leadership
leadership is exhausting. for the past 10 years, i have been in positions of leadership within pretty much every organization i have been a part of. when you're a leader, you take shots from all sides. from below, from above, from the side. still, even knowing this, it doesn't make it easier. and when you're in a group that supposedly has some ideological underpinnings and ideas to bring people together, it seems that these shots you take are that much more personal and serious.
