You said it all when you said: “Philanthropy talks a lot about systems change, but rarely about the people within those systems who are carrying the weight. People are expected to keep performing, producing, and persisting through burnout, especially if they don’t have the title, tenure, or institutional safety nets to fall back on.” It’s all an uphill battle — yet the boundaries you’re exhibiting here through this transparent, highly relatable “pivot” post (had to say it 😅) are gorgeous. The next org that gets you will be lucky to have you - grateful to have stumbled upon you here!
Thank you so much! I truly appreciate you seeing and affirming the heart of what I was trying to express. It is an uphill battle for sure, and so many of us are navigating it while trying to hold onto our values, well-being, and purpose. I’m so glad this resonated with you, and I’m equally grateful our paths crossed here!
Great reflections, Tirrea. This will resonate with so many who read it, because what you are experiencing is shared by a lot of people right now. I’ll spare you the cliché about rejection being redirection (though I think there’s so much truth there). Instead, I’ll just say this: I hope you don’t get disheartened. You’re on the right path, even if you cannot see where it is leading you. AND I'm looking forward to reading that piece about community philanthropy!!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m glad to have written something that I know will resonate with so many others. I’ll hold onto that reminder about being on the right path, even if it’s not fully clear yet. And I appreciate the encouragement around the community philanthropy piece. Can’t wait to share it soon!
This piece is definitely inspiring. I appreciate your realness and transparency that you write with. I feel you build a strong connection with your readers and I hope that you stay true to your writing style and who you are as a writer. I also like that even though your going through what your going through you still give encouragement to others that’s may be going through the same problems you are.
Thank you so much! I always try to show up honestly in my writing, so knowing it resonates and feels real to you is affirming. I appreciate your encouragement, and I definitely plan to stay true to myself and my voice :)
