Thoughts, Rants, Opinions, Tales, and Musings of a Princess.
Make A Stranger's Day
Posted 12-14-2016 at 09:40 PM by The Slutty Princess
As many of you know, I had stopped taking and completing dares when I went off to college in August. Every now and then, I attempt a few dares but only if they are very mild, tame and have a positive influence on either myself or the people around me. I look back at some of the dares that I have done and even though I hate dwelling or regretting choices in my life, I sometimes question why I chose to partake in a few of the dares that I did. That being said, most of the dares I greatly enjoyed!
Anyway, I was recently dared by a fellow getdarer to leave a few naughty notes in the books in the campus library. I have been saddened by the ruthless murder, rape, and forced suicides of the men, women, and children following the besiege of Aleppo by the Syrian military and this motivated me to write a few nice and heartwarming messages in the books, rather than just naughty, teasing messages.
Since I work at the library, I am well aware of the books that are commonly read the most and I figured it would be best if I were to leave the notes in those books. Using cute pink post-it notes and a blue sharpie, I wrote various messages on the notes and stuck it on the inside cover of some books. I tried to keep the naughty messages tame so I wouldn’t get in trouble! The messages included:
“You’re beautiful.”
“I just want you to be happy...and naked.”
“What color is your underwear? My guess is blue.
”
“Spread love as thick as you’d spread nutella.”
“You have a beautiful smile.”
"You are perfect in every way imaginable."
"Always remember how much you are loved."
"Don't worry, you look incredible today!"
"You're the best!"
"Stop stressing, everything will be okay."
"Your hair is gorgeous!"
"I'm wet just thinking about you!"
"It only takes one to inspire an entire generation."
I guess my overall goal of this "dare" was to hopefully have someone find them and make them smile or brighten up their day. I will also check if anyone actually responds! If they do, I'll post it in the comments!
I'd love it if others would join me and leave a few sweet, caring anonymous notes somewhere (or naughty if you prefer). A simple note can make someone's day!
Also, because I am feeling generous today, for every comment this post gets (including mine), I'll donate $10 to handinhandforsyria.org, which provides for the families attempting to flee Aleppo.
Love you all,

A very thoughtful twist to a naughty dare! Did anyone tell you that you are awesome today?Posted 12-14-2016 at 10:39 PM by thewilds

Awesome dare you turned it into. I love the idea. Sometimes a simple compliment makes a single person's day or even helps them change their life for the better. You saved the world in a very sane way.

I am glad you all liked the dare and I hope a few of you will carry it out!
I checked the books the other day while I was working and all the notes were still in place and there had been no replies. I have traveled home for the holiday break and it may be quite awhile before I check the books again but I'll make sure to update you lovely people, if needed!
Again, thank you for the overwhelming support! Yes, Cstelle, the website is www.handinhandforsyria.org.uk, thanks for posting it! If others would like to donate, that'd be awesome! As for now, thank you all for commenting!
Love,
