You're Very Annoying, So I Think You're My Type

Alhamdulillah for everything. While it's easy to notice what's lacking, take a moment to see the countless blessings Allah has already placed around you.

What Is a Simile?

Unlike metaphors, similes create a comparison using like and as. Perhaps you’ll recognize this famous example of simile from Forrest Gump: “Life is like a box of chocolates.”

In this case, the reader is more explicitly aware of the direct comparison that’s being made versus a metaphor or analogy. (Remember, a simile is a type of metaphor.) When it comes to simile use in writing, a good rule of thumb is to approach with caution and use similes sparingly.

Similes use the words like or as to compare things—“Life is like a box of chocolates.”

In contrast, metaphors directly state a comparison—“Love is a battlefield.”

They're all important when writing though. Making unconventional comparisons at times using similes and metaphors can add to your writing and make it much more layered and sophesticated. Eg:

His words wrapped themselves around me like Thorny vines of a spiteful plant, no more like the warm embrace of the sun on your skin.

Hope that was somewhat useful and In easy terms! Like, share and follow!

Character idea (free to use)

A therapist for ghosts and lost souls. They come by haunted houses or people being tormented by dead spirits, sit them down on a nice couch and go "Alright let's talk about those abandonment issues shall we?"

And they legitimately help people bc the ghosts get to finally go in peace after therapy and the people haunted get to, well, not be haunted, obviously

maidens if you are going to flee dramatically from my castle in the middle of the night once i reveal my true nature to you please leave your candelabra on the little ledge by the portcullis we are running out of them

Here is my "Get It Together Plan." I use this whenever I feel myself reverting to victim behaviors or my life feels it's falling apart.

every time you want to date someone because you feel sorry for them, just imagine your descendants summoning you every single time you think your soul is about to rest because they won’t let the fact that you married someone horrendously facially challenged and your angelic looks did not, in fact, balance out as you thought it would
