I thought of this while being with Sarah and
trying to explain myself on a topic. I turned out
with a really good analogy for relationships just
on the spot.
A relationship is sorta like a cake. What
you do physically with the person is like the
icing. All your feelings, your closeness, and
everything that goes on inside your minds is the
cake.
Many people settle, if they do not want to go
through the trouble or time of making a cake will
just eat icing. Some people will just eat icing
because they want to. If you only eat icing you
are really missing the whole point of a cake.
As implied by the name, cake, a cake is
mostly the actual cake substance that is inside
the icing. A cake can be completely beautiful
with no icing at all. Angel food cake is
wonderful, yet, there is no icing at all. Most
cakes do have icing though.
Sometimes, the amount of icing does not
neccisarily correspond with the actual size of the
cake. If you have a small cake about the size of
a coin and you have the same amount of icing as a
cake that is huge the cake will no taste very
good. The same thing goes if you have a cake that
is only an inch wide. Most cakes like this do not
last very long and they are gone before you know
it.
Most people would agree that the best cake is
a good size cake with a thin layer of icing around
it. Most of what you eat is the substance of the
cake but there is just a little bit of icing to
put some more spunk into it.
Some people also like cakes that are
absolutely huge. There are human size cakes and
cakes that are a few metres wide. These cakes are
amazing. Even if they only have icing covering
the corners or the sides everyone agrees that
these are absolutely the best type of cake. It
lasts so long and can satisfy you over and over
again and never stop. When people look at these
cakes they do not care about the icing but they
are just awestricken by the actual cake.
The cakes of relationships are magical, in a
way. All of the cakes that I described are
relationships at different stages. If someone eats
only the icing off the cake the cake will continually
get smaller and smaller, as the amount of icing wishes
to stay the same so cake is sacrificed but if someone
eats as much actual cake as they possibly can the cake
does not get smaller. It gets larger in a direct
positive relation to how much was eaten.
People love to eat cake so that is why
relationships that have been going on for longer have
larger cakes. People have been able to eat for a long
time, and therefore eating a lot of cake. Some people
are able to eat more cake at one time than others and
people can work together to eat the cake. When people
work together and spend a lot of time eating cake, not
icing, then the cake can become huge in a small amount
of time.
The reason why cakes that are small with lots of
icing do not last is because they do not taste very
good so people do not eat. When people do not eat
cake, most of the time they continue to eat icing. In
the end, people have no more cake and just end up
eating icing. Once the icing runs out they go in
search of another cake, not more icing.
I urge all of you to look for just a cake. If
you try to put more icing on the cake than comes
naturally the cake will not benifit at all. Do not be
afraid of Angel Food cake. Afterall, that is my
favorite type of cake.
