money if they are struggling like this. We should be happy for those people. I am happy for them and so grateful for having Taylor in our life's. Listening to her music is helping me so much, more than ever probably.
Lastly, I would like to mention something about Taylor's tour. I know you are scared that it won't happen. I am scared too. I have been waiting for 10 years for her to come to Spain and I am so lucky I have been able to see her in Dublin and London previously pero this time was going to be special, in my country, after such a long time and with my friends. I know it hasn't been cancelled yet but they have cancelled me 3 concerts this year already, one later than Taylor's so I don't know... And obviously there are more important things in life but when I go to a concert of hers, everything just disappears, for two hours I am fully happy, no worries at all, and Im just scared if she cancells she won't come to my country anymore... But the most important thing is for us to stay safe, the fans, Taylor, her team...
Well I guess this was everything I had to say
Please stay home and stay safe, we will get thought this.
