To me, “FEARLESS” is not the
absence of fear. It’s not being completely unafraid. To me,
FEARLESS is
having fears. FEARLESS is having doubts.
Lots of them. To me, FEARLESS is living in
spite of those things that scare you to death. FEARLESS is falling madly in love
again, even though you’ve been hurt before. FEARLESS is walking into
your freshmen year of high school at fifteen. FEARLESS is getting back
up and fighting for what you want over and over again… even
though every time you’ve tried before, you’ve lost.
It’s FEARLESS to have faith
that someday things will change. FEARLESS is having the
courage to say goodbye to someone who only hurts you, even if you
can’t breathe without them. I think it’s FEARLESS to fall for your
best friend, even though he’s in love with someone else. And
when someone apologizes to you enough times for things
they’ll never stop doing, I think it’s FEARLESS to stop believing
them. It’s FEARLESS to say
“you’re NOT sorry”, and walk away. I think loving
someone despite what people think is FEARLESS. I think allowing
yourself to cry on the bathroom floor is FEARLESS. Letting go is
FEARLESS.
Then, moving on and being alright…That’s FEARLESS too. But no
matter what love throws at you, you have to believe in it. You have
to believe in love stories and prince charmings and happily ever
after. That’s why I write these songs. Because I think love
is FEARLESS.
