“You know what I miss most about losing my eyesight?” I don’t answer because I’m not supposed to. “Looking people in the eye when I talk to them. Because looking people in the eye achieves many things. I can gauge if what they’re saying with their words aligns with how they really feel. Mouths can lie, but eyes can’t. There’s intimacy in eye contact. Not creepy level intimacy, but human level intimacy. You know what I like most about losing my eyesight?”
