three cheers for the invisible girl.

I feel like everyone has forgotten that I exist. During lunch today, most of my friends ignored me. My best friend went to Six Flags without me. The kids I grew up with - my best friends since kindergarten, practically - don't call or text me anymore. They don't send me birthday wishes, ask me about crushes, or offer to help me with my homework anymore. Sure, they live in an entirely different city, but all through middle school, they made a point to three-way-call me once or twice a week, and then see a movie with me over the weekend.

My mom forgot to pick me up from voice lessons today. She came an hour later than my voice lessons normally ended. The whole time, I sat in the rain, thinking about the last few times she forgot me. Somehow, I remembered every single time. I spent a whole hour throwing rocks at plants, growing angrier or sadder with each throw.

When my mom picked me up, she automatically assumed my silence meant that I was hungry, and she turned to me, saying, "Don't worry. I made pork chops."

I don't want your pork chops.

I just want everyone to remember that I'm still here.

I still remember you're here! If it makes you feel any better, I check this blog all the time! And it's on my Favorites toolbar :)

Don't worry, we all have our days. Tomorrow your best friends will decide to talk to you again and someone will want to make plans with you and your mom won't forget to pick you up for your next voice lessons.
