Want to be Noticed

Well things could be much worse

I didn't think it would be so effective, the new shirt I bought, that is.

Yesterday, I was a nobody. In fact, even the day before and the day before that day--ever since I could remember. When I smile at people, they smile back... to the person behind me. I'm practically transparent to them! Sheesh.

It was so frequent that I took time to look at myself in the mirror.

 Hey, I don't look that bad! Probably not handsome, but not bad! So why don't people notice me? Was it my attitude? The air I hold? Well, probably, but I didn't know what to do with that!

And that's when I thought: clothes. I need new ones anyway, so I thought of buying a classy one. What? I like to stand out, well, I think that's better than not being noticed... and so I bought one!

And like I said, it was so effective! People are literally STARING at me! I was having a hard time keeping myself from jumping from Joy! It worked! At last! Well... not for too long...

"Mister, you still got the tag on, right there," a small girl pointed at the small piece on my back. After I took it off, people noticed me no more. Crap.

hahaha... the ending was epic fun...
at some point in our lives we want to get notice...
the thing is how? well its not about the cloths or how you pretend... its how you inspire others, or be yourself in doing something very good in life ..... or how you make your life worthwhile in every step and choices you make...

"When I smile to people they smile back"
Perhaps: When I smile at people they smile back.

Keep up the good work!
