It's about attempting to be normal and just go out and be around other people and hang out. I have a tendency to sometimes be pretty closed off and not see people for long periods of time and not call anyone.

The off-brown collared shirt and forest-green sash were not something I would have ever been caught wearing in front of my friends.
