I may not have seen enough of this world, but one thing I have come across at so many instances is that where there is love, there is fear. Fear of losing, or even fear of winning. When you get what you want in lyf, there is a fear of losing that is so close to you and if you don't get something you want so badly, you have the fear of facing the world without your achievements. When you have a fake identity on the internet, then you have the fear of becoming public figure. Fear of being followed, fear of being watched of your each action online, fear of statcounter being hacked, fear of your e-mail or blog being hacked. But at the end of the day, what matters is not the feeling of having fear, but the strive to still carry on in-spite of those fears. It's ok to have fears, but its an achievement to be Fearless.
I read this quote by Taylor Swift - To me, Fearless is not the absense of fear. It's not being completely unafraid. To me, Fearles 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 something 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.
Sometimes you meet a person in life with whom you sync up so many things in life. Your smiles are linked... Everytime I listen to this song... it reminds me of the days when I loved fearlessly.
Fearless

There's somethin' 'bout the way
The street looks when it's just rained
There’s a glow off the pavement
You walk me to the car
And you know I wanna ask you to dance right there
In the middle of the parking lot
Yeah
We're drivin' down the road
I wonder if you know
I'm tryin' so hard not to get caught up now
But you're just so cool
Run your hands through your hair
Absent mindedly makin' me want you
And I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first
Fearless
And I don't know why but with you I'd dance
In a storm in my best dress
Fearless
So baby drive slow
‘Til we run out of road in this one horse town
I wanna stay right here in this passenger’s seat
You put your eyes on me
In this moment now capture every memory
And I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first
Fearless
And I don't know why but with you I’d dance
In a storm in my best dress
Fearless
Well you stood there with me in the doorway
my hands shake
I'm not usually this way but
You pull me in & I’m a little more brave
It’s the first kiss, it's flawless, really somethin’, it’s fearless.
And I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first
Fearless
And I don't know why but with you I’d dance
In a storm in my best dress
Fearless
How am I to act as if you never came along? How am I supposed to stop thinking about you next second? How am I to delete your name, your number, your memory? I can't do that. I can't un-love you. I thought I did not want to complain, seriously, this is not a complaint anymore. I don't know how the topic being fearless turned into this. So just stopping it right here and now.Fearless
I may promise to hereby love fearlessly for the rest of my life, but promises have always been broken. You were supposed to be "The One" for me. You were supposed to take care of me forever. You were the one who was supposed to make me feel fearless. I had my doubts all along the way, but you always proved me wrong. Then out of the blue, you made me realize that I was correct when I was scared. You lived up to all of of my doubts. It was as if, when I was almost healed, you broke me again. Am I just suppose to move on....to forget? And hope that its for my own good? To spare me? Because I deserve something more? You were the one I cared about. If loneliness and pain is better... then I can say it's getting better day by day.
