Sth cold that robs a part of you and leaves you cold and empty

The protagonist’s obsessed with how her body looks to others. Men always make comments of what we shouldn’t care about. Body hair. What a meaningless struggle when we already have to deal with so many other complex details of ourselves as women. Ingrown hair ends up to be an important creation of the mc’s. She’s finally the author of sth.

Saying goodbye to a former, gentler, younger life. Being an adult and having to parent your own mother is what changes when you grow old. That becomes your whole life. You don’t know what the feeling of a soft touch is anymore.

Even haunted dolls are not as wicked as men.

Protagonist’s jealousy of her boss’s happiness and perfect life takes all the space in her thoughts. She’s also obsessed by the “black spot” where ppl have had car accidents for years. She can’t stop hearing a “beep” in her car, telling her the seatbelt isn’t on, though hers is; she’s so troubled by all this that she doesn’t realise. She’s not alone in the car.

The haunting presence of the mc’s stillborn baby girl in the “pearls” that are inside of her left breast

« Hen » explores the femininity that all women feel the need to be a part of but could disappoint. The head and the heart are torn apart, as for the mc to be at the same time at her engagement party and thinking about hair, hair she found in her bathroom that doesn’t belong to her at all, hair which signifies cheating.

Interesting how a single string of hair can plant seeds of doubt into one’s mind, and sweep all the safe truths away. A single string of hair is never alone.

An anorexic girl who is told a quite mystical story about a disabled woman being her great grandparents’ slave. Thanks to Love, she entirely recovers and can walk again, be happy again. One hopes that the girl is destined to meet the same fate, to meet Love, and to recover from anorexia, that she has had since she was a child.

The story of a kid’s fear of sth that lingers inside of her, linked to the dark, the night, I guess; as she feels the need to crawl into her mother’s arms at night, in order to escape Pebbles. Peebles who everyone thinks is an imaginary friend whereas the mother is worried about it. Peebles turns out to be “real” in its own way. Monsters prove to be real in adults world, in addition of men, violent men.
