‘Don’t ever stop being yourself !’

And I’m here to remind you: “Ain’t nothing wrong with being invisible.”

Most of us have had those days where we are invisible. You may think "If I’m able to Hide then I can walk in front of an enemy and still be counted as invisible.” Some social predators can smell your scent from miles away. Just hang in there! There will be people who care about us like TRUE friends.

Don’t believe in “If enemies know where you are, wear your sunglasses at night to protect yourself. So you can hide, can be invisible, watching them weave your storylines”. Same in my mind, and my dreams for a long time, I’ve told you these things a thousand times — from now on people will get to know me based on my personality rather than my appearance. Because we too are doing ourselves a disservice rushing to a rising star and underestimating the ones already in orbit, or some such.

Wherever you go, remind you: that one way or another, exist the kind of person you know will be there for the rest of your life. And near always will be for nothing can keep away — you are the target of the cross his carry on.

When I see you pass outside my life, though: Hello, is it me you’re looking for!? Don’t change your number!” I’m just a moment behind — Ok, from the moment I wake to the moment I sleep — But I’ll be waiting in line, to see if you care. “Why won’t you call me?” (I would dial the numbers to listen to your breath). That It only takes a minute of your precious time. I will give you my finest hour, it’s not fair to deny me.

(Or don’t you want me because I broke into the old apartment, and tore the phone out of the wall? I was seeking any memories, fading memories, blended into dull tableaux — of course, I remember the mess you left when you went away).

While being alone is not always fun, you learn to live in the moment (in a good way) and enjoy the amazing things that come your way. Certainty regarding that which we can see and touch is seldom justified. You get to stop and breathe in the fresh air and be yourself.

So basically, we live in a paradox where all creatures know at all times where you are, they only can’t see you (Even if you’re right in front of them). That’s why it doesn’t make sense to live with unnecessary mood swings and run around thinking useless things, feeling kind of horrible in bed in a room, alone, with sad music playing in the background all the time, remembering why, feeling very sad, scared, and alone. This is not the life we ​​want!

“Down the ages, from our remote past, what certainties survive? And yet we hurry to fashion new ones. Wanting their comfort. Certainty… is the easy path.” (“The Gal Who Got Rattled” from *The Ballad of Buster Scruggs*).
