I’ve been everywhere

I’ve been everywhere. I have been to over twenty-two countries and I have experienced eighteen languages. I have gotten into a lot of different thing, some good things and some bad things. I have been hurt and also broken many times throughout my life. I have sat through many school exams often times knowing the right answers, but I have no mouth to speak up. I have a phobia of many things. I fear hammers, doors and germs. I have many friends but they are hard to reach. I’m always lonely and always just observing my surroundings. I love showers but I hate the grooming I get after. I would rather be groomed though than bit. My owner needs to be careful not to bite or groom me too far back for I can be very painful for him. When I’m softer it isn’t as painful for me. I will sometime collect bacteria and have to be removed. I don’t like being separated from my friends. I have been shaken a lot, mostly from other people. I am happy though that I can see things that are high and that are low. I can often see things that my owner cannot. I can see inside high selves or I can see things in tight spaces. I can witness things in the sky when my owner is stretching or stuff in the grass when my owner is doing pushups. If I lose a part of myself I can slowly grow it back. If I lose a part of me my owner has to make sure that the area around me is more sterile than when I have all of me. As long as my owner is alive I stay alive. Even after my owner passes away I’m normally the last thing to go. I can be long or I can be short. But if longer I break easier and my owner must be careful with me. I have scraped many things off of all kinds of stuff. Without me you couldn’t remove window clings, adhesive or gum from the bottom of your shoe. But the worst thing of all is when my owner puts me in the worst place ever, his nose! I hate it. It is dark and has a weird texture and I’m always the one who is retrieve what my owner is going for. I pray that he washes his hands afterwards but it normally just finds a way of making it to a pant leg of his jeans. Another good thing about me is that I’m one of the healthiest parts of my owner’s external frame. I’m made mostly of calcium. This also makes me really strong. I enjoy being what I am. I love the traveling that I get to do and the place that I get to experience. Most of the people I interact with seem nice, but I always know who the ones are who don’t like to wash their hands after using the restroom. Overall I’m fairly happy. As long as I don’t have to enter into wet, dark and slimy places I’m normally pretty pleased.
