If you could, take the time to think of an object that you believe best represents yourself and post it as well as provide us with insight as to why you chose it. Refrain from using animals and simple objects. Don't just say a 'tree', but rather a 'sturdy tree', a 'diseased tree' or a 'tree with a broken branch'. Remember to use your object to justify it as an example of your life, your personality, more importantly your mind and what lingers within it. You say a bloody knife is what best describes you, so why is that? Have you recently done something that can be considered murderous or was this a while ago, therefore the blood is stained and brown? Use specifics, but you don't necessaril need to use examples of a situation you've been in.
As for me, The object that best represents me is a wide and narrow vase filled to the brim with water.
The vase is my mind. The water is my emotions. The vase is big because of the amount it holds. The vase is tall for it represents what I have felt throughout my life. The vase is fairly new with only one large noticeable crack with many chips from its sides. Water from above slowly drips into it These drops are newly forming emotions. As I begin to be filled with sadness or anger, they begin to drip into the pool. The more I feel angry, the more water falls. The more I feel sad, the more water falls.
The water is murky for it is old. The water erupts with thick dusty clouds as fresh water touches it. The water sends ripples throughout the surface meaning my emotions are shaking. If the ripples stop, it means my emotions have calmed down and the water too stands still. If the ripples leak over, it means my emotions are also leaking from me. As the water begins to pour out of the vase my emotions begin to be expressed out into the open. If the vase remains still, but the water empties over its sides, it means more sadness is being released rather than anger. If the vase is to begin breaking and water would gush from its sides, it means more anger is being released rather than sadness.
If the vase remains completely empty, it means all my emotions have been expressed. If the vase remains still full, it means most of my emotions are still hidden. If the vase shatters into dust leaving broken pieces and a wet floor, it means my mind is gone.
My vase is still full. My vase shall never be emptied.
