It's hard. I work really hard for my tribe, and people do help out, but not as much as I really really need, and I'm getting burnt out because of it. I guess people don't see the bigger picture, and how communities need everyone to pitch in, even if it's in little amounts. I'm so grateful for the people who do help, but if I have a breath (gosh, a holiday from Steem might be nice) I worry it'll fall apart! We power up everything and give away lots of steem to support people. we encourage people and work soooo hard to raise funds. It's important you take a breather when you need, but also be consistent. Sometimes I think the big problem with this place is despite what people say, most people equate time with money - and if they're not getting the rewards they think they deserve, they drop off engagement and fall away completely. I wish people knew that their efforts MATTERED and they could help just by being here and commetning on a few posts a week, writing a decent post once a week - that'd help, wouldn't it?
