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."
-Taylor Swift.
