In "Dare You To" by Katie McGarry, the character Beth reflects on her feelings of being overwhelmed by life's challenges. She compares herself to a storm that is continuous and forceful. This imagery suggests that while she may appear strong overall, there is a struggle in managing the specific difficulties she encounters. Her desire to grasp and control these challenges parallels her experience of them slipping away, highlighting a sense of frustration and loss.

This metaphor emphasizes the complexity of emotions and situations Beth faces. Despite her efforts to hold onto the individual aspects of her turmoil, they constantly evades her grasp, portraying the conflict between wanting control and experiencing chaos. This creates a powerful narrative about resilience and the often-disheartening nature of trying to hold onto fleeting moments or problems.
