Nobody talks about this song enough

I just wanted to show my appreciation for Taylor Swift. I’ve never talked about this publicly and I would really like to make an impact and show my appreciation. Although she may not see this, thank you. For backstory, I was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2022. Because it had been there for so long, doctors were unable to remove the complete tumor for my brain because it wasn’t safe.

Obviously, this changed my life. I was only 13 and scared. I didn’t understand whether I would live or not. Ever since then, I have appointments almost weekly due to the cancer and other health problems.

I found Taylor Swift’s discography around late 2022/early 2023. I deeply connected to her words and her experiences, which helped me get through my own. My favorite song, seven, helped me process my childhood, having me realize that my parents not being around still affects me to this day. I also deeply connected to the song Ronan. He had a very similar connection to what I had, and I was so so happy that Taylor had made a song about him and had so much sympathy for his family.

Taylor Swift has been there through the hard, rough parts of my life, and her words make me feel as though she is singing about my life. I’m not sure I would’ve gotten out of 2023 without her, after going through a whole separate mental health journey and connecting with her even more deeply.

Thank you Taylor Swift for the music you make. Millions of people worldwide can connect so deeply and it truly does improve everyone’s life. I am so grateful we have amazing women like you in the industry. We love you ❤️

If there are any other people who can relate in any way to this, I would love to hear and know about it. I hope to make updates to my health here so everybody has a chance and a community to speak to about problems like this.
