Invisibility for me was safety.


Invisibility for me was safety.

To me, invisibility means you can be practically anywhere, hear anything, and learn so much more about what’s around you because no one notices where you are. I grew up in Madaket, California. Itty bitty town, really bad place, where being invisible was the best thing. If you didn’t get involved in the gangs, you got bullied or teased—for me it was being referenced to Joe Dirt. I didn’t like that. Invisibility for me was safety. You got to learn who was doing something stupid or was misbehaving or breaking the rules. By being invisible, you got to learn what not to do. You could choose not to follow their example. To me that’s all invisibility is, the chance to not get noticed and stay safe.
