#I'm not even just talking volunteering I mean like... actually working for a halfway decent charity

[cinnabuntastic]

I feel like, much in the same way that a lot of people on Tumblr feel like everyone should work food service/retail for a period of time, the same should really apply for charity work.

I've worked in charity for over two years now, and you don't realize how hard it is, even on the back end. People are scared, they're angry, they're hurting over things they can't control, and you're a shoulder to cry on and an easy captive target for misplaced anger all in one breath. It weighs on you, and you can never really put it down.
