I am getting your father on board too so that we can double charge this together.

It was 2020, the year I realized that life is fragile—not just mine, but the entire planet—through immense consumption, pollution, greediness, ignorance, false bliss. This wasn’t the way I wanted to live my life, so I promise to actively make the change.

Thank you — Thank you — without you, I would not hear butterflies singing, without you, I would not understand black bear humor, or the creativity of jays planning their breakfast, without you, I would not feel flora whispers of long-lived wisdom on the back of my neck while sitting in Padmasana.

I will fight for this cause and I will never ever give up because we, the youngsters, are the hope.

I will continue to work to make the Earth a cleaner and safer place for you to grow and explore.

I promise to be a knight in the campaign of truth seeking.

Estou esperando ansiosa sua chegada pra que a gente possa fazer muitas coisas boas juntos, uma delas, é cuidar bem do nosso planeta.

This is just the beginning. It’s the accrual of little seeds of change that will lead to the tree of revolution.

I promise to do my very best to educate your parents as best I can.

And I know life more fully because of you whom I live on through.
