“Dr. Glass is giving a pep talk to Reader. It seems to cheer him up…”

As a child, I used to feel like I could just earn people’s friendship and approval by working hard and getting academic achievements. It could be because of my Asian upbringing, or it could be my internal excuse to not engage in social interactions. But later in life, I begin to understand these two aspects have little correlation. True friends don’t care how well you draw or write, they just want to enjoy the moment with you.
