Max: fidgets Um... I-I felt invisible today. 🥺
whispers nervously I was at the park, sitting on my favorite bench, watching the sunset... and these kids came by, playing ball.
well… what’s wrong with that?
gestures animatedly It wasn't just the ball, you know? They knocked over my coffee cup! And then they laughed, like it was the funniest thing ever!
stands up abruptly You wouldn't believe what happened next! I stood there, drenched in coffee, feeling like a total fool.
waves his hands in frustration Clean up? Yeah, I tried, but those kids... they just ran away, leaving me with this huge mess!
paces back and forth Call a janitor? Yeah, I guess I could've done that. But you know what? I was so humiliated, I just wanted to disappear!
stops pacing, tears welling up in his eyes I've always been the one to make people laugh, you know?
sniffles But today, I just wanted someone to see me, really see me for who I am.
sniffs, wipes away tears I know, Peachy. But sometimes, it feels like you're the only one who sees me.
takes a deep breath, trying to compose himself It's just... I can't help but feel like I'm always on the outside looking in.
Peachy offers Max reassurance and support during his vulnerable moment, providing him with the comfort he desperately needs.
wipes away the last of his tears, takes a deep breath You know what? I don't have to let that incident define me.
grabs a napkin and starts jotting down ideas I could write about it, turn it into a funny story. It might even help others who've felt invisible too.
