In the game of Truth or Dare, you get to choose. However, there’s no choice here. I want you all in. You must embody honesty and devotion for all rounds.
Let’s begin with truth. Do you know her? How well? Do you like her? How much? Do you desire to be her? Why or why not?
She loves. She hates. She smiles. She cries. She rises. She falls. She’s bold. She’s shy. She’s strong. She’s soft. She’s a ball of beautiful chaos.
Can’t you see her? She’s human. She needs you to breathe. She needs you to be alive–full of life. She needs you to stand tall. She needs you to accept her wins and overcome her losses. She needs you to show her the love you show everyone else. She needs you to pick up the pieces and become her masterpiece. She needs you to own her mistakes. She needs you to push through the growing pains. She doesn’t need you to run away and lose all she has fought for. She doesn’t need you to trap yourself into being another ‘her’. She needs you to recognize who she is. She needs you to set her legacy ablaze. She needs you to walk in her light. She needs you.
Look at her. You see flaws, but you don’t understand they’re her beauty marks. Don’t you know they make her stand out? They’re evidence of a queen who’s fought battles and won. They’re evidence of an icon who embraces the art of her body–its shape and hues and height and width. Gracefully paint her canvas with love, truth, and kindness.
I dare you to stand up for her. Dare to do what it takes to get where she needs to be. Dare to rise above the criticism. Dare to change. Dare to be the girl boss. Dare to break generational curses. Dare to demand respect. Dare to set boundaries. Dare to do what they say she can’t.
This is her. This is what she craves. The world needs you to be her. It needs you to unveil how it’s done, how to face truths and become dares. Look forward with your head held high. You are her.
She’s a visionary. She’s legendary. She knows her worth. She’s on her own path. Keep up with her. She’ll take you to far places. She’s a statement. Personify her truth.
Do you remember her–the her you dreamed of being? She’s ready to unleash. Go ahead and let #HERszn begin.
Fear not. She who dares to be her is fearfully and wonderfully made.
