Metaphor of life
Ahhh, it has been such a nice long break I don't intend to stop but I suddenly got this inspiration so.. TADA (: Nonetheless, enjoy. :D
'Argh! Life sucks! It so freaking screwed up!' I screamed, tugging at my blond locks, clearly frustrated. There were so many problems going on in ORB and I was just about to explode, even Kisaka didn't want to come near me. I banged my fist onto the table angrily, truthfully, I didn't know what was making me so angry.. Was it the problems coming up? Or the fact that I just couldn't handle them? Taking in a deep breath, I got ready to start screaming at the top of my lungs but just then a gentle knock resounded from the door. Looking up, I was just about to hurl out all sorts of words at the person, only to find two gentle emerald eyes staring straight at me.
'Now what's wrong?' He asked, his voice seeming so reassuring and calm.
'Life is being shitty again' I sighed, whenever I was with him, I couldn't bring myself to lie to him, no matter how much I wanted to.
'Shitty huh? If that's your metaphor of life, You won't go very far…'
'No another lecture please…'
He laughed softly, despite my reply, I wanted him to carry on, because his words always seemed to make sense and make me feeling better again, just like a candle in the night, leading my towards the correct path.
'Let's just say… Different people have their own perspective of life. Some think of life as a roller coaster, with its ups and downs. Some think of life as a court, where justice will always prevail. Whereas others may think of it as a garden, where you reap whatever you sow. Some may think of life as a classroom, where you learn new things everyday. Whereas for me, I think life is a journey, sometimes we travel too fast to take in the scenery. Sometimes its better to take life slowly, enjoying the scenery around us. Since life is a journey, why not seat back and enjoy the ride?'
'… I guess, I agree'
'If you think your life is shitty, then your life will be shitty. So why not be optimistic and think of life as a more fun thing?'
I smiled at him. Yet another of Athrun Zala's famous lectures to wake me up.
------------------------------------
I looked at his back as he walked into the airport with the red headed girl beside him. They seemed so happy together.
Life is a journey huh?
They seemed to have such a nice future ahead of them.
What about us?
Is there a future for us?
Will there ever be a future for us?
Know what, Athrun? I don't want to know the answer unless your answer is yes.
'Athrun, Meyrin. I wish you two all the best' I said softly as I turned away from the couple who were headed towards the PLANTS. 'I think life is a battlefield, It doesn't matter who wins, because in the end, both parties are losers'
Because I lost you, Athrun

Hope you enjoyed it! I may write a continuation, with the other characters and their metaphors of life (: We'll see about it, but for now,
The End. lunarstar07
