Turning Invisible
Do you ever feel invisible? Some times I feel like I could walk through a room and no one would see me. I’ve done it. The people in the room pulse around me laughing, chattering about something, but I can’t tell what. Frankly, I don’t get small talk. Small talk doesn’t mean a whole lot to me.
Is there really a point to talking about the weather? I don’t watch enough TV to carry on much of a conversation. I don’t know (and don’t care) about sports, and I get bored with video games. So there are times when I purposely turn invisible. I really get peoples attention when I have something silly to say or I’m at work discussing job related stuff. But, what about relationships. Well, get me in the guys in Sojourn and BANG I’m opaque. No longer invisible.
Chatter, chatter, chatter. There is no longer a problem with what to talk about. The problem is keeping the talk to a minimum so that we can get some rehearsing, songwriting, or recording done.
Maybe all of that is o.k. I think it is. Maybe it’s not important to always have something to say. Don’t you feel like you should always have the right thing to say? I think that it’s o.k.
In the Bible in Ecclesiastes 5:3 it says “For as a dream comes with a multitude of cares, so a fool's speech with a multitude of words.” Silence is often golden. It is often more wise to say nothing, when I force myself to have something to say it just sort of sounds dopey or odd or useless. Usually, I feel like I want to talk so that I can feel like I have something to say too. I want to count as some one like the others and have something to say or so that I can feel like a normal person who knows how to chat.
Well, that’s more of an issue with misunderstanding who I am in God’s eyes, and a misperception of what makes me important. I want to learn to be comfortable in my own skin, to be comfortable whether I have something to say or not. I need to get to the point where it’s o.k. to be invisible.
