I wore a full-body blow-up frog costume for Halloween this year and went with my sister, her bf, and my bf to Memphis. I danced in the street for complete strangers; women who would've ignored me if it weren't for the frog. They cheered me on as I did epic tricks and wiggled my rotund hind. At that moment I felt so loveable. That was the first time my social anxiety melted away in the company of thousands of people I didn't know.
The frog changes us all.
