Life of a Novice Writer

For 365 days I will talk about random things I may or may not be able to tell people in real life. As a beginner in writing, I will tell stories about my life, while hoping to improve my writing skills. Can't guarantee it will be everyday due to the author's mentality.

Day 29 "Lack of Presence"

We are upset that grandma said we didn't take any full baths for days.

However, we literally took one yesterday and today we didn't.

Seeing me with my hair wrapped up and dry, she started to nag me.

Sort of.

She said it out loud for all of us to hear. Think it might have reached the neighbors.

Heck she told me to take a full bath yesterday. So we did. Even if we had a headache.

And she was there. She saw me with wet hair.

Well guess we were mistaken 'cause she just scolded us for not taking one for days.

And we thought we were the ones with not so great vision and memory.

"Then again, it's hard to, oh, I don't know, fucking remember someone close to me take a bath and walk around the house with wet hair yesterday."

Okay calm down.

It's just that, she said it for the whole house to hear and the neighbors AND scolded me.

Like, we finally calmed down from the whole 'am I internally bleeding' shit. Took a half bath to help calm ourselves and she just took one look at me and scolded me for everyone to hear!

Which reminds me.

We sometimes get ignored unintentionally.

Like, we know we're sort of a wallflower type of person.

Didn't expect it was to the point of being invisible to other people.

It rarely happens.

One time we were on the bed with grandma, just relaxing. Using our phones. Then all of a sudden she shouted, "Can you please turn off the light?"

She kept shouting for us to turn off the light.

"....yes?"

"Turn off the light!"

"Uhh....okay."

"Turn off the light!"

We laughed.

"Wait, you're here?"

"We're literally side by side."

"I thought you left and went outside."

"Pfffft. Nope. Turn off the light right?"

"Yes."

And another time we were eating on the dining table she asked the others if they'd seen me 'cause we needed to eat.

She passed by the same dining table more than once and she only saw them but not me?

They laughed and told her we were eating already.

Maybe she had a lot of thoughts.

And didn't notice one more person.

Sort of feel good because this thing could help me to relax and not be bothered. It's just annoying sometimes. Like what happened with the hair thing.

Not just grandmother. Others too.

Was just having a midnight snack and freaked out someone that went to the bathroom.

They said they didn't saw me when they went out of their room and now we were eating on the table.

Don't worry. You just didn't see me. You just simply passed by me and went straight to the bathroom. We saw you exit your room.

That was actually fun. 'Cause we didn't do it on purpose.

They laughed too.

That was fun.

It's not that we have no presence.

It's just that people are too focused on something they don't notice me.

Unintentional misdirection lol.

Well, it is what it is.

Until next chapter!

Bye~
