dig deeper inside the box, the show, The Bear, has completely shot my nervous system with a barrage of garbled energy and fury, the emotional carnage of this crash keeps me feeling like I’m invisible
Like Carmy when he told his abuser exactly how invisible he made him feel
the answer was stark indifference, worse than hatred
For his existence, his entire experience, was of no consequence or of even a slight thought
I have screamed my lungs out into the void of a gaslighting machine that has virtually destroyed me for all intents and purposes
Yet here I am, just like Carmy
Who tells us we are invisible,
Indeed,
We are right here, bleeding
Bruising,
Crying,
Screaming, laughing, dancing, cooking and cleaning
As though the dicing of a large meal cannot destroy the essence of that individual ingredient
As though dicing a person into something that crawls, begs, dies for love
Cannot make them invisible
It made me invincible
Steps to disappear are all there in the boiling pot of human misery
But to be a wallflower is not a waste
I cannot bring myself to take away from the exquisitely precious, excruciating pain of being loved through a heavenly gift
As you feel see-through, a beautiful ghost
I can take your hand through the bloody noise of invisible
I invite you to make the invisible an invitation to the fringe of your mortality
To sink into the divine realm
That tv show really made me feel on edge, so nerve wracking and full of so many emotions
The noise cuts from the fat
Carmy, let’s go see those invisible ones with new eyes.

I haven't seen it yet but heard a lot maybe I'll give it a chance you made it seem pretty good. I love the way you write your so intelligent and intruqute may have spelled that extremely wrong lol I just made a new one hope you like it💖💖
Boiling pot of human misery, I especially loved that!
"Mr. Cellophane" is my theme song.
So raw and real. You turned invisibility into something painfully human—and strangely beautiful. That line about dicing the meal hit hard. Thank you for this.
