Sometimes we get so caught up in our daily lives that it's easy to feel invisible at times. But if this invisibility starts to creep into our mood, emotions, and self esteem, it can be a big problem. When invisibility evolves from fleeting to normal, it also begs the question...what is the root of this feeling? And is it really due to external or internal circumstances? Take a deep breath and pop...
