"Hi. I'm not even sure if you'll get this but hey-I figured that I'd give it a try. I don't wanna say that I think I'm actually calling you, I realize you're gone and you can't pick up the phone. I'm not even sure where I'm calling, if there is heaven or if you're just part of the sky. I'd like to believe that heaven is real, that someday I'll see you there again. I'd give anything to have that peace of mind, but for now I'll just hold out hope. Anyways if heaven is a place where you are, maybe somehow you'll hear this.

I miss you. It's weird that you aren't here anymore. You've missed so much, so many happy things and sad things; a lot of in between things too. There's so many things you're going to miss too, my college graduation and my wedding day.

I find myself being happy even though you're gone, and sometimes I feel a little guilty for it. Guilty because you didn't get to see this day. I wonder what you'd do with this day if you had been here for it. I'd like to think I'm living life for you, in a way that would make you proud of me. Maybe I am and maybe I'm not, but either way I'm trying. I' think you're proud of me just for that. I know I'm proud of you, how valiantly you lived, and the effect you had on all those around you. We all miss you. The world misses you and although the days are bit more gray without you I know when the sun shines you're behind it. I feel your presence in the smallest things everyday. I guess I just wanted to tell you that I miss you, and I know that somehow you're watching over me. So maybe I'll see you someday, if not I love you. I miss you. Bye"

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.

Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.
