Honestly, I've always had long hair, in my pre-secondary days. That's probably why I'd always been compared to freaking Violet Parr from The Incredibles movie, by my parents and cousins when I was younger and by workmates when I grew older.
It was almost always the hair. How my hair covered my face, just like hers did. Then I got my glasses and chopped off my hair when I was in sec 2, which helped me lose the resemblance to her.
Last night I got compared again, the last time being in 2011 when I think I didn't look that much like her anymore. The comparison this time was by one of my Heroine family members.
And then I had a sudden realisation: it wasn't just the hair anymore. If you remember, Violet's powers were invisibility and the ability to conduct force fields.
Doesn't that sound like me, and most of us these days? Invisibility, how I'm always hiding away from people and away from others' eyes. Not getting any attention. Force fields, how I have the tendency to build walls around me to protect myself from others. Throw anyone off their feet if they get too close.
Sounds exactly like me. And sounds like Violet had had these weaknesses of hers as her powers as well. Impressive. Can we be like that?
