METAPHORS AND SHIT~~
Okay so there's a paragraph in Paper Towns that makes me think so much and I just love it.
"But there are a thousand ways to look at it: maybe the strings break, or maybe our ships sink, or maybe we're grass-- our roots so interdependent that no one id dead as long as someone is still alive. We don't suffer from a shortage of metaphors, is what I mean. But you have to be careful which metaphor you choose, because it matters. If you choose the strings, then you're imagining a world in which you can become irreparable broken. If you choose the grass, you're saying that we are all infinitely interconnected, that we can use the root systems not only to understand one another but to become one another. The metaphors have implications."
Which is basically my thought entirely. The metaphor or simile or comparison you use describes what you think of a thing at the moment and how you wish/think what the outcome will be.
For instance if a really good friend got back from vacation and you said "I felt like a Hermione without my Ron" that means you're implying that he's the RON to your HERMIONE and you're meant for each other or something.
Like MAYBE I'm taking things people say way too literally but, yeah. Metaphors and similes and comparisons matter so damn much.
So be careful kids, when making metaphors. You don't want to fry my brain over thinking things.
