I dare you

I dare you…
I dare you to look past those hazel eyes, the beaming smile and sweet girl look
I dare you to look beyond yesterday and today and forget about tomorrow and not think of the present
I dare you to not just laugh because something’s funny but because sadness is an inevitable and happiness a consequent.
I challenge you to care and look at fear in the eye and smile. Embrace it and overcome it before it overcomes you and leaves you so paralyzed that by just not doing anything, you did everything you never should have.
I challenge you to be honest with yourself and forget about others.
I’ve caught myself far too many times blurting something out to later think, “oh, fudge brownies” and though I end up thinking that at the end all I can end up thinking afterwards is “at least I got it off my chest”
Maybe I speak too much, say too much, care too much think and overanalyze to an extreme, yet that is what makes me who I am.
Perhaps if I cared too little it would make things so much more simple, but who wants to live a simple, easy mediocre life without ever running a risk of making a fool out of themselves? Not me. Why think of things as mistakes rather than discoveries of how so wrong things can go? And how so strong or weak you really are when in hot waters.
Diamonds are made under excruciating circumstances and tons of pressure; it is in the hardest and most weak moments that we discover our strengths. We are stronger than what we give ourselves credit and weaker than what we are willing to admit; yet we never seize to amaze one another.
Well behaved women have never made history and I will make history. Whether by helping write a history book or being in it by my accomplishments or blunders but somewhere inside of one my name shall be in it.
