EMOTIONAL METAPHORS.

What if emotions appeared like metaphors?

I could be with my best friends in the universe and sunflowers could pop-up around me, because I would be thinking “being with you is like sitting in a bed of sunflowers all day”.

Or  I could sit with my dad in the kitchen and all of a sudden he would be in a super hero costume, because sometimes I think of my dad as a super hero, because he's really smart, and courageous, and selfless.

Or hearts would have popped out of my throat when I broke the heart of someone I really loved, but knew that a future wasn't possible with, because the entire time it felt like my heart was flying through my throat.

Or every time I stare at the stars I could shrink to the size of an ant realizing just how tiny and insignificant I am in comparison to the big-wide-universe.

Or  I could feel the clouds on my feet every time I accomplish something huge, because it always feels like walking on air.

Or the next time I'm walking happily down the street with someone I really like, I might think to myself,  "Wow I feel like we’re dancing in an empty hall with this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0Yh_tfyU8A playing in the background and then it would magically start playing and we'd be in the center of a dance floor dancing alone. 


It would be  really great if emotions showed up with their metaphors, because then we could show people how we really feel instead of just depending on words to express ourselves. Some people aren't really that great with words but they do feel a lot - those people should have the same ability to express themselves as anyone

But I guess it’s a good thing that emotions don’t appear as metaphors, because then people wouldn’t have to use their imaginations as much and metaphors would disappear, because nothing would be like anything, everything just would be.
