The Meritous Medal for Metaphorical Musings

(from the chat)

Sarah

Why is life sucky?

David

Just a hundred little things all weighing me down.

Sarah

I do not discount the bum-out power of the little things.

Care to share a few? school? life? boys?

David

Yeah, all of those.

Sarah

I hear ya.

David

Drama class scheduling issues. Had to drop a show. Roommate is back. Desk is messy. No life plan.

Also, I'm hungry.

Sarah

Well, your roomie is a hermit and I'll clean your desk.

Life plans. those…I dunno.

I get bent out of shape about that all the time and lately I'm just not letting myself.

David

I'm trying that, but... I wanna figure out where I'm going in life. Even if it's just short-term.

Sarah

Life is like a box of chocolates.

Some of it is really awesome,

David

Some of it is nuts,

Sarah

And some of it is like, digustingly gross.

David

And if you try everything, you get fat and bad skin.

Sarah

EITHER WAY, you gotta finish the box somehow.

And if you don’t want to get fat and have bad skin, you go through it slowly

David

Though there's always another layer beneath.

Sarah

I'm GETTING to the other layer, haha.

David

Heh. I’ll wait.

Sarah

You don't wanna rush through it, is the point.

David

Yeah. But you don't want to just... stop moving.

Sarah

And when you finish one part (aka the top layer) the second part will still be somewhat surprising

And once you start that box, you can't regift it.

So even if it sucks, try to enjoy it.

Even a little.

David

…

Sarah rocks at metaphors.

I thus award you the Meritous Medal for Metaphorical Musings.
