A (Slightly Distracted) Welcome

Hello, and welcome!

Make yourself comfy.

Snuggle under some blankets, maybe?

I personally am eating a bowl of Cheetos.

No matter the purpose you have on this blog(like me, you could simply be distracted by links...), I wish that you would leave with more hope than when you first arrived.

Unless you just watched a Netflix Documentary. Then I'm not so sure.


My site doesn't do too much, but if it led you here then I hope you are interested in being part of We are the Future.

DO NOT WORRY: being 'part' of WF DOES NOT include responsibility.

I am 97.3% sure of this.

Also... WF is a weird acronym. I should have planned better.


BACK TO SERIOUSNESS:

Our climate is worsening, there is a pandemic in our midst, there is unrest and fear across our world... There are so many reasons to feel scared and alone.

Fear seems to increase in me when I think of the world 'at large', with all its problems.

I feel so helpless.

And then there are so many things to do - to NOT make us feel helpless: go vegetarian, buy less, be healthy, educate yourself...

THAT pressure just makes me want to scream.

STOP TELLING ME STUFF, WORLD!

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!

We have SO MANY pressures, we have SO MUCH helplessness... and so we feel alone.

But I wish this would not be the case. I believe that on this site/blog/whatever, and outside of it also, if we can connect in our communal hopes for the future, meaningful change can occur.

There are ways to solve climate change, to improve these issues that seem so overwhelming when we face them alone. We've actually known about them for awhile, but they just seem so overwhelming. Together this can happen.

Together, too, we can work for meaningful change without the societal pressures to be fit, organized, successful, and impressive.

We are the future, each unique and beautiful and impressive.

So society can shut right up.

If you read this far, I hope that you feel at least a twinge of inspiration to change the problems weighing on your heart. I have no doubt, whoever you are, that you can do amazing things(that you are amazing things) - but together we can unite all our diverse and wonderful selves.

That, to me, is hopeful.

Best wishes,

Ky

Inspiration #2 - You First

Image
CARE FOR YOURSELF FIRST Without having your needs met, you cannot try to meet others' needs!  Sure, we often prioritize work over helping the environment - whatever seems most pressing is what we choose to address - but that isn't meeting your needs. Meeting your needs is taking time to be present and think about what is best for your body, brain and mind. Work exists as a way to prove yourselves to others and challenge yourself but at core it is not what makes your life meaningful.  🌟😊✨ It can help make your life meaningful, but that does not mean that it is what you need at every point of the day.  Work can be helpful, but that doesn't mean that without work you would be any less important. At core we are alive without work, without stress, without looking a certain way.  And you addressing your stresses and anxieties can allow you to find a place of calmness😌 and truth from which we can actually make positive sustainable change in our lives.  T...

Inspiration #3 - Project BLUME

Image
PROJECT BLUME a project for climate change with a really awesome acronym as title. What is Project BLUME? A challenge - but a challenge that is more of an invitation.  You do not have to be involved in this wonderful project - and you are just as wonderful without it. This challenge is a daily choice to make climate conscious habits.  The acronym 'BLUME' stand for: B uy L earn U se M ove E at These verbs(buy, learn, use, move, eat) show us the five main ways humans negatively affect the environment: Buying products made through lots of environmentally harming manufacturing phases and transportation;  Learning  about things other than how to help climate change and ignoring it;  Using fossil fuel energy, or energy, trees and water in a not-sustainable way;  Moving in airplanes and cars and emitting fossil fuels;  Eating red meat, palm oil, and foods that use a lot of space and emit a lot of greenhouse gasses.  How does it work? A) Every Sunday...
