When Taylor Swift released the deluxe version of Lover, she invited us to start our own collection of journals, and so I did. Upon reading one of my older entries, I rushed to the piano and wrote this song within an hour or so. It’s an original song I am proud of because even though I don’t have the best singing voice and even though I’m not an advanced piano player, it’s raw, it’s emotional, and most importantly, it’s mine. This song is called I’ll Let You Go. I really hope you like it <3
P.S. I’m still recovering from a sore throat (and I really should not be singing right now but I couldn’t help it!!) so forgive the lack of consistency in my voice.
Thanks, @taylorswift for always inspiring us to create.
Thanks again @taylorswift for inspiring me to put this out there!! Your spontaneous release of folklore made me even happier I put this out there bc it is something I love 💕
2 years and 3 months ago I emptied a bottle of pills into my hand as I trembled, afraid for all of the wrong reasons, completely alone and isolated, and seeing no other way out.
Now I’m a resident physician. I’m in a good place with my family. I’ve narrowed my friendships to non-toxic people. And I’m in the best relationship I’ve ever known with someone who’s seen all my scars and loves me anyway.
Now I can honestly tell patients with depression that I know what it’s like. I can normalize mental illness for them, and offer them the right kind of help. I can tell them that I have been there, and can say from an honest place that it does get better.
If no one else is here to tell you they care, take it from me. I care. I care more than most people you’ll meet because I’ve been there. And you ARE worth it.
Don’t take them off when you immediately see it. Wait until you get to a
different destination bc they’re trying to distract you by getting it
off then abducting you. Same thing goes if you find something on your
windshield, it’s a distraction so they have time to get you.
WTF? Is this real?
Boost
Holy crap signal boost now!
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!
Idc I’m reblogging his on all of my blogs
Be careful out there !!!
Please please please PLEASE be careful!
Signal boosting this because omfg O.O
If you find it on your mail box, go on the phone with somebody and move to the nearest public place with a lot of witnesses. Stay there for a while and make sure you aren’t being followed. Arrange that you either can sleep somewhere else or that somebody you trust comes to your place. They are searching for easy targets, make yourself a hard target.
Otherwhise:
Stay aware, keep things you can use to defend yourself on your person (Keys between your fingers, peper spray, taser, etc)
Keep in mind what areas to aim for in a struggel
Always use your palm, elbow or tug your tumb in while striking to prevent injuring yourself.
Be carefull and try to go places in larger groups, preferably with several male friends.
Keep in contact with people and let them know about your where abouts so that not hearing from you in a while raises suspicion.
They like to aim for college students both because of the age group and because it’s more likely that you missing will be noticed late.
If you go out a lot or are searching for a new partner, stay aware. Don’t give your number out to strangers, go clubbing with bigger groups of friends and arrange that some of you stay sober that night, do not leave if you aren’t all together, watch your drinks, you can not trust a cute person you met at a club who brought you a drink, yes that also goes for other women. Do not leave with strangers, potential one night stands are not worth the risk. Do research on the clubs security beforehand, maybe go to the more expensive one with the better reputation, sure you might not be able to go as often but you will be going more save.
Same goes for bars.
All things considered you really want a new relationship try dating within your actual social circle. People your friends have known for a while or maybe long time friends themself. People who are registered at your university and you know have been leaving a social foot print are also more likely to trust. Always aim to go out with people you know others recognize and tell people when you plan to go on a date.
You do not play around when there is human traficing going on in your town guys. Stay save guys.
Reblogging this again for all this additional self defence/safety advice here for if you live somewhere where stuff like this is going on…
Stay safe guys!Yes ALL of you no matter the gender, sexuality, relationship/friendship status etc. And if a person or a situation seems “off”, trust your instincts and nope the f*ck outa there, no matter the time.
Goodness Gracious, Stay safe! I know I haven’t posted anything in awhile, and I’m working on that, but I have to share this! Please be safe, these things are terrifying! <3
Apparently keys aren’t a very good weapon
Fight dirty. Go for any sensitive spot you can think of. Show no mercy because they were not going to be merciful with you.
They are making audio and digital books available now too!!
I found a hardback printing of the Voynich Manuscript on here. This place fucking rocks.

the more i think about it the more fucked up it is that champagne problems sounds like BOTH all too well and new year’s day…and all too well is about the now tragic memories of the person you thought you’d spend forever with…and new year’s day is about finding that person who wants to spend the lowest lows with you as well as the highest highs…and obviously it’s a fictional song in a way the other two aren’t but maybe champagne problems is about what happens when you skip to the last page and it turns out….they didn’t stay.
not to mention that champagne is what you drink on new year’s eve….
she is literally so fucked up for all of this…
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO THOUGHT OF THIS SONG AS THR SAD SISTER TO NYD
How often must somebody who is in that sort of internal struggle must want to say to everyone in the room: You have no idea how close I am to going back to a dark place. folklore: the Long Pond Sessions (2020) dir. Taylor Swift
Can @taylorswift please please pleaseeeee do virtual secret sessions so fans can hear the re-recordings in a similar fashion to the original album releases?? It’d be such an amazing way for fans to hear her legacy reimagined 💕
