"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 freshman 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 tried before, you've lost. It's fearless to have faith that someday things will change. Fearless is having the courage to say good-bye to someone who only hurts you ,even if you can't breath 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 then walk away. I think that loving someone despite what other people think is fearless. I think allowing to let yourself 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."

Just another reason why I am a huge fan of Taylor Swift...

Man, she's pretty smart for being so young. Living in spite of those things that scare you to death and having faith that someday things will change. Those were the two lines that got me. That and falling madly in love again even after you've been hurt.
She really is! This whole quote is from an entry she added onto her album thank-you letter... I loved it after I read it. It really makes you think....
