One in a series of brief musings, commenting on the way my friend physically manifests certain emotions. Written with fellow ADHDers in mind.
There was no emotion in her gaze, no spark of life or joy. Instead, all I could see was apathy, a deep emptiness that seemed to pervade her entire being. I could tell she had been through a lot, and the weight of her struggles had taken a toll on her spirit. It was clear that, as with most of us, she didn't die to the world intentionally, same as me. Sometimes, even a single abrupt event is all it takes for your brain to shut out the world. I've thought of reaching out, but I don't think this woman would have even noticed if she were being haunted...
