Your Body Is Speaking
You need the gaze. Not just sometimes, not just in special moments — but as a basic staple. When no one is looking, you feel as though you might disappear. So you make yourself visible: louder, more colourful, more dramatic, more seductive. You tell stories that are a little larger than life. You weep where others would only be sad. You laugh where others would only smile. You flirt where others politely nod. Every movement a small performance, every encounter a stage.
