Dear future me,

I hope that the future is better than the present. I hope that we all learn to coexist and love one another. I hope we can learn to look past our differences and just let each other live the best life we can. I hope we allow ourselves to let go of our fears and just do what makes us happy. I hope that there isn’t as much suffering in the world. I hope that you yourself have learned to be happy and let go of everything that has been holding you back. I hope that the people who are in your life right now are the same ones I refuse to let go. I hope that you have finally decided to following your dreams. I hope you’re good. I hope that there are still polar bears, elephants, tigers, sharks and everything in between and that our children or grandchildren don’t have to learn about them the way we learned about mammoths or dinosaurs. I hope that every type of flower still exists because I know how much you love flowers. I hope that you can still look up at the sky when you go back home and see it full of stars, you always loved that. I hope that we learned to love this world the way it loves us.

More Messages to the Future

 

My darlings, Juno & Vaeda,

You ask insightful questions, and together we learn about the mysterious world we inhabit.
 

Dear Brady,

I will work everyday to combat climate change for your today, for your tomorrow!
 

Dear future child whatever your name is,

Climate change right now is really bad, I’m writing this during the COP26 conference in Glasgow (which is an hour away) and I’m listening to politicians talking about promises for the future. “If we fail, future generations will never forgive us.” -Boris Johnson
 

To my children,

I am working with 350.org on shutting down the coal and unconventional gas industries in our country because I cannot think of a more direct way to protect you, the food, water and biodiversity we all love and rely on.
 

To my great-great grandchildren,

I don’t know your name
or even if you’re alive,
but I’m doing all I can
to make sure you survive.

I’m your great- great grandmother
who lived a century ago
in a world far different
from the one you must know.
 

Dear future me,

If we don’t stop cutting down trees for agriculture and to build houses then the future generations will not think about trees when they hear the word Earth.
 

Dear Evan,

What has most inspired me to act is wanting to be able to look you in the eye and say, “When I became aware of the existential threat of climate change, I did all I could.”  Despite my pessimism, I act in the hope it can make a difference for future generations and all the precious life on our fragile planet.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to work with my family and neighbors to reduce carbon output.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to change the culture of my school.
 

Dear future 82-year old me,

29 years later, I wish I still can ride bike and go some lovely places in nature. Sky is blue and air is fresh, I will be shining under the sun.
 

To what we’ve overcome.

The first step would be in overcoming ourselves. Because whether we end up fading into obscurity, or thriving in prosperity, we will overcome ourselves.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I am so sorry we didn’t realize this predicament sooner.
