Sometimes, staying silent or avoiding confrontation can lead to being overlooked or feeling invisible. Making waves, or daring to stand out, is often necessary to assert our presence and forge meaningful connections. It encourages us to be authentic and proactive about our desires and identities, rather than blending into the background. Yet, it also suggests the importance of balance—shaking the boat too much might cause unnecessary chaos. Ultimately, the quote reminds us that self-expression and boldness are vital for recognition and fulfillment.

Maybe that'd make you feel better too. — David Mitchell
