Being Invisible

Did you know that you could become invisible?

It happens slowly, almost unnoticeably.  It happens as you get older or if you are chubby or "overweight" by our society standards.  

You know you are invisible when people don't look at you or even see you as they are walking by.  No smiles or acknowledgment - they just walk by.  You may even be bumped into or almost run over because "they did not see you".  In the past, when we were young or pretty or thin - folks would look at us and smile or nod or something.

It is a sort of sad feeling being invisible.  It is like folks don't want to take the time to even notice you are there.  I want to make an effort to be different.  God help me to notice others and to take the time to smile and acknowledge them even though I am invisible.

Sometimes I think I am invisible until someone seems to look confused by my appearance. I see them wonder if my hair is a wig or why in the world do I walk around in clothes that look like pajamas all day... (:
