Despite her hardships, she keeps looking for the bright side. In place of deep thought, there are dozens of passages dedicated to my body (weight gain in the recovery piece and lack of breasts in the junior high journal) and silly, petty issues of the day (hating hospital food versus fighting with frenemies).” CahalanĬahalan has a surprisingly generous sense of humor. In each, there's a stunning lack of insight and curiosity about myself. “There are surprising similarities between this diary and the diary I kept during junior high school. This sort of reverse thought will help her determine what her options are going forward. Whatever is wrong with her has been for sometime, so maybe she just needs to reframe the past to learn the truth. "You have to look backward to see the future."

She never married because she preferred to become the poet's lifelong companion and informal biographer. Wordsworth's only sister, Dorothy was one year his junior. He was born one of five children to a modest land lawyer. From his childhood onward, he invariably strove for economy, frequently from necessity, but always because of principle. In fact, he preferred humble surroundings and a minimum of personal effects. Like the American Thoreau, his philosophy was one rooted in simplicity of living, and like Thoreau, he sought always to practice it. Though he appreciated the intimacy of a small circle of friends, he consistently avoided any larger portion of society. The excitement in his life took place on the level of intellect he found ideas more exciting than any other thing. His personal history was just about as uneventful as his lack of movement would lead one to expect. ![]() He died in 1850 and was buried at Grasmere, Westmoreland, about twenty-five miles from his birthplace. Thus from the very beginning he was associated with that region which he loved more than any other, and except for brief sojourns in Britain, Germany, and Italy, he never left his beloved Lake Country. ![]() William Wordsworth was born on April 7, 1770, in Cockermouth, Cumberland, a small quiet market town in northwest England, on the edge of the Lake District. ![]() ![]() ![]() Slater wants to obey, he wants to submit, he wants to be told he’s good for doing the things he’s good at.
