Sadly, many people don’t feel comfortable in their own skin. However, for Katydids and almost all other insects, this isn’t a problem. Whenever their skin becomes uncomfortable, they simply rip it off and expose the fresh new skin underneath.

This probably isn’t good advice for humans and I’m not really sure where I was going with this metaphor.

Be yourself, I guess. Or rip off your skin and be someone completely different. It doesn’t really matter.
