I don't know the logic behind it, but last night my friend Ivan came out of his awkward shell. At Bella he did almost shameful things that I just wanted to turn away. When he went up to play Piano, a lot of people gave me this look of, " I'm so sorry." But for what?
I realized that people change every single day. When it's tucking away pride and cheering your friend on, or when it's ducking your head because it's humiliation. We all go through it, we all break out of our shell one day, even when it's baby steps. When you see a woman buying tampons for the first time, when you see someone going to tutoring after realizing they need help, it all meshes together some how.
Break out of your shell, do something you never thought you would; it's worth it, my friend.
-Because it is.
