There are a lot of people, a lot of good people, in the fandom who are hurting in various ways. I know or know of a fair number of them. They lost their job(s), they are losing their homes, they are in really shitty situations and need out. I want to help, I do help where I can. But I have limits.
It has been painful to realize that I cannot help everyone, I cannot save everyone. I do not like to see good people get hurt. I cannot save the world, I can help some people. How do I choose? I don't know.
I will keep doing what I can. But my resources are limited.
Why am I posting this? Because my desire to help outstrips my ability to do so. I'm sorry, I can't help everyone. I'm sorry.
I feel this particular sentiment all too well... being a content creator and artist myself I used to at one point be more reliant upon others for supplemental income with artwork I made.. and now I can be more able to take on commissions as I feel I am able and not because I am compelled to... and this is much healthier for me... I'm not worried about my next meal... I can enjoy creation for the pure sake of it now and be more freed to enjoy doing work for others. :3
