Hi Marta! I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you for writing this. I feel I see myself in every word.. and that's on one hand a relief (I'm not the only one!) and on the other hand an alarm sign (I need to do something about it!).

Would love to know how did you deal with "closing" the spaces of voluntary work... I struggle a lot with "ending" those, specially because I love them even though I feel I'm starting to give more than I have.

Thank you!!

Hello Paz! I am sorry I missed your comment last May - probably was too busy recovering from burnout haha. Closing of the voluntary-run spaces was definitely tricky and there have been many things I wrestled with over the years. Most difficult was dealing with people's disappointment when it was expressed!

What about you?
