This is a small metal keychain about the size of a pink eraser. It is light, and the metal is not very dense. Cold to the touch, and shiny and nature, all the joints swing freely and do not stay in one position. The keychain is fairly old, purchased ten years ago, and it is still covered in a layer of dust from disuse. This object is fairly important to me because it signifies both my family and my childhood. It is from New York which is where some of my family lives. This helps to represent the fun vacations and adventures I've had while visiting them. It also represents my views of childhood since it is from when I was only 7 years old, and it helps me to remember how I viewed the world as a child. It was kind of hard to balance the object while standing up, because the chain kept pulling it backwards. Therefore, it took me at least 10 tries before I was able to get it to stand straight.
