I relate a lot with feeling weird for recieving funds for EA work - the complicated dynamics of how weird it is EA folks value my time in contrast to my immediate environment.
A perspective of privilege changes how you think about agency, ability, having goals etc.
I hope despite all these struggles, you feel empowered to engage with this problem in whatever capacity you feel comfortable with. The value of this work might not be realised through your own triumphs but will be embedded in the successes of those who follow.
