MY DAD ONCE TOLD ME

June 9, 2009

My dad once said “life is about falling; living is about getting back up.” He told me this when I was so mad because nothing was going right for me, me and him talked it over and he said that its not going to go right for you, you have to make it that way. And I finally figured out what he meant by that. He meant that life is not just going to be you want something to happen it does, no; life is about wanting something to happen and getting the guts to make it happen. There is a song by Taylor swift called “Fearless” in an interview they asked her why she would write a song about never being afraid, this was her answer…

“The song is not about never being afraid it’s about being fearless. Fearless is being terrified. But jumping anyway. Fearless is living in spite of those things that scare you to death. Fearless is having the courage to say goodbye to someone who only hurts you, but you can’t breathe without. 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. Fearless is having faith that someday things will change. Fearless is telling that special guy that you like him; it’s learning how to deal with the silence after you tell the guy not what he might say. Fearless is allowing yourself to cry on the bathroom floor.”

I don’t think fearless is that, to me fearless is making a mistake and learning from it, it’s getting nervous around your crush but talking to him anyway. It loves someone no matter what age you are. It’s dancing in the rain. It’s not caring who’s watching you act strange. It’s not missing an opportunity when it comes. It’s not getting mad of a C on a test. You see fearless is not having any fears; it’s will to look past them.
