Beautiful written and so true! I feel like I have become a “reluctant activist” where it can feel like a battle to keep showing up with compassion and integrity, to have the hard conversations, but with kindness and empathy, but its one that's worth fighting.

“Reluctant activist” is a great term for it. I didn’t think I’d need to stand up in defense of compassion and integrity quite so often, but I don’t think I can refuse it when the opportunity when it arrives.

Ha! Yeah? That is a remarkable coincidence. Makes me wonder overlap in our worlds made us think of Camus at the same time.
