An excerpt characterizing Sorokin, Elena Gennadievna

True, sometimes all this information manifested itself in a very funny form - I suddenly began to see very vivid images of places and people unfamiliar to me, as if taking part in it myself. “Normal” reality disappeared and I remained in some kind of “closed” world from everyone else, which only I could see. And so I could remain for a long time, standing in a “pillar” somewhere in the middle of the street, not seeing anything and not reacting to anything, until some frightened, compassionate “uncle or aunt” began to shake me, trying to somehow lead me to feel, and find out if everything is okay with me...
Despite my early age, I already (from my own bitter experience) understood perfectly well that everything that was constantly happening to me, for all “normal” people, according to their usual and customary standards, seemed absolutely abnormal (although regarding “ normality” I was ready to argue with anyone even then). Therefore, as soon as someone tried to help me in one of these “unusual” situations, I usually tried to convince them as quickly as possible that I was “absolutely fine” and that there was absolutely no need to worry about me. True, I was not always able to convince, and in such cases it ended with another call to my poor, “reinforced concrete-patient” mother, who after the call naturally came to pick me up...
This was my complex and sometimes funny childhood reality in which I lived at that time. And since I had no other choice, I had to find my “bright and beautiful” even in what others, I think, would never find it. I remember once after my next unusual “incident”, I sadly asked my grandmother:
– Why is my life so different from everyone else’s?
Grandmother shook her head, hugged me and quietly answered:
– Life, my dear, consists of a tenth of what happens to us and nine-tenths of how we react to it. React cheerfully, baby! Otherwise, at times it can be very difficult to exist... And what is different is that at the beginning we are all different in one way or another. You will just grow and life will begin to “tailor” you more and more to general standards, and it will depend only on you whether you want to be the same as everyone else.
And I didn’t want to... I loved my unusual colorful world and would never trade it for anything. But, unfortunately, every beautiful thing in our life is very expensive and we need to really love it very much so that it doesn’t hurt to pay for it. And, as we all know very well, unfortunately, you always have to pay for everything... It’s just that when you do it consciously, you remain satisfied with free choice, when your choice and free will depend only on you. But for this, in my personal opinion, it is truly worth paying any price, even if it is sometimes very expensive for oneself. But let's get back to my fasting.
Two weeks had already passed, and I still, much to my mother’s chagrin, did not want to eat anything and, oddly enough, physically I felt strong and absolutely wonderful. And since I looked, in general, quite well then, I gradually managed to convince my mother that nothing bad was happening to me and, apparently, nothing terrible was in danger for me yet. This was absolutely true, as I truly felt great, except for that “oversensitive” mental state that made all my perceptions maybe a little too “naked” - the colors, sounds and feelings were so vivid that it sometimes it became difficult to breathe. I think this “hypersensitivity” was the reason for my next and yet another “incredible” adventure...

At that time, it was already late autumn and a group of our neighboring children gathered in the forest after school to pick the last autumn mushrooms. Well, naturally, as usual, I decided to go with them. The weather was unusually mild and pleasant. The still warm rays of the sun jumped like bright bunnies across the golden foliage, at times seeping down to the ground and warming it with the last farewell warmth. The elegant forest greeted us in its festively bright autumn attire and, like an old friend, invited us into its tender embrace.
My beloved, gilded in autumn, slender birches, at the slightest breeze, generously dropped their golden “leaves-coins” to the ground and did not seem to notice that very soon they would be left alone with their nakedness and would bashfully wait for spring will again dress them in their annual delicate attire. And only the stately, evergreen spruces proudly shook off their old needles, preparing to become the only decoration of the forest during the long and, as always, very colorless winter. Yellow leaves rustled quietly underfoot, hiding the last russula and milk mushrooms. The grass under the leaves was warm, soft and moist and seemed to invite one to walk on it...
As usual, I kicked off my shoes and walked barefoot. I always loved walking barefoot everywhere, whenever the opportunity arose!!! True, these walks very often had to be paid for with a sore throat, which sometimes lasted quite a long time, but, as they say, “the game was worth the candle.” Without shoes, my feet became almost “sighted” and there was a particularly acute feeling of freedom from something unnecessary that seemed to interfere with breathing... It was a real, incomparable little pleasure and sometimes it was worth paying for it.
