I don't know what it is about my birthday that brings all of my toxic family members out of the woodwork, but it always does. Especially the past couple years. I end up spending the day with my heart aching, wounds reopened despite how hard I work all year long to heal. And this year, with mothers day right around the corner, it's especially biting... I don't know why she loathes me so much, let alone never loved me (I guess because I had the audacity to be born female... and then I got sick and it's chronic, so I've been dubbed nothing but a "burden") but I just don't understand why anyone expends energy to actively go out and harass and hurt others. Like, you don't love me or want me around. Okay, fine, then just leave me be- don't go out of your way to cause problems, you're just wasting energy? It's the same principle with on here, people who send hate anons. It just really makes no sense. I just. I'm so exhausted.

Taylor's "Mean" was always my anthem for me to my mother. And I'm learning more and more every year just how perfectly it applies, as I grow older and I'm seeing the patterns, seeing how her parents have some of these behaviors too and I think about "I bet you got pushed around, somebody made you cold-" and how much I am and always have been determined to end that cycle. I'm that person who goes out of her way to show love, empathy and kindness to others because I know what it feels like to be hurt. I'm that person who will keep my heart soft no matter what. Anyways, I'm just putting these thoughts into the void today and I just wanted to give a shoutout to everyone/anyone else out there who maybe didn't have the best childhood or family; who don't have the kind of mothers that we necessarily want to think about when everyone is talking about it this weekend. You're not alone, and your feelings are valid. You are so loved, even if you didn't get love from that first person who was supposed to give it to you. You are loved, you are beautiful, and your heart is something special. If anything, I'm here for you, I understand you, I love you.

@taylorswift thank you again for all of the words and music that have both helped me through painful times but also shaped me into the woman I want to be. 💕
