You know what I love? A metaphor.

Oh, yum, yum, yum.

That is like a crispy cream donut for the brain.

That is like an Arby's Curly Fry for the brain.

That is like an everything bagel for the brain. That is like a

scoop of mint chocolate chip ice cream a little bit melted. It's not like super hard, like

you can easily get your spoon into it for the brain.

Yum, a metaphor, yum, okay? Yummy yum. Yum. Yum. Yum.

And my favorite metaphor this week is the lens that we view life through the lens.

Obviously we're not actually looking through a lens at life.

I mean we're looking through our eyes which kind of have lenses in

them in one way or another but today we're going to be discussing the

metaphorical lens that we use to view life through.

When I say lens, I'm referring to the perspective that we live our lives by,

our attitude towards life, our general point of view towards life. I am loving this metaphor right now because it's something I'm really working on.

I think it's something I will work on for the rest of my life. Making sure that I'm looking

through life as a whole, but also individual situations through the proper lens, through the best lens possible.

And I know that this ship might sound obvious, like,

yeah, Emma, we need to look at life through a positive lens.

Yes, Emma, we need to look at life through an accurate lens. Blah, blah, blah,

blah, that's important. Yes, I know it is obvious and I know it is important.

However, as with most obvious things, they can sneakily fall out of our control, and if not properly maintained, they can deviously ruin our quality of life.
