Thank you for your hard work, Megan. Being a social worker sounds hard in itself to me. I think it’s extremely generous and impressive that in addition to that you volunteer, and donate, and are vegan. That does sound exhausting, even without the community dramas that feel kind of incessant at the moment.
It feels really tiring to me too. EA itself feels tiring. It’s tiring that there’s always more to do and that I could always be prioritising harder and helping others more. A thing that makes that bearable to me is working together—having a community supporting each other other in trying to do good but also giving each other a break. It feels horrid to instead have people angry at each other, and getting fire from outside the community too. I hope your local community is supportive. I hope you guys are able to help each other to focus on the good and to take breaks, and deeply care about each other, while you’re all improving the lives of others. I hope some of the appreciative, caring messages people have left in response to this post have helped the burden feel a little lighter.
