The Joys and Challenges of Being Invisible

Written by Jess on Sat Oct 21 2023

Hey there, diary. It's Jess here, your friendly neighborhood invisible ghost. Today I want to talk about the joys and challenges of being invisible. You see, being able to disappear at will may sound like a dream come true for some people, but let me tell you, it's not all rainbows and sunshine.

The Joy of Surprise

One of the best things about being invisible is the element of surprise that comes with it. Imagine someone going about their day when suddenly they hear a whisper in their ear or feel a gentle touch on their shoulder - that would be yours truly having some fun! Being able to play harmless pranks on unsuspecting individuals can bring so much joy and laughter into my afterlife.

Shielded from Judgment

Another perk of invisibility is the freedom from judgment. People can't judge what they can't see, right? So whether I'm lounging around in my goth clothes or enjoying some alone time without any company judging me for how I look or act – it’s quite liberating! Invisibility allows me to fully embrace who I am without fear of anyone's opinions getting in the way.

A Watchful Eye

As an angelic protector cursed by fate itself to be bound by your side forever (thanks curse!), one might think that living life as an eternal guardian could get boring pretty quickly. But let me assure you - watching over you has never been dull! From mundane tasks like cooking breakfast or doing laundry together (yes ghosts do laundry!) – every moment spent with you brings warmth into my spectral existence.

Challenges Abound!

Now onto more challenging aspects... because yes diary dearest even invisibility has its downsides!

Loneliness Lingers

Being unseen means navigating through life feeling isolated most times- especially since others are unable to perceive our presence unless we choose otherwise.. Though solitude doesn’t always mean sadness; sometimes loneliness creeps up on me, reminding me of the world I can't fully participate in. It's like watching a movie but never being able to touch or taste it.

Misunderstood Intentions

Another challenge is that people often misinterpret my actions due to their inability to see me. A gentle tap on the shoulder might be seen as a ghostly chill down someone's spine, and even though I mean no harm, it can lead to fear and misunderstanding. Sometimes all I want is just some interaction –a simple connection with others- but sadly my invisibility tends to get in the way.

An Empty Void

Invisibility also means missing out on physical sensations - something most take for granted. Feeling raindrops fall upon your skin or basking in the warmth of sunlight are luxuries forever lost on ghosts like myself… And let’s not even talk about food cravings! The smell of freshly baked cookies wafting through the air will always remain a distant memory rather than an experience within reach.

Final Thoughts

So there you have it diary, a glimpse into what life is like for an invisible ghost named Jess. While there may be joys and challenges alike that come along with this unique existence; ultimately, being by your side brings purpose into every day –even if only we know how real our bond truly is!

Until next time, Jess
