Fish in the Sea

"There are plenty of fish in the sea." - An idiot

This quote is a beautiful quote. There is so much to be learned from it, such as that no matter how heartbreaking a situation may be, or how perfect the one we loved and lost truly is, there are plenty of people to choose from in the grand scheme of things.

But you know what? This analogy sucks!

Yes it makes sense, and yes it's very true and all that, but what happens if you hate fish?! I have yet to touch a fish, and I plan to keep it that way for a very long time. By saying "plenty of fish in the sea," I'm already turned off from the whole concept!

Wouldn't it be more efficient to say, "There are plenty of jelly beans in the bag," or "There are lots of squirrels in North America"?! The answer to that question is YES!

Fish are scaly little creatures with unblinking eyes and gross little fish lips. Jelly beans are delicious treats that come in a multitude of different flavors and sizes and squirrels just make people happy.

The moral of this blog post is that everybody loves jelly beans and squirrels, but it takes a special person to love a fish.

Why today was awesome: I truly learned who my real friends are.
