I’ve been Alice. I had some experiences within EA that lead me to take a year long EA-leave. When I left I did not know for how long, and if I would come back. This was defiantly the right thing for me to do. If you’re Alice and you feel you need to take a step back, then you are probably correct. Even if you can’t exactly articulate why, you are probably correct. If the EA network is net positive for you and your work, then you will be back.
