On Days I Feel Invisible

 

Some days, I feel like I disappear a little.

Not physically.

But in the way people look past me.
In the way my voice feels softer than usual.
In the way I start to wonder if I’m being seen at all.

Or in the way anxiety creeps in and I’m left picking up pieces of me and gluing them back together. 

Those are the days I reach for structure.

Not comfort.

Not softness.

Structure.

Clothes that hold their shape.
A skirt that falls properly.
A top that sits where it’s supposed to.

Something that reminds me where I begin and end.

Because when I feel invisible…

I don’t want to vanish.

I want to feel contained.

Grounded.

Held together, even if only by what I’m wearing.

So I dress a little more intentionally.

I tuck things in.
I smooth things out.
I choose pieces that don’t ask me to think too much, but still make me stand a little straighter.

Not for anyone else.

But for me.

I want to show the world that I’m still here. 

I’m still moving. 

Writing. 

Creating. 

But most of all, I want to prove to myself that I can get over this hump again and reach the other side safely. 

I want to look in the mirror and say, “there you are…and you matter.”

Because sometimes, looking put together isn’t about being seen.

It’s about reminding myself that I exist.

That I’m here.

That I take up space… even if no one else is paying attention.

And somehow, in the quiet confidence of that—

I start to feel like myself again.

My style reflects my emotions, too.

What I carry

These feel right at the moment.
