  • X can be....

    Work can be...like a frustrating exercise in mountain-climbing. You tell yourself "Keep pushing, you're almost to the top, it's down-hill from here!" and then you find yourself wanting to take a nap about 100 yards from the top. Then when you get to the top, you find that there's actually a LARGER mountain behind it that you have to climb.

    Being fat can be...like having a spare bedroom filled with clutter...sure, you could do some cool things if that bedroom was clean, but you don't really NEED that spare bedroom, and you just shut the door when company comes over. About the only time you really want to clean it is when someone else makes you feel guilty about it.

    Dating can be...like waiting for rain to hit your lawn. You really don't want your grass to die, and you will water it if you have to. But you keep on putting it off, hoping for the best, and knowing that one day your grass will be dead and you wish you had done something about it sooner.

    Family can be...like having a guard dog in your house. He's big and cumbersome and sure he has a bad habit of taking a dump in the wrong places. But when it's 3AM and you hear an odd sound outside, you really wish they were around and you forget the little things.

    It can be...your turn. What analogy or metaphor runs through your head?
