I see it as symbolic. The label no longer fits. His emotional parsimoniousness just got sucked away by the beautiful blue sky. I lean forward and reach my hand behind my back, then take my sign off, and I toss it out the window, too. I am no longer an ex-stripper's daughter, either. I have gone from invisible Vera Dietz to invincible Vera Dietz. A.S. King
About This Quote

When a person is no longer dependant on a label, they have a higher chance to succeed. It is easy to become invisible when you are no longer associated with a certain job or title. The idea of being invisible is something that really bothers people who have been identified with a certain identity. In the case of the stripper, she was not invisible, she was just discarded. She was considered as an unwanted add-on, which made it easier for her to leave the job and start over from scratch.
