Taboo-Angel

[Credits to Reika]

Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get. Who came up with that anyway? Life is NOT a box of chocolates. The only way life is like chocolates is if it's a boxful of the nasty flavored ones that everyone avoids until it's the only one left. People know what they're going to get. They plan on it, and then act surprised when it finally comes around. Life isn't about surprises, it's about routine. Getting through the drudgery of repeating the same events over again. At different periods of life, it shifts from school, to work, to friends, until it eventually lands on retirement. Just plan on throwing in some car accidents, heartbreaking relationships, possible marriage and/or divorce, debt, taxes, and death. There's your life. Maybe you'll be one out of the 100 million people where something rare and freaky happens...like you stumble on some billion-dollar artifact, win a contest, or somehow be placed in the celebrity limelight. Still the same, you'll face most everything everyone else has to. And don't forget pain. No one escapes bone crunching, flesh eating, soul ripping pain.
There's one thing I don't understand from the whole 'box of chocolates.' What's with the similes? Why are people always needing to compare trite emotions and ideals to something tangible and existing? And since everyone has their own personal opinions abut those ideals, you can compare anything to everything.
For example: I could compare love to dirt. Depending on how you treat it, it can be both rich and have the possibility of growing new things, or it can be stale and useless. Ooooh, romantic. There's no need for similes. Life is routine. Simple, but truthful. The funny thing is: people like the fact that life is about routine. They love that they can predict just about everything and know what's going to happen next. Unforseeable change terrifies them. Even if it's for the better.
Which brings me to the reason why I'm writing this...absurdly long argument. Reality is boring. So with each fresh tap of the keyboard, I'm going to transfigure myself and my life to something more exciting. A story of my life that I would rather live in. I'm sure you want a name, but names [especially mine] are easily forgettable...and easily distorted. But I bet you want to call me by something. If you really need something to refer by, call me Taboo. Because my whole life seems to be religion's mistake. So they tried to block me out, push me out, burn me down.
Whoops, looks like they failed.
