Another Metaphor: Relationships

Ive had tons of relationships. A relationship doesn't have to mean a boy and a girl who are "Facebook official". relationships are with anyone you're acquainted with. Hell, you an have a relationship with someone without even knowing it. The people who act like they're so perfect are the ones who think relationships are as easy as swimming in the kiddie pool. You control your direction. you set the pace. your head is always above water. and if someone pees in the pool, it's okay. because they have filters. I get that it isn't the best logic, but it makes sense. many people agree with it. but it's wrong.

relationships in life are like a wild horse. they're going to run from you. and to catch a good one isn't easy. even when you do catch it it's still going to fight you. You can begin to tame it and love it. Even though it's wild you don't care because it's spirit and fire is beautiful. You eventually can get on top of it (no sexual reference here, seriously) and can learn to ride it. It transforms into this amazing but energetic being and you begin to become one with it. But just because you took the horse out of the wild doesn't mean you took the wild out of the horse. You're flying smoothly and sailing over every obstacle in the way. But all of a sudden, you hit the ground. You're completely shocked. What happened? Could you not get over one of those obstacles? Were you going to fast? Did it take an unexpected turn? you get up and brush yourself off. You look for your mount. You spot it. But someone else already caught it for you. And it's so far away. You can't bear to take it back. It's easier to return to the stable empty handed you think. Until you realize what you lost. You run back to it through all the pain blind from the tears. But someone else has already corrupt the beautiful thing you once had. And you'll never have one quite like that. It's gone... forever.
