Go Phantom

Definition of a phantom person:

An apparition or specter. an appearance or illusion without material substance, as a dream image, mirage, or optical illusion. a person or thing of merely illusory power, status, efficacy, etc.: the phantom of fear.

“Don’t go ghost, go phantom.”

Becoming/being a phantom: A person enduring emotional trauma decides to “go phantom”. Still being relevant and social, unlike “going ghost”, a phantom still holds his/her stigma about themselves. They don’t lose their status or communications with the outside world. A person loses themselves and decides to go phantom; their reality doesn’t feel real because of the emotional trauma they are enduring . They feel as if they are just in an allusion, their own reality feels distraught, and disturbed. But a phantom chooses to become a phantom to grow into what they plan to become. Their vision of themselves they choose to claim and compose of. Whatever a phantom’s dream or illusion is they will pursue it with consistent dedication and will. The phantom during this process find themselves again, and through time a phantom reconnects with their reality and doesn’t try to escape it, but endure it.

(A person going phantom is a person that feels broken or lost and chooses to find themselves again but not cut everyone off in the process. Humbly endures their struggle unlike ghosting.)
