On days when I feel the most invisible, I lie in my bed…
““On days when I feel the most invisible, I lie in my bed and pretend I’m not who I really am. I pretend I’m a girl who lives far, far away in a tropical place and I know how to sail the sea. I imagine my life is the sea. My bronze, beautiful-self smells of coconut oil. The sun kisses my long, straight hair. I’ve never been to the ocean, and it’s the sound of the waves that makes me open my eyes and know for sure I’m not in my attic any more. All””
