When life gives you lemons, make grape juice, then watch everyone wonder how you did it!


pimples are like life-
when you're first born, your face is clean
when you're first born, life is easy
pimples don't start coming until pre-teen years. usually.
real problems don't come until pre-teen years. usually.
when you have dirty hands and touch your face, pimples are formed
when you put your hands where they don't belong, problems are formed
when you touch the pimple it gets dirtier and bigger
when you try to solve a problem, it gets harrier
when you pop a pimple, it bursts
when you pop a friend's bubble, they burst
but if you wash your face daily, it is cleaner
if you strive to keep out of trouble, you stop the trouble before it starts
if you resist the temptation to touch the pimple, it doesn't scar you
if you resist the temptation to agitate the problem, it doesn't scar you... as much
ignoring the pimple won't make it go away
just like ignoring problems doesn't make them disappear
cleaning the pimple does
just like changing your habits cleans up the problem
the smallest things affect the biggest things
from simple matters like pimples
to the big things of daily life.

well, ignoring problems isn't usually a good idea - and nor is ignoring pimples!

I would have used a comparison of pimple-remover to trying to solve a problem, personally.



It's very creative, though, and I enjoyed reading it.
