You're Not Invisible. You're Just Not Obnoxious.

A pep talk from Marge

for when you feel like the world doesn’t see you.

You’re feeling invisible, right? Like today, that darn universe looked directly at you, shrugged, and said, “Meh”?

Yeah. I’ve been there. Lived there. Decorated the walls with passive-aggressive sticky notes.

First of all know that—the universe is rude. Like, capital-R RUDE. Maybe its because the universe has a big head. That’s the only way to explain it being the kind of rude that skips your birthday, spells your name wrong on a trophy you didn’t even win, and then has the nerve to give someone else credit for the idea you whispered three weeks ago. Oh yeah. That rude.

And you— talented, quietly brilliant you—are sitting there wondering if the universe’s personal vendetta against you is your fault.

Newsflash: it’s not.

It’s not your fault that you’re just stuck in a room full of glitter cannons, fog machines, and people who think shouting equals mattering.

Honestly, if I had my scythe right now? I would slice right through this nonsense. Clean cut. Wouldn’t stop slicing until I got all the way to the truth.

And the truth is this: you are not invisible. You’re just not obnoxious. Huge difference.

You don’t have to scream to matter. There’s no need for a theme song or a firework entrance. What you bring—the depth, the insight, the quiet strength—that’s the stuff that lasts longer than the shouting.

So no, you don’t have to change to fit the noise. You just have to keep being you. Because one day, all those glitter cannons are gonna fizzle out—and you’ll still be standing. Probably rolling your eyes. I will be too.

Now chin up, shoulders back, and if anyone ignores you again?

Just imagine me behind them with my scythe and a very strong opinion.

With love,

Your Fave Grim Reaper in Training (G.R.I.T), Marge
