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
