I wanted to stop being interpreted for a while

Dear Delyara, Even kind interpretation can be tiring. What did you mean? You seem quiet. You don’t sound like yourself. Are you okay? You looked tired. You seem off. Some days I want no emotional reading of me at all. Not because I want disconnection. Because I don’t want to be turned into an object of observation before I have even finished being a subject in my own experience. Today I wanted privacy without disappearance. That feels like a very modern form of longing.
