something about stepping into the daylight?

I’ve struggled with unmanageable anxiety for almost my whole life. I get rushes of fear telling me that I can’t do what I want, that I’m not strong enough. It affects me in small ways like not being able to walk to the cafeteria alone to big ways like not being able to make new friends. For a while I didn’t i had a condition, I thought I was broken or messed up. And then, one day, I heard “I Almost Do,” and I felt so understood. The song became my escape from the anxiety attacks. The lyric “I can’t say hello to you and risk another goodbye,” stuck out to me. I have really wanted a tattoo of “say hello” to remind myself to not let my anxiety control me. When I was lucky enough to meet Taylor I got the chance to thank her for helping me cope with something I felt controlled by. I also wanted to ask her to write “say hello” for me but was unable to bring the paper/pen in with me for security reasons. I still really want the tattoo so I was hoping maybe this post would get to Taylor somehow <3 @taylorswift @taylornation

the past year has come with a lot, a new ptsd diagnosis my existing anxiety + depression + processing disorder, but it’s also been a year where some beautiful things happened and i’m so grateful that taylor and her music have been there for me through it all <3

I Almost Do taught me how to cope and manage my anxiety, something i didn’t know was possible <3 thank you @taylorswift

Without all my disabilities, fights, and flaws I wouldn’t be standing here so tall ✨ ☀️

when I joined tumblr I was scared i wouldn’t be accepted because of my processing disorder and my anxiety/depression but years later i’ve found tumblr to be a safe place where i am accepted not in spite of my disabilities but fully with them <3

Swiftie Talent: ✨I took up drawing to help mange the pain of my processing disorder (weakened muscles in my arms and hands) and this was my first project 🥺 i’m pretty proud of how it turned out ✨

‪If you need me i’ll be snuggled in this Lover blanket for the next 20 seconds to 20 years 💕✨‬
