To me, fearless is not about the absence of fear. To be fearless is about having fears. Lots of them. To me, fearless is living in spite of those things that scare you to death. Fearless is about falling madly in love again, even though you’ve been hurt before. Fearless is getting back up and fighting for what you want over and over again…even though every time you’ve tried, 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 its fearless to fall in love with your best friend, even though he’s in love with someone else. And when someone apologies to you enough times for things they’ll never stop doing, I think its fearless to stop believing in 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 and prince charmings and happily ever after.

Because I think love is fearless.

- Taylor Swift, Fearless
