The bell rings, announcing Round One. I enter the ring. The fight has begun. I can feel the building tension. Boy, I’m fighting for your attention. I put on my boxing gloves....

"I'd wanted to stay on that porch with him until the sun shone bright on both of us, but i didn't. I stood up and walked down the steps. I'd rather chase the sun than wait for it." from I am the Messanger by Markus Zusak.

&quot;It&#039;s better to be an optimist who is sometimes wrong than a<br /> pessimist who is always right.&quot;<br /> &quot;When we are dreaming alone it is only a dream. When we are<br /> dreaming with others, it is the beginning of reality.&quot;

Men only think of their past right before their death, as if they were searching frantically for proof that they were alive.<br /> <br /> Just because I&#039;m giving up , doesn&#039;t mean i don&#039;t care. It means I&#039;m tired of giving my everything and ending up with nothing.

. To me, &quot;FEARLESS&quot; is not the absence of fear. It&#039;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&#039;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 &hellip; even though every time you&#039;ve tried before, you&#039;ve lost. It&#039;s FEARLESS to have that someday things will change. FEARLSS is having the courage to say goodbye to someone who only hurts you, even if you can&#039;t breathe without them. I think it&#039;s FEARLESS to fall for your best friend, even though he&#039;s in love with someone else. And when someone apologizes to you enough times for things they&#039;ll never stop doing, I think it&#039;s FEARLESS to top believing them. It&#039;s FEARLESS to say, &quot;you&#039;re NOT sorry&quot;, 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 &hellip; That&#039;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&#039;s why I write these songs. Because I think love is FEARLESS
