Part of being an ally is being uncomfortable.

Part of being an ally is running the marathon.

Part of being an ally is holding on to hope that things can change.

I must find a way to be an ally in a sustainable way, where I am uncomfortable where I grow and understand the fight, but not miserable, so I am not crushed and cannot go on.

Making the world better is not always making the world happier, but making the world happier gives us room to breathe to make the world better.

Part of the trouble I have lately, in these contexts, is the sense that if I'm not giving more than I have and allowing myself to be crushed by it, then someone will tell me I'm not doing enough. That my own self isn't valued enough for its preservation to be of interest to anyone.

I think a lot of us are at this same point just now...
