I sort of tell myself that it’s probably that I just hate how people are under capitalism, but sometimes I wonder if I simply dislike being around people in general.

This is a wonderful distillation of my entire attitude.
@[email protected] I got family I love to bits and I’m also really glad I only see them like a couple times a year. It doesn’t mean I don’t really love them or wouldn’t drop everything to help them. But we all have our limits. I’d take a person who volunteers twice a month at a food bank for 20 years over somebody that does it every day for three months, burns out, and never comes back. We don’t need people to martyr themselves to prove they give a shit. Building a better world will be slow and steady, it’ll be unglamorous, and it’ll be (hopefully, ideally) boring as fuck. But that’s a good thing. And that gives us plenty of time to work on ourselves, self care and do what we need to be the best version of ourselves to each other.
