Missing you in the crowd

In the morning, Julie laid on the bed, her body humming in its sleepiness even though she had fallen asleep a few minutes after Roman had left the dorm. Right now, the rays of the sun passed through the cracks of the curtains, and she opened her eyes to look at it. 

Yesterday had been a rollercoaster day, a day that had turned her beliefs upside down, and she wouldn't be able to see things the same as before anymore. The day had started with her finding her costume to be torn, and then the play turned not just successful, but it left an elevating experience for Julie. 

And it felt like whatever confidence that she had lost in the past had returned to her. Julie felt confident, the skin of her shyness slowly shedding away to turn her into a better version of herself.
