Finding My People

You're my person.

Finding My People
Huffington Post

I'll be the first to admit, it took me what feels like a long time to find my people. You know, those ones you can always count on, the ones you can be wild with and the ones who will always make you laugh when you need it. It isn't easy finding those people in life and I honestly had a time in my life I thought I wouldn't find them.

My freshman year of college I felt so alone. I never thought I would find those people to support me and love me through everything. Then, sophomore year I moved into my sorority house and found some of the best friends.

I've always been quiet and shy and it wasn't easy to find those people. Opening up to people was really hard at first. However, once I did open up to people I found friends I never expected. I found the friends to laugh with, cry with, share embarrassing moments with and the biggest moments with.

If you are feeling alone and like you don't have those people in your life, it will happen. I hope you're never feeling alone and if you are, it will get better and you will find people to support you. Keep holding on and stay strong. You will find the people to share a pizza with on a Saturday night at 3 in the morning and stay up laughing all night with.

Thank you to my people. Thanks for always being there for me. Thanks for never judging me. Thanks for loving me and always sharing a laugh with me.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.
