ABSTRACT
There are always “others” who have been exiled. You are never really alone though it certainly feels that way. It’s important to find the others in exile and band with them. Some days exile is fine, it keeps you out of the fray, but other days it’s hard because exile is a way to be invisible and visible. No one talks to you but some are talking about you. You hear your name come up in random conversations referencing people you’ve never spoken to. It’s strange. You would think adults would come to work and just work then leave. Instead there’s tons of emotional labor.
