I doubt there will ever be a biography about me, but if there is, I think it would be in a sample of biographies of common people. I think I would almost make it out of the common section, as I am a Guillain-Barré survivor, but still, my life is pretty standard, and I think that now it is filled with a lot of peace.
I am not famous and probably will never be. Moreover, most of the time, when I go biking or for a walk, I don’t think that people look at me but see me as an obstacle they have not to crash into. It is fair, tho, as I believe that when we walk, we are focused on getting to our destination and avoiding the obstacles in the way, and this could explain why we see each other as wallflowers (when they are not in our way to then be considered obstacles).
Yep, I think I’m invisible for most of the world, and that’s okay. If the biography is more complete, it will then include that I had a bit of dark humor, how I loved my family, how lucky I was to meet so many amazing people in my life, and how I tried my best despite all the challenges I faced. My biography would be more similar to the movie I thought of when I read this prompt.
Thank you very much for reading this post! I hope we all start seeing wallflowers by what they are, real people.
