In high school, when you can't find the courage to kiss someone, you play spin the bottle. In adulthood, when you can't find the courage to kiss someone, you download an app. Isn’t it ironic that we leave some of life’s most important decisions to chance? As the soda spun to me, I couldn't help but wonder: Are all our sophisticated dating apps just Spin the Bottle 2.0—with Code instead of Coke? Maybe grown-ups in the 21st Century are just scared high schoolers with better haircuts, hiding behind phones like we once hid behind party games. We poke and swipe and like, too scared to say hello. Because the only thing scarier than love is failing at it. So even when we think we might have matched The One, we keep swiping—running scared from love for another seven minutes in heaven. Twenty years after high school, we'd still rather surrender to fate than risk rejection. As I left the party, i had a revelation from the revolutions. Maybe I'm too old to Spin the Bottle, and it's time to give courage a whirl. After all, the scariest Dare is to live your Truth. #CarrieDragshaw
