Advice

There's a fine line between coming out of your shell and practicing to be someone you are not. From experience, trying to be someone you're not will ultimately fail and in a most spectacular way. It's more important to remain within your comfort zone but expand that zone to include more and more interaction with others.

The best part for me is that this was not advice that someone else gave, but advice that I have given someone else. I've come a long way in a year's time.

Thing about shells is, most species have them for protection.

Oh, my defensive shell was quite strong and hardy and causing more problems than it was solving. I guess I should have clarified the difference between a comfort zone and a defensive shell.
