a: Breaking up ~
b: quitting your job
What: "Don't actually kiss or have breakup sex. It makes things complicated and messy. What I mean is: Keep It Short and Sweet (KISS). Nobody wants saccharine (truly, nobody ACTUALLY wants saccharine - it's a substitute sweetener that's cancerous...and has a vile aftertaste) and nobody wants to be nagged. The same way dating is like interviewing - breaking up is like quitting your job. It's just time for you to go your separate ways. You're not getting what you need from this person and if you can communicate that as honestly and with as much kindness as possible, many tears will be spared. "

a: Breaking up ~
b: tube of near finished toothpaste
What:
"I feel like breaking up is like a tube of near finished toothpaste and you only have $2 left till payday. You have to squeeze that sucker and even snip off the end to scrape whatever is left from the tube until you are satisfied you got your moneys worth. Otherwise, you'll be wondering 'what if'. I realise that this all highly depends on how long you were dating and your reasons for calling it quits but still! I mean, the person who has seen parts of your anatomy that you can only see yourself after a few yoga classes and a handheld mirror is now just somebody that you used to know? It's fucking hard man."

and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search.
The subject matter can be anything.
Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged.
The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with
the stark literalism of a relational database.
Metamia is like a girdle for your muses,
a cognitive girdle.
