Life is like baking

We measure

Everything even to the smallest of its ingredients

We seperate the liquid from the solid mixture

Before putting them together

Stirring constantly to make a perfect blend

Choosing between folding it, blending or how fast you stir it is very important because it would determine the outcome of the cake

Even if you know it tastes bad,

You decorate your cake with different kinds of icings

Add chocolates and colorful sprinkles just to look tasty and well put

Life is also like cooking

It doesn't matter what ingredients you have,

You think of something creative

Gather ingredients, putting a dash of everything

Sugar, spice and everything nice

To make the food delicious and scrumptious

Even if you didn't know half of the ingredients you put in your cooking

You still want everybody to get a taste of what you've made

But either way they need fire for them to cook

Keep them warm

Keep them fresh

Plate them and make them look presentable

A box of chocolates, 'cause sometimes you get that nasty one no one ever really likes that they for some reason still make. Oh, you think you know which one you're about to bite into, because of the dubious diagram the they print on the useless sheet of paper that sits on top of the tray, but it's never really accurate, so when you bite into one that you think is going to be a caramel crunch, what you end up with is a lemon butterscotch confection that makes you want to vomit up the contents of your stomach. There's a Forrest Gump quote expounded upon for you. You're welcome. :P

Life is like a box of chocolates: you never know what you're gonna get. There's a lot of surprises in life. -Tom Hanks as Forrest Gump (Forrest Gump 1994)

Life is like a roller coaster ride,

you have your ups and downs.

Life is like a bicycle:

In order to keep balance you have to keep moving.
