He was a whale-washing literally who working the grind just to make by. He didn't have much to his name but the people that knew him loved him and he was good at what he does. But this little guy wasn't happy with that, no, dreamed for the big one; the giant blue Dorito at the top, the big leagues, the Stars. Then one day he gets made. Thought it was the happiest experience of his life, and for a while it was. Even made a best friends with another fish, one with lots of hands and a big heart (for femboys). But it didn't last. He realized that with all the glamor and pomp came bundled with even more expectations and restrictions. He couldn't be who he was or be seen as one of the the other bottom-feeders struggling through the grind in their own way.
Each day he faked it through gritted teeth trying to live the lie others wanted him to be. So one day he decides to give it all up; he pulls his new friend aside and they agree to show the world what they're made of, get one more moment in the spotlight, even get the Stars offering them a shiny new pearl for their status, but none of it mattered. He spent so much of his time looking at the stars that it was only when he was there he realized the view around was empty.
So our humble lad went back to the grind, gave up a life of fortune and fame back to doing what he loves, proud of who he is and the friends he's made. He's his own man, covered in filth, but a filth of his own making. And that, my friends, is more precious than any pearl.
