Pearl

    Lots of people know how a pearl is made, right? A grain of sand or fragment of rock or something gets trapped inside a clam or an oyster, it rolls around inside, gets coated with a substance called nacre, and eventually becomes the beautiful white orb we treasure.
    It's really fascinating when you think about it. A tiny, irritating little speck becoming something gorgeous and precious. Kind of like the issues we face in life, right? Annoying problems that we overcome can become precious lessons, valuable trophies of life. Or it can be like something we face in life that we initially see as annoying, but come to be fond of. Like a mandatory activity or an imperfection that eventually becomes tolerable and fun.
