and the other sisters laugh playfully at this attempt at education, but Kendall sinks into the couch, holding her dog with one arm and holding her face with the other. The camera zooms in on her expression as she tries to make herself smaller and smaller, her face alternating between embarrassment and exhaustion. In an attempt to make her more comfortable, the sisters decide it would be a good idea to watch Kendall’s birth video.
When Kendall mentions that she locks her writing away so that no one can see it, I ask, “literally?” She says, “Yeah, it’s like an old-fashioned diary. It has a lock on it and I hide it, I lock it away: mine is so, so secretive. I’m like, ‘No one can ever get this.’” A natural reaction, you’d imagine, from someone who has spent a lifetime dealing with prying and invasive questioning, and who has been constantly forced to share intimate moments from her life on TV whether she wants to or not.
As a result of the kind of attention Kendall receives, she’s learned to keep certain things private and sacred. Kendall says physical activity is another form of therapy for her, whether she’s working out with her trainer, going to pilates, riding her horses, or going on a walk with her dog. “I think I feel really good mentally when I feel really good physically,” she says. Kendall also meditates and is interested in the effects of sound healing.
