This photo is very special to me. Something during the wedding upset me. It is just a painful situation I have to deal with in life and not anyone’s fault. Trauma triggers often occur without notice. The grace of the situation is that I have wonderful people who love and care for me. I am so loved, even if I don’t have the traditional support some of my friends have in life. At one point during the wedding I, understandably, became emotional. I wasn’t anticipating to be emotional as this was such a happy week. But at the same time, my heart was filled with so much joy for the people who do get to have what I don’t have. So, it was bittersweet. Trauma yields triggers that we cannot control, while healing gives us the opportunity to make our own path. During the moment, my family friend rubbed my shoulder as she instinctually knew it would be a tough moment for me. And afterwards, I dejectedly sat down for a while at my table, even though a lot of people were out on the dance floor. She then asked me what song she could request to the DJ that I love so we could get out there and dance. I asked her to request Shake It Off by Taylor Swift, as I love it and everyone knows it. So, a few songs later we got out there and danced together. I danced away my body’s heaviness, laughed away the tears and sang away my saddening silence. I felt immense joy and relief. This photo was snapped during that moment I let go. When we see photos from exciting things like weddings or traveling, we often only see the gleaming smiles; we don’t see all the behind-the-scenes grief and devastation that may naturally come up for some of us in life. I’m so thankful for the space my loved ones hold for me as I heal myself in a world that is not always made for the sensitive and big-hearted. And I’m very grateful I was able to turn around my mood and have so much fun again even though I felt this deep sadness. This was a reminder that we can be loved back to life and that we will get through these things together. This may be my favorite photo of myself ever. It was a joyous moment coming down from a moment of loss. This is my moment of hope. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj3–RNLMem/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

FEELS @taylorswift @taylornation @tree-paine
I have absolutely loved Taylor Swift since 2007 — her music, her poetry, her honesty, her storytelling, her creative performances, her heart. Some people do not realize it’s so much more than “just a song”. They turn their noses up when we exclaim, “Your music saved my life!”.
When people are hurting, sometimes the smallest joys save them: a pet, a song, a poem, a text, a hug, a kind gesture — glimmers of hope, even in the darkness.
“Message In A Bottle” on Red Taylor’s Version has been on repeat for me (I adore the whole album!!) and I’ve been crying tears of joy. It is so comforting. (Ever heard of how people who struggle with anxiety rewatch their comfort show because they know the outcome and it builds a sense of safety? Comfort music is the same way!) This song reminds me of my younger self — so worried about being accepted that she let life just pass her by. “Message In A Bottle” to me is a message to my younger self. I used to be so scared of reaching out for help, or even just a “hello”. “I’m reaching for you terrified”. Here I stand today braver, no longer sending out an SOS in a message in a bottle. The only messages in a bottle I send now are ones of love and healing.
I am reminded every time Taylor puts out new music that I’m so unbelievably grateful to feel so deeply. Her music brought me moments of joy singing along to them in eating disorder treatment. I’ve been able to safely express nearly every emotion I’ve experienced growing up with her music. How exquisite it is to be heard and seen. Taylor has also given me so many friends who feel seen by her music, too. She’s given me community and friendship.
I would not be me if I didn’t feel the absolute joy and deep comfort of a powerful lyric, upbeat rhythm or therapeutic expression of emotions.
“'Cause you could be the one that I love
I could be the one that you dream of
Message in a bottle is all I can do
Standing here, hoping it gets to you”
Little Lex got the message. ♥️
Love you Tay!!

Just a friendly reminder that I would never have thought it was possible to go back and remake my previous work, uncovering lost art and forgotten gems along the way, if you hadn’t emboldened me. Red is about to be mine again, but it has always been ours. Tonight we begin again. Red (my version) is out now.

Fearless was an album that changed different aspects of my outlook on life. Fearless taught me that the true meaning is living life despite your fears. I am so proud of you, @taylorswift If LoveStory is this good I can’t wait to hear the rest of the album 💛 Love you to the moon and to Saturn ♥️

It’s not something I speak about too often but in honor of eating disorder awareness week I thought I’d do my part by sharing some of my story.The first picture was taken in 2015 while the second picture was taken this past summer. When I was about 16 years old I developed an eating disorder. My struggle with bulimia has been a daily battle but I’m working everyday to overcome it. My “before” photo may be the “more attractive” but to be honest, I’ve never been so comfortable in my own skin. Whenever I feel myself starting to slip back I think of @taylorswift ‘s words “it’s better to look fat than look sick” and it reminds me to keep going♥️
