No one's going to hold fire to your feet to make you do more. Maybe with a few months off, you'll feel a need to get involved again. (Don't stop blogging, though!) I do wish there would be another Sex2.0 conference since I'm going to miss this one! The reason we feel like we haven't done enough is because positive change hasn't happened yet. That's going to take a while and requires a lot of energy from everyone. And like Snowdrop said, just offering emotional support to those who are facing the negativity means a lot. That's doing something even if it's not obvious to the outside world. XX You’ve done a lot already. No one’s going to hold fire to your feet to make you do more.

Why, I'd even say they were entitled to it. I have this theory…one needs to take care of themselves first, and even the most dogged activist deserves liberal doses of that thing known as FUN.

It sounds as though you've reached the limits of your ability, so yes - you've done your bit, and now it's someone else's turn to face the "negativity and roadblocks and hurdles". And after all, you can cheer from the sidelines and that helps, too. Take a break, and come back once you're ready to take on the world again!
