“Not Invisible”

I am in a “Not Invisible” kind of mood. Most of my recent interactions with people have been positive, but today while walking with my son, I spoke to a woman walking with her 2 sons. While I thought our common ground of raising boys would be enough to reciprocate a greeting, it wasn’t. She looked at me, and then looked away. I did not empower her to make me feel invisible, but I thought about my son who loves seeing people… and I thought about how one day, I hope people are just as excited about seeing him and those who look like him.
