If I had to describe myself as an object, I would be a pearl. I have a tough exterior and if I am dropped, I will bounce right back up. I’m on the smaller side (five feet tall), rounded, and feminine. Also, my cultural background comes from a more exotic Asian descent. At times, I am introverted and prefer to be alone in my shell. It can be hard for me to find people that I trust. However, I function well with others once I am pulled into a new environment, pearls can take many shapes and forms. I had a difficult start because I moved around a lot which was a cause for consternation, yet that gave me my identity and helped me become who I am now.
The convention of forming a pearl takes about six months. That is the amount of time it usually takes me to get fully used to a new environment. In my true form, I can shine bright and attract others with my rapturous energy. Discoursing with others is something I enjoy doing, I love being admired by different minds and when necessary, pearls know how to grab people’s attention. However, I do not require everyone to admire me, some may see pearls as tacky or old-school, but I know that I can offer a lot to the world and continue to attract and shine. Unlike other gemstones, pearls originate from the sea and represent serenity & wisdom, similarly, I am calm-minded and always try to think rationally.
I found the way you described yourself as a pearl to be very creative. I loved the way you mentioned how it takes 6 months for a pearl to convert and it’s also how long it takes for you to adapt to a new environment.
Your writing style is very thorough and fluid. Your metaphors between pearl and your personal life were also witty.
