So I was having a discussion with a work friend of mine today over coffee and a cigarette. We were talking about relationships and metaphors and stuff.
He likened a relationship to digging a hole.
See when you start a relationship, there you and your tools and your shovel and you start to explore and build a foundation (i.e. digging)
Then eventually the hole gets bigger and bigger until you fit inside it and eventually come to the realization that it might be a bit difficult getting out. At this point you gotta figure whether you keep digging, claw your way out kicking and screaming, or get comfy and stick around a while.....
And once a relationship ends, you're out of the hole, but you left your tools and shovel (read aspects of relationship bonds and things in yourself you connect to the other person) in there and you're standing outside of a once comfortable place that is now just a hole with nothing to fill it.
My mind was blown a little bit so I thought I'd pass that on.
In other news I got my very own christmas miracle, albeit a few days early.
So long story short and sparing the details, my iphone got dropped in the toilet. All I will say is that the water in the toilet WAS clean.
It stopped working and scared the crap out of me. But after a period of 3 hours and numerous glitches with the phone, everything was back to normal, all speakers working and everything.
So today is a good day.
