Quote of the Day by Taylor Swift: Taylor Swift offers a refreshingly honest take on what it means to be fearless. For her, fearlessness isn't the absence of fear or a state of complete confidence, it's something far more human. It means carrying fears and doubts, sometimes plenty of them, and choosing to move forward regardless. In her view, true courage isn't about feeling nothing; it's about acting in spite of everything that scares you.
