Forrest Gump did not famously say that life is like a box of
chocolates; in fact his mother did. And she was on to something good; however she
might better have informed her much beloved son that the boxes themselves, much
like the metaphor that they represent, vary immensely.
For example, your box may be filled with
delectable, creamy fruit-filled delights, luxurious truffles, and crunchy
buttery treats, whereas MY box contains boring caramels, chewy nougat (gross),
and cheap maraschino cherries wrapped in sub-par “chocolate flavoured candy”. And this is where it gets really cruel… they throw one or two butter creams in there,
forcing consumption of 22 sugar-laden, totally-not-worth-it, garbage, just to
locate the gems.
The moral of this story is that life is unfair Forrest, life
is just damn unfair. And for the
majority of us - enjoy the butter creams, you work hard for em’.
Oh, and I wish you all a lovely, butter cream day.
