Hi. I wrote a letter for Taylor and I would be forever thankful if you guys helped me get her to see this?
taylorswifttaylorswifttaylorswiftDear Taylor,
I wanted to write to you and just dream that someday you will read this. I’m not really a good writer but I need you to know these things. This is going to be some sort of thank you and I’m just writing as things come to me so it might be all over the place. I first want to say thank you for writing your music. There has never been and probably never will be another musician who I can relate to so well that hearing certain songs can bring me to tears every time they come on. There will never be anyone else who I can play over and over and over again without getting sick of. I can’t physically remember the last day that I didn’t listen to your music. I can listen to it doing or going through anything. You’re just always there for me without you even realizing it.
I want to thank you for being there to make me smile each day. I could be going through the worst day of my life but I can go online and see what you were doing that day with your friends or see something that you wrote to one of us or I can just turn on your music and everything gets a little better and a little easier. That is something that I can’t thank anyone else on this earth for. No one else makes me consistently happy without really trying. Every time I see you smile in an interview, walking down the street or smiling during a performance, not only my world but the world gets a little brighter. Whether you are going to believe this or not you make this world so much of a better place. It’s not just me but millions of other people feel this way. Your heart and personality has already made such an impact on so many people and you continue to do so.
I want to thank you, Taylor, for caring about us. You have no idea what impact it has on people and all of us when you call us your friends. We’ve all literally dreamed of being your friend for years and you caring about us back is one of the most important things to us, or at least me. We know you care about us and you support us and are there for us and we can never thank you enough for that.
Another thing that I want to thank you for is for teaching me that it is okay and better to be different and that when your young, you know nothing and you learn as you grow. You taught me that it’s okay to mess up and learn from my mistakes as I grow up. I’ve absolutely loved growing up with you and you’ve taught me so many life lessons that I don’t know how else I would have learned without you. One of the most inspiring things that you’ve ever put in a song for me was in Fifteen. The way it related to my life when I first heard this song 6 years ago brought me to tears, and I will never ever as long as I live forget these words that I’ve lived my life off of for so long. “When you’re fifteen, don’t forget to look before you fall. I found time can heal most anything and you just might find who you’re supposed to be. I didn’t know who I was supposed to be at fifteen.” This has stuck with me from my age of 9, through 15 and it will continue to help me throughout the rest of my life and I will never be able to thank you enough for that. Just so you know, these are just a few lyrics out of many that have changed me and the way I live my life for the better; Innocent- “It’s okay, life is a tough crowd. Thirty-two and still growing up now.” Tied Together with a Smile-“Hold on, baby you’re losing it, the waters high you’re jumping into it and letting go and no one knows, that you cry and you don’t tell anyone.” (Thank you, thank you, and thank you for writing this. It’s been there through the toughest times in my life.) The Last Time- “And all the times I let you in, just for you to go again.” The Outside- This entire song has affected me and meant so much to me since I first heard it, I can’t pick one line. Never Grow Up-“I just realized everything I have is someday gonna be gone.” Clean- Ever since this came out, I can’t listen to it in public or I will end up full on sobbing but the line that gets me the most is, “The water filled my lungs, I screamed so loud but no one heard a thing.” Breathe- I’ve always loved this song but when my only friend at the time left me a few years ago it helped me get through it. “Now I don’t know what to be without you around…I can’t breathe without you but I have to.” Forever and Always- “Was I out of line? Did I say something way to honest? Made you run and hide.” Begin Again- There was a time in my life when I was angry and upset at the world for certain things and one morning this song came on my shuffle and it really changed everything and I will never forget the way it hit me in that moment. (It was also on a Wednesday which was mind blowing:) “I’ve been spending the last eight months thinking all love ever does is break, burn, and end, but on a Wednesday in a café I watched it begin again.” Long Live-I wish I could personally thank you for this entire song because it makes me extremely happy through anything. Okay I think it’s enough of those because pretty much every song has at least one line that I just want to scream to the world to be heard.
I want to tell you something that no one else knows and that is that I trust you more than anyone in my life. You’ve never hurt me and you can’t hurt me and whether you know about this girl from Ohio who screams the lyrics to your songs, and dances around her room blasting music about feeling 22 or about how all he had to do was stay and that the haters are gonna hate but I’m just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it off, all I know is that you can’t hurt me. You’re there for me indirectly and you help me through everything and all I know is that you will never ever hurt me and that is something I’m so thankful for. I have this journal and I write in it every time I feel like I’m struggling to breathe and I can’t keep up with this storm people call life. I write to you though. I write like I’m writing a letter to you, like somehow you will know and help me and give me advice. You’re my savior Taylor, every time you’re the one that can pull me out of the deep end. I will never ever be able to thank you enough for that which is one of the saddest things to me.
I want to say thank you for all these things more than anything in the world and I want to say them to you in person but you don’t have time for that. This is why I’m writing this, I believe that if I ever get that once in a lifetime chance of talking to you face to face, I will freeze and not be able to say any of these things but I need you to know them. So Taylor, I want to thank you for all of these things and so many other moments in my life that you have made me smile. I can’t say that I’m quite walking around with a permanent smile on my face, but it’s closer than it ever has been and it’s all because of you. So thank you Taylor, I love you whole-heartedly and I will happily do so until the day that I die.
Yours truly,
Emily (from Ohio :) I love you!
P.S. You followed me ( redllips-rosycheeks ) on tumblr on November 16, 2014 and I will forever be thankful for you noticing my not so subtle love for you! :D
