To future self,

Today we live in a world that revolves around money and power. Those who don’t have these two privileges lack a voice to be heard. As life on this planet exists today, nature is slowly but progressively disappearing. Certain species are becoming extinct, sea levels are rising, and temperatures are increasing at an exponential rate. This is clearly a problem but why do people not address it? Yes, there are many problems occuring in the world right now but is climate change insignificant? How can these so called “more important” issues be addressed if there is a possibility of no tomorrow?

I hope you are living in a better, cleaner world. I hope people have realized that we are the ones causing the problems that we claim not to be ours. I hope endangered species such as pandas and tigers are growing in number. Lastly, I hope we convert to a renewable energy world.

Dear Amara and Uma,

Maybe you heard about bats? Bats, the carriers of this disease that spread among us like wild fire. I love bats. When I was your age today, sitting in the evening on the back terrace of your grandparent’s home in Ibiza, hundreds of bats would play, dance and sing among the trees.
 

Dear Elliot and Alana,

But being truthful, I know we are not yet on the path that will lead to the change that is needed; but it is visible.

We had a lot in common obviously, and our concern for the planet we live on was one of the many things we bonded over.
