This Year,
I suffered my first real heartbreak. I lost someone that I considered to be my best friend and my first love. I had friends and family to support me, to listen when I wanted to talk and to hold me when I needed to cry, but the person who helped me cope the most was someone I've never met or spoken to. It may sound ridiculous, but Taylor Swift's music was my biggest source of comfort. It was a reminder that I wasn't alone in my pain and confusion, that someone else was acutely aware and empathetic of my struggle. I can honestly say that Taylor Swift has taught me more about life than any teacher, therapist, or older relative ever has. She's taught me that it isn't other people's opinions of you, but your opinion of yourself, that matters. She's taught me that I am something tangible and three-dimensional, concrete and real, and hurtful words are merely empty air with no substance or power to define me. She's taught me that I'm stronger than those who try to break me; that love is sometimes difficult, but always worthwhile, and when it is lost, it can be found again. Her songs helped me through many restless nights and tearful days, and I'm immensely grateful that she has chosen to share the beautiful gift she possesses with the world. The mark her music has left on me is eternal and will outlast those inflicted by the people who
have walked in and out of my life. ♥
