Zit happens

zits are like the devil's most clever tool.
 (have an open metaphorical mind throughout this post, it'll help.)
stick with me here. one day, you awake. and you dont know anything is going to be wrong. you feel normal- blood is pumping, lungs are breathing, eyes are blinking...the basics of a good day already covered. you lay in bed for a minute like you usually do, subconsciously aware that the bed is the safe zone, and you do not yet have to face the challenges of life. you milk this safe zone time for all its worth, but eventually.. we all have to get up and enter the unsafe zone. (metaphor numero uno)
 
Morning routines for hygienically sound persons usually involve a trip to the bathroom to cover the whole teeth brushing, deodorant applying, and hair brushing responsibility. but people, most bathrooms involve mirrors. and sooner or later...we all have to take a look at ourselves. (i didnt really mean for this one to happen, but it did so...metaphor 2!) and sometimes... right in the place where you least expected or wanted... there is a zit. a big zit. one that inflicts fear and emotional trauma to everyone it comes in contact with.
 
zits can just sliiiidddee into your life and ruin it. (metaphoorrrrr!! 3!!) like i said, its the devils smallest but most clever form of temptation. NO ONE is in a christ like mood when they discover a zit on their face. soo, you go about your day. its not the end of the world. but its the end of your chances for that day to be a good one. you find that you didnt say goodmorning  to someone. because your "zit" has made it a sucky morning. so for someone to say goodmorning is like slapping you right in the zit. you didnt smile at the hobo with the sign specifically saying that even a smile will help. because... just a smile will NOT help you. therefore, it should not help hobo guy.
 
and its not like you dont try to get rid of the zit. who wants to be in a zitty mood all the time? (metaphor.... phor!:))))) you try washing it off, applying all sorts of lame remedies, reading and following the extremely obvious directions on the back of the foul smelling acne cream bottle. but nothing works. you are stuck with the zit for who knows how long. it could be a day, could be 3 years, either way... you better just deal with the zit at hand.
 
profound quote i both enjoy and exjoy thinking about: "if things are bad, don't worry..they'll change. if things are good..dont worry they'll change."
 
zit happens. it just matters about how you deal with it. (metaphor cincuenta) but one day soon, everyone, you will wake up and your zit will be gone. :) and you'll enjoy life again. and  when someone says goodmorning, you'll say something really cool and intelligent sounding like "isnt it?" and then you'll just feel ridiculously awesome and zit-free.
next time you get a zit. you can always call me. i got the best acne meds in the world.
 
... that was metaphor 6 and also quite possibly the most metaphorical and profoundly incredible thing ever said. :) :) :) i feel so cool right now.
