The Unseen
The rule
You may have learned that if you were doing the work right, people would notice, and that not being seen means you're not doing enough.
Traditionally echoed in Hades' helm, which in Greek myth grants literal invisibility to whoever wears it.
For you
Where have you stopped trying to be seen, and what did that cost?
- Area of life
- Work, reputation and how you’re seen
- Systems behind it
- Class, Patriarchy, Colonialism and white supremacy, Systems not built for neurodivergent minds
