They say "There are many fish in the sea" (I just don't know how to fish)

People have always told me after break ups, "Don't worry there are plenty of fish (guys) in the sea." Obviously I don't know how to fish. I choose different baits time and time again and i keep getting the fish covered in oil. They slip right through your hands and wiggle right back in to the ocean where they came from. To every person who has ever told me the above words I have this to say to you: If I wanted the whole damn sea, I'll cast my net and collect as many fish as I wanted and start an aquarium or eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. There is a reason that I sit in a row boat with a single fishing line. I don't want fish that I can devour or display. I want a fish to take hold of my fishing line and pull me out to sea. I want to live in the water with my catch in a beautiful coral reef (enough metaphors for you?). In all honesty I already have two great love affairs, the first is with God, and the second is with my writing. So I think i'll drop the fishing rod for a bit and just enjoy the beauty of the deep blue that surrounds me.
