Sophie Kinsella _ Finding Audrey
You still want to know, don't you? You're still curious. I mean, I don't blame you. Here's the thing: does it matter exactly what happened and why those girls were excluded? It's irrelevant. It happened. Done. Over. I'd rather not go into it. We don't have to reveal everything to each other. That's another thing I've learned in therapy: it's OK to be private. It's OK to say no. It's OK to say, "I'm not going to share that." So, if you don't mind, let's just leave it there. I mean, I appreciate your interest and concern, I really do. But you don't need to pollute your brain with that stuff. Go and, like, listen to a nice song instead. MY SERENE AND LOVING FAMILY-FILM TRANSCRIPT INTERIOR.

Eye contact is a big deal. It's the biggest deal. Just the thought makes me feel sick, right down to my core. I know in my rational head that eyes are not frightening. They're tiny little harmless blobs of jelly. They're, like, a minuscule fraction of our whole body area. We all have them. So why should they bother me? But I've had a lot of time to think about this, and if you ask me, most people underestimate eyes. For a start, they're powerful. They have range. You focus on someone a hundred feet away, through a whole bunch of people, and they know you're looking at them. What other bit of human anatomy can do that? It's practically being psychic, is what it is. But they're like vortexes too. They're infinite. You look someone straight in the eye and your whole soul can be sucked out in a nanosecond. That's what it feels like. Other people's eyes are limitless and that's what scares me.

I feel a blinding shaft of terror, which I tell myself to ignore, as my brain will often try to send me messages that are untrue and I do not have to listen to them. This is lesson one at St. John's: your brain is an idiot.

Sophie Kinsella _ Finding Audrey
Il reparto pediatrico è in una grande clinica privata che si chiama St John e che paghiamo grazie all'assicurazione del papà. Ci ho passato sei settimane quando i miei genitori si sono resi conto che in me c'era veramente qualcosa che non andava. Il guaio è che la depressione non arriva con comodi sintomi tipo macchioline e febbre, perciò uno non se ne accorge subito. Continui a dire:"Sto benissimo" a tutti anche quando non stai bene per niente. Pensi che dovresti stare bene. Continui a chiederti:"Perché non sto bene?".

is, life is all about climbing up, slipping down, and picking yourself up again. And it doesn't matter if you slip down. As long as you're kind of heading more or less upwards. That's all you can hope for. More or less upwards.

About the Wi-Fi. Are you blind? Can you read, at all?" He points to a notice in the corner of the coffee shop, which is all about the Starbucks Wi-Fi code. Then he focuses on my dark glasses. "Are you blind? Or just subnormal?" "I'm not blind," I say, my voice trembling. "I was just asking. Sorry to bother you." "Fucking moron," he mutters as he starts tapping again. Tears are welling in my eyes, and as I back away, my legs are wobbly. But my chin is high. I'm determined I'm not going to dissolve. As I get back to the table, I force a kind of rictus grin onto my face. "I did it!

I'm sorry," says Linus."Don't be sorry," I say, almost aggressively. "You didn't say anything."Which is true. He didn't say anything. He stopped mid-sentence.Except that stopping mid-sentence is the worst thing people can do. It's, like, partially aggressive, because you can't take issue with anything they've said. You have to take issue with what you think they were going to say.Which they then deny.

But I've had a lot of time to think about this, and if you ask me, most people underestimate eyes. For a start they're powerful. They have range. You focus on someone thirty metres away, through a whole bunch of people, and they know you're looking at them. What other bit of human anatomy can do that?
