Dear future self,

Hello dev,

I hope you are still doing okay out into whatever year you get this letter. Right now we are in our first year of college, we are still with Dom and we are a little unsure about the future. But that is not important right now, I just promise I will help so the world you know is better. The climate is changing and life is getting scary but I will make a promise to try to help out when I can. I am a bit lazy right now and slow to make huge changes in my life but I promise once I get a better mental state, I will work so hard for you. Not only will I work hard for your future, more importantly for the kids I plan to have. I hope when you get this you are raising beautiful children with Dom. I want a better world for them more than anything. I promise to live sustainably  and take care of myself and the planet to the best of my ability.

love,

Devin from 2019

More Messages to the Future

 

Dear humankind of today and tomorrow,

I do wish to contribute as much as I can, maybe even start a ripple effect, where other people will start taking action too and inspire other people too.

 

My darling Cassidy,

I know I need to write this to you, and I don’t want to because it makes me so sad. I have been desperately avoiding my feelings about climate change, for many years, but especially and with greater intensity every year since you were born.

 

Paz e bem

Vivamos a vida com intensidade, Não nos importando a localidade.

 

Queridos filhos Heloísa e Henzo,

Tenho muito orgulho da minha função (agente de fiscalização ambiental do Acre) pois é através dela que posso dar um pouco do meu suor, para que no futuro ambos possam ter um lugar melhor para viver.

 

Dear Daughter,

I want you to be prepared for the world that the generations before you are creating for you. I love you Lucienne, and I will not give up. I will push you and teach you not to give up, either, even if others around you do.

 

Dear Erica and Matthew,

I want you to be able to bring your kids to Tahoe and experience the same clarity that you had as a child.

 

Dear Future Sami Lee,

Everyone currently in life laughs and yells save the bees. We were a bee this year for Halloween and Lucy even came up with a great slogan “get with it honey”.

 

Dear Tomorrow,

And, if this summer has taught me anything, I am content (because I have to be) living in this limbo, this seemingly endless waiting for the opportunity to change, when really the opportunity exists within our very selves all along.

 

To my fellow adventurers,

Don’t stop looking for adventures.

 

Dear Victoria, sugar pie honey bunch, chiquita loquita,

How can I look at your bright eyes and light dance and tell you we are facing a war?

 

Dear Sinchi,

The world is changing and it is happening fast.

 

Dear Sander,

I pray that you are having a happy life and that you have contributed each year of your life into helping to make our planet healthy, cleaner, thriving and greener- a better place for all people and animals to live.
