Caring about something means it can hurt you. Not caring means nothing can really move you. Pick the risk.

Caring opens a door that things can come through, and closing it does keep them out, along with everything else. Numbness is not the absence of a cost, it is a different one, paid quietly over years as fewer and fewer things are able to reach you. Both options charge you something. Only one of them gives anything back.

Pick something to care about openly this week and let people see that you do. The risk is real, and the alternative is a life nothing can get into, which is its own kind of loss.
