I DARE YOU TO LIVE

Sam, I’m aware that what I know from life is told having a cup of coffee, that it is understood having a drink and it is forgotten having a couple, but there is something I would like to remind you:

WAKE UP…breathe, look, hear, touch…

Yes, you are here…every minute of your life is yours; and if you can read what I’m writing here is because you are lucky for being born in the hunter part of the world.

STAND UP…smell, watch, listen, feel…

The World is out there, waiting for you to decide if it eats you or if you eat it.

And decide quickly, because Life is made up of time, and if you lose it, you will lose Life too.

If you decide to eat it, I’ll remind you that Life is a synonym of fight, taking into account everything that this entails. So, I dare you to wake up, to stand up, to move…to take a look at the mirror and face your reality…

I DARE YOU TO SEE THE WORLD THROUGH THE CORRECT LENSES, AND TO HATE IT

I dare you to watch all the homeless on the street

I dare you to see how we destroy the world and to fear for those who will live its consequences

I dare you to see children with old features

I dare you to love some people, to hate others and to see how they all die

I dare you to be betrayed, and to criticize it

I dare you to betray, and to see how much of a hypocrite you were

I dare you to be disappointed, and to feel bad about it

I dare you to disappoint, and to feel worse

I dare you to be afraid of everything, even to be afraid of yourself.

I dare you to fall down…

I DARE YOU TO SEE THE WORLD THROUGH THE CORRECT LENSES, AND TO LOVE IT

I dare you to learn from those who have reached their goals because they’ve fought

I dare you to see how, despite of everything, the breaking dawn is still free, and to smile

I dare you to watch two elderly people looking each other with the same love of 50 years ago, and to be deeply moved

I dare you to get wherever you get, and to be proud of who you are.

I dare you to love, and to be loved in return

I dare you to trust, and having it been worthwhile

I dare you to be trusted, and to know how valuable you are

I dare you to laugh until you cry, and to cry until you laugh, sooner or later

I dare you to lift yourself up from the floor…

And to all that things that Life is… as a bitch, as a goddess…

But, if you decide it eats you, I’ll remind you Death is a synonym of peace, it’s easy…it is the same as letting the world devour you. So, Sam, I dare you to take a gun and pull the trigger…

You cannot, can you? Hence, LIVE, and do it right this time. How? I don’t know how to live either, I’m just improvising.

But, from the little I know from life, I can tell you that the secret is not to stop, to know who you are, always be yourself, and to have someone who loves you because of it… So that when the last day of your existence comes, you will take a look behind and, watching it all, say: “Oh, my God, what a wonderful life”… and, only then, PEACE.
