Lola and I both highly believed in the value of metaphorical gifts, so while everyone else saw a demonic-looking cat skeleton dripping wax on the packaging, Lola saw the message: Our friendship is like this feline shaped candle - burn away all the shit, and you and me are still solid underneath. Always. Krystal Sutherland
About This Quote

Lola and I both believed in the power of metaphorical gifts. We both believed that, if we could find the right gift for each other, we could keep our friendship strong and unbreakable. When Lola gave me a demonic-looking cat skeleton dripping wax on the packaging, she didn’t mean that I would actually see a cat skeleton dripping wax on the packaging. Instead, she was expressing her love for me and how special I am to her. This metaphorical gift showed that we were still solid and together no matter what disagreements we had.
