The Air & The Invisible Moon


"Invisible does not mean inexistent."

#WINisWIND


In a day, how many times do you realise that you were breathing? And how many times do you realise that the air existed? Barely, right? Imagine the number of times you realised the existence of air, that's the number of times that people recognised me.

It's no different from my life.

My first name is Archawin, my nickname is 'Win'. Even though my nickname in English is 'Win', I've always thought that the word 'Wind' suited me more.

I was like the wind — the invisible air.

Thinking about my life, I could only sigh and continue walking out of my dormitory. I was a freshman, a first year student, of the Faculty of Business Administration at XU University. Today was my first day. I came to start a new life here and I wanted to be reborned as a new person.

"Hello!" I raised my hand to greet the dorm's security guard, who was reading a newspaper. I wanted to get to know him just in case I might need some help in the future, but it seemed like he didn't hear me. He didn't even lift his head to look at me.

Well, I couldn't blame him, and it's not because he was arrogant.

It was all because of me.

I have been like this since I was born. My parents and my relatives often forgot about me because I had a very beautiful and smart older sister. In addition, my father's side of the family had not had a daughter or granddaughter for many generations. That was why everyone was so crazy about my sister while I was forgotten.

Perhaps because my face was neither handsome nor ugly. Perhaps because my height was neither tall nor short. Perhaps because my grade was neither bad nor good. Perhaps because I didn't have any outstanding abilities. As a result, I became an unnoticed person. Not just a loser, but a total nobody.

When I was in primary school, teachers usually forgot that I was in the class. Sometimes, they even forget to call my name when they were checking the attendance. After school, most of my classmates would forget to invite me for hang outs or sports, or even if they did, they would forget to talk to me anyway.

I was completely invisible in a way that affected my daily life.

When ordering the food, the vendor never looked at me, I had to call for a long time or write an order by myself. When walking in the crowd, I often got hit because most people didn't notice me. When waiting in a queue, sometimes I was overtaken because people thought my row wasn't occupied.

I only had a few tens of friends on Facebook because most of my classmates forgot to add me. And whenever I tried chatting with someone, 90 percent of them would reply 'who are you?'.

I had to let it go, as if it was my curse or disease. Nevertheless, I didn't want to be like this forever. I wanted to say goodbye to my unnoticed life. But...how do I do it?

"If I became a Moon of the university, how happy would I be?"

I muttered to myself. I saw many friends sharing tons of photos of the Moons — extremely good-looking university students — on their facebook timeline.

What was the feeling of being the light among the crowd? Someone like me who was invisible, could barely even imagine.

I continued to walk around to explore my university area because tomorrow would be the first day of orientation month, I needed to be prepared.
