Shrapnel happening to our most marginalized
groups and total fear of reprisal in speaking up.
Heck, I'm scared too. But more than fear of
personal ridicule, I fear the unmitigated glee of

As an empath, I struggle to find the words to articulate
my heartbreak for the rising toll of individual human
beings presently tangled in this risky, political power
play. Perhaps naively, I always envisioned progress as

ought to be in priding ourselves on protecting our most

basic ethics and equality-

This quote resonates deeply with me as I navigate my own journey of caring for my aging parents. As I step into this new role, I've realized that the emotional investment I have in their well-being doesn’t always translate into confidence or competence in the practical aspects of caregiving. Each day is a balance of love and logistical challenges, where the clear lines between support and responsibility often blur. It’s a reminder that it’s okay to not have all the answers just because our hearts are fully engaged.
