The deconstruction of Eliz
22 parts Complete MatureWhen you see someone act outside of what you consider normal, do you judge or help them? How does an grown up who grew up in a world not conditioned for her behave? How does bullying affect adulthood?
Eliz struggles with anxiety and feels disconnected from others. As a result, she imagines a fantasy world that serves as a parallel to her own, where she has everything she cannot attain in real life. Her lack of experiences is leaving her with doubts about neurodiversity, depression, her sexuality, and the loneliness that comes from her introversion.
Eliz struggles to find the strength to face a world where people do not see her as human and project their insecurities onto her. This lack of empathy results in an unequal opportunity for those like her who think and express themselves differently.
Clinging to her "antidotes" as she calls them: a furbaby named Sky, music, chocolate, and Netflix, without a support system around her, she uses all the stories she sees on the screens as a compass in her life and hopes to get the same result. Because if it works on TV, why not for her? She expresses what she can't convey through words in her mind by using analogies of TV characters or songs.
Eliz ponders whether there's a place for her, viewing life through the lens of a mother who had to raise her alone and a sister who resembles a model from a magazine. A friend who is more of a friend when both are doing badly and a job she got because of dropping out of college. Add being monosyllabic, withdrawn and a boss she doesn't know how to talk to because she "thinks" she's interested in him, but what does she do with that?
Come in and look at the mess in her head, hidden behind a desk answering phones. Eliz is repetitive and full of insecurities. She is afraid of her shadow, kind of crazy, but with a good heart.
Are you ready to see the world through her eyes? Be patient with her and give her a chance.
