I have to travel tomorrow because when I was asked if I was okay with traveling, I said yes even though the risk-calculation part of my brain that has been constantly humming along since 2020 would have preferred that I did not. I'm traveling for a cause that I am only a small part of, and that I could have just as easily participated in through technology, but I still said yes when asked if I would travel. I know that my physical presence makes no difference in the outcome, but I know nobody else in my immediate cohort would accept this call, so it falls to me as the one who instigated it all in the first place. I am traveling because I am me, and this is who I choose to be.
lol how melodramatic, you’re already trying to figure out how to volunteer for more responsibility and duties so you can be weepy about it later
