Dear 2030 version of Jesus,

Dear 2030 Me.

Wassup Chuy! How’s life been! I hope you remember 2019 me as a sophomore in Ventura High School. I hope you’re still alive :I. I hope you’re still healthy good-looking, and have accomplished our goal of being a Civil-Engineer. Or maybe you are playing guitar as a requintista in DEL Records, I don’t know. Haha probably not but I hope you are still practicing, and are really good by now. I hope Earth is still habitable by then and that life is as equally sustainable, and that conditions are rather improving rather than getting worse than it is in 2019. I hope you are doing great decisions and, welp, have me the correct girl by then. I am currently in fourth period, am a sophomore, in English class, and already have some tips for you, from things I hope you remember and hope that you never forget.

I want you, to regardless of your situations, keep moving forward! If you are facing a bad situation, entonces a chingarle. Don’t be a coward, and respect your family, have a healthy relationship with everybody, resist temptations of the flesh, and travel. I want you to be just like my primos currently are, living the good life, traveling, hosting parties, and are rich. Be like them. Do not do drugs, but I mean, drinking is fine I guess bro, no más cuando estés con los compas. I hope that if you have kids by 2030, or have not yet but are going to sometime soon, that you are the coolest dad, but do not make similar mistakes as your role as a father as you saw in 2019. Make sure our children have not lost Mexican traditions, and make sure they do know spanish fluently. That’s how I like it. Take care Jesus, y un ultimo consejo te voy a dar, si una no vale la pena, entonces a la próxima. XD Ya sabes. Hay te dejo Chuy, there’s only 5 minutes of class left. Te cuidas mucho, y cuidame a mis viejos.

More Messages to the Future

 

To older Rochelle,

You should’ve reduced your carbon footprint, should be using some source of renewable energy and be a vegetarian by now.

 

Anya,

All you can do is your best. You can encourage the same in others. You can admit your mistakes and those of your ancestors. You can learn from them, and help however you can. I’ll do the same. I promise.

 

Olá minha querida filha Julia,

Muita Coragem e força para você enfrentar todos os desafios que virão, pois são com eles que crescemos.

 

Dear Rosie,

But when you are reading this years from now, by the light of a solar powered lamp, know that your dad, mom and millions of others who burned brightly with love for our kids did what we could, when we knew the stakes.

 

To My Future Children,

Most importantly, I hope you live in a world where science is taken seriously and fact is clearly distinguished from fiction.

 

Dear Llewyn, beloved grandson …

I can only say that I devoted myself to doing as much as I could to make it better, to provide for a just transition, and to fight those forces that continued to exploit the Eaarth with extractive methods, methods that always also included oppressing some people–because those doing the oppression believed that they were better and deserved more.

 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to pick up trash at every beach I visit 🙂 and to bike for local errands.

 

Dear Child,

Hope we get to have that snowball fight I always dreamed we’d have.

 

Dear Tomorrow,

I’ll buy only food that I plan to eat before it spoils.

 

Dear Kai and Leah,

I want you to feel awestruck like I do. It is important to feel small sometimes, to feel the weight of reality, to recognize the scale of a challenge, to see where you fit and what you are up against. This is the case with climate change.

 

My dearest Paloma Bear,

I want the very best for you and for generations to come. There is only one planet earth. Your mommy and I will make a genuine effort to make an impact to protect it for you.

 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to ditch all the natural gas and go all electric with my home!
