Dumb Superheroes

I don't know what some of those superheroes were thinking...being invisible sucks.

There comes a time in every girl's life when no matter how hard you try to stop liking him, you simply can't help it. Each of us have known that boy who makes life better just by smiling, for whom we would wait hours if only to catch a second of eye contact with him. But unfortunately he's also the one we think is so far out of our league; the one we put up on a shelf and label "untouchable." For some reason we can't see anything but his perfection, and our lack thereof. You try and try to be noticeable whether it's through personality, humor, looks, you name it; but in the end you remain invisible. And that thought drives us crazy-how do we have such an easy time making friends, an easy time gaining the respect of adults and love of children, yet he still doesn't know we exist?
And then there's the competition. That girl who makes your self esteem drop ten points merely by breathing. She smiles at all the right times, bats her eyelashes an inordinate amount, and never seems to have a single hair out of place. Never a blemish on her perfectly even suntanned skin, and she must just live at the gym.
Why do we put ourselves in these situations? Why do we let us ourselves want more than we deserve or even dare to compare with those far more valuable prospects?

I think these thoughts on a daily basis, and mostly on Sundays when I fidget around not knowing what to do with myself or where to sit, etc. and I can barely remember the reason I am there in the first place because something far more distracting is commanding my attention.

...and in the midst of this war of looks and personality and flirting and competition, I have to constantly tell myself... If he really knew what he was missing, he wouldn't settle for anything else.
To all my girls out there; tell yourselves the same thing the next time you find yourself being "invisible."Because it's true :)
