   Maybe I'm alone in this... There's just been a certain element of the response to latest chaos that has made me feel like a sinner. Like I have sinned by not fighting the system with my every breath. Like if I'm not doing all the things, it's a sin.

   I'm a sinner because I should be getting involved with my community, and not having energy or time & having other things going on & just trying to survive each day is not good enough.

   I think that's my baggage though.

     I think this is what's really killing me right now. I'm terrified of the future, and it feels like the "right" choice would be to immediately dedicate myself to activism and do nothing but fight and struggle for the rest of my life and that if I won't or can't do that, I am a failure of a human being, weak and apathetic and uncaring.

     Hilariously I would probably say if asked that "no, I don't really experience religious guilt," but it turns out that is a lie.

     So... Is it true that not everyone believes that they must constantly make the most moral choices, always be sweet and kind, always help when asked, and never burn out or give up even for a moment?
