Fearless

"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 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. 
because i think love is fearless"
- Taylor Swift.


Life is painful and everything worthwhile comes at a cost. But we are all so lucky and we don’t even know it. You may have just gotten your heart broken; you may miss someone an incredible amount – but think about how lucky you are to have someone that amazing to miss. You’re lucky because no matter how much pain you are going through; that’s life. You’re living. The people who are living life without pain are the ones who are missing out. They’re the people who shy away from opportunity, hide from love, and most of all ignore their own feelings. They won’t look back and see a life full of broken hearts and scrapes and bruises, but they won’t look back and have the memories either. You may be in pain now but that pain won’t last forever, and once you move on you can put yourself out there again. As much as it hurts you won’t find happiness hiding behind closed doors. If you want a change in your life, you need to do something new. Don’t sit around and wait for something to happen to you, go out and make it happen.
What is it you want? Why aren't you going for it? Chose today to live; live to the fullest because you have no idea how much longer you’ll have. Every day is a new opportunity to change your dream into your reality.  Why wait? Go out and be fearless today

  1. I definitely agree with that idea of fearless, and I think it's kind of like if people are going out and doing things that scare them, or they aren't afraid to make mistakes every so often then they're the ones growing in the end. They're the ones gaining the life experience. They're the ones living like you said. They'll know how to handle things in their future, they can make decisions based on past experiences, they can live.. because living is all about learning and growing in yourself. Without making mistakes and taking chances you don't grow or learn about yourself. You have to take your fears and be honest with yourself, show your strength.

  2. I really like this, I feel like so many people with rather live their life without any pain aswell, but thats what life and love is. When you love someone you have to open yourself up to being hurt by them. People need to seize the day and have fun with it. My brother told me not to go to Mexico this summer because it was dangerous, but everywhere has a degree of danger and you can't fear everything.
