One thing I’ve learned in my 20s is that no one is going to tell you (individual) that it’s your time, it’s your turn to take action. There’s no ritual of any kind, there’s no notification telling you that “hey, YOU are now the helper Mister Rogers was talking about” or whatever. Progressively, the weight on your shoulders just gets heavier. One day you just wake up and realize it’s you and your community with no cavalry coming. It’s your responsibility now.
