i just learned to get to your apartment

Two different friends recently made the following remarks to me:


"They look like shoes you'd wear in an insane asylum" (Re: a pair of espadrilles I have)

"It looks like something you'd get out of a gumball machine" (Re: a neclace I'd made)

.

Now, I really like having friends who feel like they can be honest with me, and I like having friends who are creative and smart. I just wish they'd be not so good at metaphors sometimes.
