Strange Analogies

When you fall down and you scrape your knee, its going to sting quite a bit no matter what the size of a scrape you get. Some will sting longer and harder than others and not heal as quickly, but the pain will still be there. Sometimes when you fall you get a scrape you don't notice as first. You'll go about your day like nothing happened. It wont be till you pick yourself back up and look down will you realize what just happened. Only when you see the scrape does it finally start to sting.

Now a band-aid will help for a little while. It will keep the scrape clean. It might make you feel a bit better, like everything will be okay. Though after a wearing it for awhile that band-aid starts fall off. It doesn't seem to stick as well anymore, but the scrape still hurts, it doesn't feel healed yet. You don't want to take the band-aid off yet, you you still want it kept safe and clean. With out that band-aid there you start to pay attention to the scrape and it gets in the way of doing things. With out the band-aid you keep noticing how cold it feels with out it.

Then sometimes band-aids wont come off. They stay stuck to you so long that you want that band-aid to come off. You hate it there, it's bugging you. People keep pointing it out, asking you what happened. You don't like the attention. Maybe the band-aid starts to get itchy, and you just want to rip it off, but you're scared too. You want to rip it off but you know if you do it'll hurt. Like you can just tell that because the band-aids been there so long the scab has grown into it. When you pull that band-aid off the scab is just going to come with it, and your scrape will just sting and hurt all over again. You can just pull the band-aid off slowly either, you'll just drag out the pain and you'll start to notice all the little hairs that are stuck too and its going to hurt even more. That band-aid just has to come off, its driving you nuts, even if you have to put on a new band-aid just for a little while.

The best way to make a scrape feel better is to stick it in the ocean. Let the cold salt water wash it and in no time you'll start to feel better.
