"my advice for obtaining pearls: shuck some oysters. you may find a treasure that lies therein." no one thing worth the world's weight in gold ever came without a price, even a sacrifice. and sometimes, it's the person we least expect who holds the biggest pearl of all. every person, every circumstance has a grain of sand in its center. if we rub hard enough and long enough, something will come of it. we just have to stick with it.
find the pearl.
