Hello everyone, I'm Taylor Swift. Allow me to share a part of my life story, a journey intertwined with music, ups and downs, but above all, self-discovery throughout the years.

Early Days:

I was born on December 13, 1989, in Reading, Pennsylvania. Music has always been a part of my life, and I learned my first chords from my father, who worked in finance. As I grew up, I discovered my passion for songwriting and singing.

Early Steps to Fame:

My journey to fame began very early. At just 16, I signed my first record deal. Albums like "Taylor Swift" (2006) and "Fearless" (2008) brought me my first awards and won the hearts of many.

Challenges and Inspiration:

Throughout my career, I've experienced highs and lows. Songs like "Love Story" and "Shake It Off" became anthems for generations, and each song carries a piece of my personal experience, love, and pain.

Activism and Impact:

Beyond the music world, I'm involved in various social issues, especially regarding artists' rights and women's rights. I believe in the transformative power of words and art.

Personal Life:

My personal life has often been the subject of media attention, but I've always aimed to preserve privacy. Friends and family are my foundation, providing support and inspiration.

"Folklore" and Creative Freedom:

Albums like "Folklore" (2020) marked a new phase in my creativity. It was a liberation from expectations, exploring different sounds and telling stories in my own way.

Continuation of the Journey:

Today, I continue the journey, creating music that reflects different aspects of my life. Every note, every word has a special meaning, and the audience is what makes this journey worthwhile.

Thank you for being a part of my world, for supporting my music, and for sharing the journey together. I always look forward to new things I can share with you.

Another horrible, yet wonderful year

It's December again, and I find myself reflecting on where I was at in January. it has been another incredibly complicated year with ups and downs just like the rest.

Exactly a year ago at the beginning of last December, I got out of the hospital again, It's seemingly routine for me for most holiday seasons to need a trip to the mental hospital. A few days after getting out of the hospital it was clear that moving in with my best friend and her partner was the best option for me. Living alone had been incredibly detrimental to my mental health.

Living with my best friend and being in a loving home environment for the first time in my life was quite literally life-changing to me. And I quit my job in fast food management as that was incredibly demanding in ways that were just simply too draining for me. in between that job and my next, I attended an IOP program (intensive outpatient program) essentially equating to 24 hours a week of therapy. which was very hard but in my time there I had made a new friend, and stabilized myself quite a bit. graduating IOP is one of my biggest accomplishments this year.

This year really challenged family dynamics, as due to quite a few different things I was forced to see both of my parents in a horrible new light, which has been incredibly depressing and freeing at the same time. As all i really ever wanted was to feel loved by a family.

While my own family was quite the sore subject, I got closer with my best friend, and her mother who have both been there for me for so long now, it's really been a transition from blood family to found family this year.

then by the beginning of spring, all hell broke loose, as if the ice and snow melting seemingly released some kind of pandora's box on me. Most of spring and summer was kind of a blur at this point.

As I had what I consider to be, the absolute worst month of my life, April 7th my great aunt died, a woman who had been a safe place for me for as long as I can remember. The only family member by whom I felt loved unconditionally, her home had been my safe place. somewhere nothing bad could ever happen. When life was too overwhelming I would escape to her house. Where she would let me eat whatever I wanted, and we would watch whatever I wanted and just talk. I was closer to her than I ever was to either of my parents. Losing her was equal parts devastating and also a relief.

She had been sick most of her life, and the last 3 years of her life were horrible. As awful as it sounds I wished she had died sooner, she was single-handedly the greatest woman I had ever met. She had been a nurse for most of her life, with a very strong attitude and sense of humor. Her birthday was November 11th, and after 2000 she would always use her birthday to remember those who had died in the tragedy. She was truly a selfless woman, being the safe haven for the children in my family who had less-than-stellar parents.

Her funeral was about a week or two later, the second funeral I had ever attended. It was so beautiful and perfect and she would have loved every single detail of it. We spent just as much time laughing as we did crying as she would have wanted. I got the honor of being the last person to speak at her funeral, with a letter I had written to her the day after she died. and I also got plenty of time alone with her urn as people were downstairs.

I got dumped by my boyfriend of 7 or 8 months a day or two later, and it's pretty safe to say I felt as though my life was a complete wreck. And I had just started my new job, and was constantly emotional, crying at the drop of a hat over everything. an overnight shift I had to cover at a hotel for about a month.

A little over a week into that job, my son almost died, and I felt as though I could never catch a break. but I continually used my overnight shift with all of that time alone to myself to journal, and just sit with myself and all the stuff I had just faced.

I'm no stranger to adversity or hardship though, and I just kept trucking through. It seems that the turning point of this year would be my 20th birthday, my son's father and I always made a point to see each other once a year. And I would text him pretty regularly, especially when my relationships would begin to fail and I would find myself single.

Admittedly, I am oblivious, and although my love for him never truly went away even though it had been 4 years since we had ended our relationship I never picked up on the fact that the feeling was entirely mutual.

So when a nasty storm had ruined my plans for my birthday, he drove two hours in torrential downpours to pick me up. two hours back to his mother's in which I would not stop talking the whole time. I wont go into detail of what happened when we got to his home, but I will say this when he kissed me every feeling I thought I had been able to get over finally came flooding back to me.

That kiss felt like it was the most right kiss in my entire life, like every other time anyone else had ever kissed me it always felt wrong and uncomfortable. and at one point he looked into my eyes and said that they were still so beautiful. I was still fighting my real feelings so I punched him in the chest and called him bro.

That afternoon changed the course of my life, as I was only supposed to be living with my best friend until October. though it was only I was struggling to find a place for myself one that I could bring my son to. (I would like to note that I am leaving out some other important details of what happened this year as that is a story for another day)

The next day my son's father started his apprenticeship, as he was finally home from all of his navy training. we would continue to see each other in secret, and talk non-stop. I finally broke down and explained some things to him about my life that I had been keeping secret from everyone. and He promised he would help me.

we officially started dating almost two weeks later at the beginning of August, and by the end of the month he had found an apartment for us then by October he and I began to set in motion something to fix those background details. Which again is a story for another day when I am actually able to tell it.

But as it stands now, here in December, looking back on the crazy rollercoaster that was my 2023, I am thankful, I started this year feeling completely defeated and alone but through the love and patience of my best friend and her partner, I was able to pull myself out of that dark spot enough to finally begin working on myself and growing. I was able to heal and grow enough to impress my son's father, show him how much I had truly changed since we broke up in 2019, and rekindle our relationship. Currently, our relationship is better than it has ever been.

And I am more hopeful than ever, that finally after 20 years I will be able to get free of the blood that has poisoned me for all of my life and build bonds that will free me.

While I know life won't be easy, finally for the first time in my life I know I will never face anything as hard as I have in the past. I will face more unexpected challenges, but now I have the strength to pull myself up and support that will catch me if I fall.

Pleased to announce that the Aspire Community Foundation website is live! It features the work and causes we are supporting through our family foundation. The Foundation formalises our efforts so that we can work with other NGOs and partnerships to further support Sri Lankan communities. The Aspire Community Foundation was founded by our family in 2021 during the pandemic to provide support to Sri Lankans who have fallen upon hard times as well as people who don't have access to education and work opportunities. In the 6 months we’ve been working as a foundation, we have already supported over 17 projects and helped over 400 families. There is much need, during these times, and every bit of support helps. The link is in my bio if you wish to find out more about the foundation 😊💜 @aspirecommfoundation #community #nonprofit #philanthropy #givingback #volunteer #charity #familyfoundation #fundraising #support #donations #projects #volunteering #livelihood #children #education #work (at Nawala, Sri Lanka) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ_kld1hgfy/?utm_medium=tumblr

How does your family play? I heard the phrase “the family that plays together, stays together” and it totally hit home. ⠀ I loved watching mine create this masterpiece 😊⠀ There were no bathrooms in site 😬 but plenty of rocks, wood and sand to play with. My happy place is quality time with my family. 💜⠀ ⠀ #Familyfirst #familyfoundation #familyisforever #buildingstrongerrelationships #timetoplay #qualityfamilytime #thefamilythatplaystogetherstaystogether https://www.instagram.com/p/B1v-jrYAKzE/?igshid=1jygle7uijiao

Forward to Treasure

Hello darlings. Wow, we're almost to the end of the prompts for Prompt Month! It's been such a wild ride, and I'm already excited for June.

This one is for Andrea, who requested Blaec and Co. at the Smithsonian. You'll notice this one isn't Mismatched, and that's because it's well before they met Brandon. I hope you enjoy it darling, and thank you so much for all your support!

+++

“Hey look Blaec, it’s your cousin.”

“I’ve told you three times that dragons and dinosaurs are not related.”

“But you don’t know for sure.”

“Yes I do.”

Evelene giggled helplessly into her glowering husband’s shoulder as their dark elf beamed, all teeth and violence. Rhys was laughing too, and Thori was unsuccessfully pretending to ignore them as he read the information placards about the dinosaurs.
