“This is perhaps the cruelest feature of the performing self: it makes us lonely in the very moments designed for connection. We are in the room, but we are not truly with the people in it. We are managing our image while they manage theirs, and the real meeting — the one that would actually nourish us — never quite happens.” — Ayisha Bhatti
