And that hurts because invisibility feels personal. It feels like rejection. It feels like you're shouting into the void

So I jumped on the scale thinking that, oh, I've stayed the same now, I haven't been on the scale. I haven't weighed myself since 2024, all of 25. I never jumped on the scale, but I knew nothing changed. I look in the mirror every day. We all do,
