The fascination with metaphors came when I was 9 years old. I never realized how I can explain how I feel so accurately before then... How incredible is it that you can compare something so minute to something out of this world. You can compare to ideas, feelings, and even Heaven to an object that beforehand seemed so unworthy. Everything is a metaphor in my mind. My clothes, glasses, computer - they are all metaphors to something for me. But the most important one of all is myself. I am a metaphor of love. I seem so unworthy to that comparison, I know. But I am humble when it comes to my success... I am patient when it's needed most. I am not proud, I am not rude, and hold no grudges. I am kind, hopeful, trustful and trusting to even the most chaotic of strangers. I protect my family and friends and do whatever I can to make sure they are always happy...
And for that, I like to believe that I can correctly compare myself to Love...
"love is patient. love is kind. it does not envy. it does not boast, it is not proud. it is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. it always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves."
--1 corinthians 13:4-7
