Muted Square in the Zoom

They didn’t say my name in the meeting. Not once. I was there and had written half the report.

The credit went around the table like a bottle passed hand to hand. I watched it skip over me.

At lunch, I sat with them. One of them asked me, “Are you new?”

I’ve been here fourteen months.

After a while, you stop correcting people. You stop reminding them that you’re part of it. You become good at inhabiting the background. Or a muted square in the Zoom.

But I’m still here. Still opening the spreadsheet. Still writing the copy. Still dressing up and disappearing.

They didn’t see me. But I saw everything.

Micah 7:18 (NLT) - Where is another God like You, who pardons the guilt of the remnant, overlooking the sins of His special people? You will not stay angry with Your people forever, because You delight in showing unfailing love.

I refuse to embrace the struggle any longer so I decided to make peace with my demons. I felt free, and so did they. They no longer have to hide. They no longer have to stay inside.

They watch over me as I sleep every night. Or sometimes struggle to sleep every night. I wonder how I look like through their eyes.

People tell me the next day, "you looked like you had a rough night"

"I got into a fight... with my demons," I respond.

"Wow. But you're here today, so congratulations. You won," they said.

But did I actually win the battle?
