"We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves."

Brillo - Male
Brillo means shimmer or shine in Spanish
And to me, Brillo is shining not only by what he looks like, but what he is inside. His personality is bright, bringing light to those around him, his personality shining most then any other thing about him.
That's why I chose the name Brillo, he is a shining star in a world where it is dark and gloomy. If you let yourself shine, that darkness seems a little less dark.
Brillo has a quirk about finding things, something that no one else has found.
He collects things like this constantly, putting them into his big leather satchel that he carries around that hold his findings safely. You can find him late up at night looking at all the treasures he found, wondering on who they belonged to and the history of them. Sometimes he lets his imagination run wild, thinking about what they may have been used for, and who had held them before him.
This brings him great joy in his life, ever since he has found his first little treasure; a broken watch. The watch is the turning point in his life, making him realize that something so small and what may be useless could give him such joy. Some may say what he finds is garbage, broken or useless, but to him everything has a use, whether its big or small. And if what he finds use is only to bring him a bit of joy, then that object purpose has no less of value then anything else. Everything has a reason to be here."Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties."
- Helen Keller
When Brillo was born, his parents knew there was something special about him. It wasn't just his coloring, or his shimmering eyes. It was him.
As far as Brillo could remember, he was always wandering away as soon as he learned how to walk alone. He always wanted to seek out new things, find discoveries, and be an adventurer. Though, like any JBD his age, that's what they all wanted. They wanted knowledge and understanding, to go where they haven't gone before. But even then, even as Brillo continued to age, that dream never went away. As that little JBD continued to grow, his eyes were always focused ahead, looking at something that no one could see, but he could see it. He could see all those possibilities out in the horizon, and he always wanted to reach for them. When Brillo reached of age to finally be off on his own, he took this as his chance. Even though he would miss his family and all those other JBD's that he has known since birth, he explained to them that this was his life and he felt the need to go. With that, they all understood, and he was well on his way. Those first few weeks being on his own were not as fun as he expected, it was a lot different then his life before. But even with all those hard times he had that first part of his adventure, it never broke his spirits, he was still determined to keep going, to keep pushing towards his passion of finding discoveries and answers.
After a few years of searching, gaining knowledge about things he was curious on, and seeing sights he had heard about in his childhood, the brightly colored JBD suddenly felt empty. He loved adventuring, but there was something missing. He had all the memories of the places he's been too, but it wasn't enough. For months he felt this restlessness inside him, he mind turning and twisting with possibilities on why he was unhappy. Finally, after much thinking, he decided to head home. He thought to himself that he may be homesick, but deep down he knew it wasn't true. He just didn't want to face the fact that he didn't know what was wrong, or why he lost his drive. As he traveled back home, his mind wandered to various things, thinking that maybe he has wasted his time searching for nothing, searching for things that have already been discovered and hold no value. Those years flew by fast when he traveled, and as he walked he wondered if all that time was wasted."Find out where joy resides, and give it a voice far beyond singing. For to miss joy is to miss all."
- Robert Louis Stevenson
A few weeks into travelling back home, going past one of his many sights, a large glistening river that seemed to cut through the land. He remembered staying here for awhile, adventuring out with wide amounts of curiosity, diving into every hole and spot that he could find. Suddenly, he found himself looking into the stream, looking at his reflection. His eyes gazed back at the watery eyes, holding it stare steadily, as if trying to find something within him.Then suddenly his eyes twitched, catching something in the corner of his eyes that shimmered. With a flick of an ear,he wandered over, noticing a small hole that was never upturned by him. He pawed at the ground, widening it to get a better look. He then saw what the object was, a watch. A nice one at that, though it was broke, the time set in place forever. Suddenly, everything become so clear to him. Here was something that no one else has found, something that hasn't been touched for quite sometime. He found it. He himself found something that no one else has found. Right then, he valued that treasure more then anything, for it changed his life. When looking at that broken watch, he knew he didn't waste his life pursuing discovery. Because when you set out to do something you enjoy, time doesn't matter anymore, it how you use that time to enjoy the things you are passionate about. Right then, that emptiness was filled within him.
To this day that JBD is out there, finding new things everywhere he goes. His pile is large, though he remembers every story about how he found those items. Each one holds value to him, even if others view it as useless or broken. To him it doesn't matter, because it gives him joy. And if something could bring someone such joy, no matter how big or small, that object has value.
When Brillo finds an object, he knows that there's something special about it. It isn't that it works, or that it is expensive. It's how it brings him joy."Remember this, that very little is needed to make a happy life."
- Marcus Aurelius
