My entire life I have always heard the metaphor when life gives you lemons make lemonade but in all honesty I couldn't fully ever understand what that metaphor meant. I've decided to give it my own definition. (It might be what everyone meant all along but whatever.) When life gives you something sour turn it into something sweet. But what if we get used to the feeling of sour. Do we continue living with it or do we still make the lemonade. Life gets complicated like that. Humans oddly have the ability to adjust and get used to things. Like my boyfriend he loves lemons. Although he's a terrible example because he does not really get into sour situations. I am kind of realizing that my sour situations are stemming from sour feelings . In the real world its very simple to make lemonade, I would know I used to make lemonade stands with my brother when we were younger. At that time there seemed to be much fewer complications. Like as a kid I did not worry about the fact that sugar can barely dissolve in cold water I would just keep stirring and hope for the best, but now I've been in several science classes and I don't understand how my lemonade didn't come out crunchy from undissolved sugar grains. Maybe it was my optimism that made the lemonade good. I wanted to believe it was good so when adults lied to me and told me it was amazing I would of course believe them. Maybe that's the secret to emotional lemonade. I have to believe things will be alright for things to become alright. You know, like that other metaphor "fake it till you make it".
