Like a car crash

I thought that It would be interesting to write about something and to use metaphors in it. I may not be the best at writing metaphors, but I really do like them. I think that they can be used as good and effective writing tools. I had to think for a while, in order to figure out what I would write about. I think that a good allegory to having your heart broken by somebody or ending a relationship and then relating it to getting into a car accident. From my observations, I see that is true in many ways. Car accidents come in varying degrees. You can come out of a car accident with not a scratch. As with some who end relationships and hardly think a thing of it. Then there are those sorts of car accidents that leave a great deal of damage, trauma, and a totaled car is another outcome of it. This can be related to those people who have come to an end of a relationship, and are suffering a great deal of hurt, confusion, and loss from it. Car accidents take place rather often, as with hurt in relationships. Car accidents are at most times a great surprise to a person. Many times the person really doesn’t even see it coming, and when they do take note of what is about to take place, few people even have time to brace themselves for the impact. And so it is with ending relationships sometimes. Well there is a slight difference, when it comes to a relationship that is on its way to an end, there usually is some sort of sign or indication as to what is about to happen. But then , of course, there are those instances where it comes as a complete surprise, and the person really doesn’t even have the time to brace themselves for the full impact of what is about to take place. After a car accident has taken place, especially when a person has been rear-ended, there is a great deal of pain that takes place in the weeks or months to follow. Sometimes the pain may not really be all that noticeable at first, but in the days that follow, the pain becomes more noticeable and increases in strength. I think that there are similarities between this and the heartache that may follow after a break up. Yes there is the initial shock after a car accident has taken place, and the same can happen when a relationship has come to an end. And then the pain can last for a great while after the break up has taken place. Some car accidents are unavoidable, and many times the other person is the one that is at fault. But careful driving, and a careful selection of the vehicle driven can make accidents less tragic. As with relationships, a careful selection of a boy or girl friend, and being aware of one’s conduct in the relationship can prevent a good thing from coming to an end, and help lessen the pain when a relationship has ended.
