“A close friend once told me that she wished she was invisible. There was so much that I wanted to tell her. I wanted to tell her that there is nothing good about being utterly ignored. I wanted to tell her that invisibility isn’t really as cool in the real world as superheroes make it out to be; you don’t choose when you want to be unseen - you’re simply unseen. I wanted to tell her that there is nothing desirable about feeling like society as a whole has made an agreement that your existence is to be treated as null and void, except for the times you are able to tend to its wants and needs at the expense of yours. But instead, all I said was ‘No, you don’t.’”
