The Unseen | Hansa Omur (11)

What is the unseen? The unseen is the part of our lives that no one but us sees. 

The unseen is our feelings. All the times where you felt lonely but couldn't tell anyone because they just wouldn’t understand. All the times you feared the future. All the times you feared the possibility of not being accepted. All the times you feared that you weren’t good enough. All the times you felt so anxious but couldn’t tell anyone because you just didn’t want to explain. You just wanted to look perfect. But it’s not all bad. Some of the best times of our lives happen when we are alone. All the times you felt at peace because you finally felt satisfied with your day. All the times you felt happy when you blasted your favorite music in your headphones and danced like there is nothing else in the world. All the time you spent doing what you love because it just made you feel like the best person in the world. All the times you lay down and think about how far you have come and how proud you are of yourself. All these small moments are what makes us human.


The unseen is the actions we take when no one is watching. All the times you go out of your way to make someone else happy just because their smile is the best thing you can ever receive. All the time you spend working on a goal that seems impossible. All the effort you put into the gifts because you can’t express how much you appreciate that person with just one. All the times you change up your routine so you can spend just a little more time with that person. Maybe people do see that you put in so much effort. But in your heart, you don’t do all of these small sacrifices because you want people to see it. You do it because you love them. And that is what it means to be human.


Whether it’s our feelings that we don’t share with anyone in the world or our actions that we do thinking no one is watching, all of these unseen moments are the parts of our lives that we keep hidden. Maybe we don’t want people to know how we feel just so we fit societal norms. So we keep them hidden. But maybe, we don’t want people to ruin the special moments just with ourselves. So we keep them hidden. The unseen is what makes everyone unique. The unseen is what makes everyone so beautiful. The unseen is what makes everyone human.
