The Quiet Strength of Wanting Nothing
"When I Want Nothing, No One Can Make Me Sad Anymore" Some people don't suddenly become indifferent; rather, they are driven to it by repeated disappointments. The words you spoke, the expectations you set, and the things I once tried so hard to grasp—all eventually became the weight that crushed my heart. Then I understood: it wasn't that I wasn't good enough; it's just that I cared too much. The more you care, the easier it is to be shaken; the more you give, the easier it is to be hurt.

Great-Grandfather Eldridge’s Poetry
Recently, I learned that my great-grandfather, on my fathers side of the family, wrote quite a bit of poetry. A family member put together a book of his poetry. I had no idea until recently. It was such a wonderful pleasure connecting to his words, written so long ago! I had never met him because he died long before I was born. From what I’ve been told, his wife died during childbirth. It makes me wonder how similar I may be to some of my ancestors, in the fashion in which I reflect and write.
