so, I just finished watching #AdeleOnSNL a couple min ago & it’s 3:30am but I have no idea how I’m going to sleep because I feel SO happy tonight to see my girl so happy, glowing & clearly having fun just made me feel so light! Adele has meant the world to me for 5 years now + https://twitter.com/queenadeleslays/status/1320256744585633792

and yes, I’m getting very emotional tonight. Adele helped me through the darkest period of my life—My mental health had tarnished and the only voice, the only music that made me feel safe & actually FEEL after days of numbness was her’s... The love affair w/ Adele began in 2015 +

I had just tried to find myself again after years of keeping to myself & staying in a little bubble. I heard “Hello” on the radio and feel in love. Looked it up & was INSTANTLY transported back to my childhood rides to school with my cousins playing 21 in the car—things began

earlier but had never sparked until I was about 16 years old. I was lost in so many ways & (re)discovered her with 25. I fell so deeply in love & basically only listened to her day & night. I had the honour of seeing her in concert in 2016 & saw her up and personal as she +

walked down the aisle right past me & to the stage. The entire concert felt SO intimate. She paused in between & basically had a conversation w/ all of us almost! Talking about her day or experiences in the city, her drunk ventures & her writing journey. She was so warm & safe +

In that huge arena, with thousands of people, I felt taken care of. She never really looked my way, or maybe she did, I’m not sure... I like to think she did when she called on the people behind me & I had opened my eyes WIDE & she said “oh sorry sweetie”. I couldn’t tell if it +

was me she was talking to because with my animated face, it really could have been But that entire night, I felt so taken care of... it’s such an odd thought but I felt the same way listening to her music. & tonight it felt so similar... except this time it was different +

This time, she was taking care of us by giving us that room to laugh, to remember that we don’t have to cry & wallow in the sadness all the time. She’s was there to say, “hey love, I know things have been hard but just stay with me here right now & let the fun & happiness flow” +

I’m crying writing this & I don’t know if anyone’s going to read it but I just want to say that I needed this, I needed her & she came in a time that I feel like we all did. Adele reminded me that it was okay to feel sadness, it was okay to not be okay, we are allowed to cry +

And today she reminded me that it’s okay to feel joy, happiness & forget about all the stress on my shoulders. She almost held my hands into this comedic space, made me smile & gave me light as a “see you soon” gift... I don’t know if anything makes sense... thank you @Adele
