I've always been fascinated by the stories people carry in their eyes. You know that moment when someone is talking about something ordinary, but their eyes light up with a memory they're not sharing out loud? That's what I watch for. I collect these glimpses of inner worlds — the way someone's gaze softens when they remember something sweet, or how their pupils dilate slightly when they're genuinely excited. Most people don't realize how much their eyes reveal, but I've made it my quiet study. There's an entire language happening there that words can never quite capture, and I find myself drawn to understanding it.
