Are you a lobster or an onion - or a bit of both?

Just thinking about all the changes I’ve been through and whether I’ve shed my smaller shells as I’ve grown or whether all the layers of self are still there underneath. I tend to think I’m a bit lobster and a bit onion – when I’m lonely or afraid, the old layers get touched. Yet I’m handling more and more independently and getting more and more open to new experiences.

Which one are you – or are there other metaphors for your life that you’d care to share?
