Dear FutureMe,
Happy Birthday! How does it feel to be 19 years old? It´s now over a year, since you´ve been to japan, had romances til you thought you can´t feel anything. Did it change? On one hand I hope it did, I dream of having a happy life with another person. Sharing happy moments, as well as the bad ones. Did you overcome your fear of judgement? I really hope so, because you are so wonderful and not dependent on the opinions of others! Deep inside you know, that people like you. No matter what your Brain tries to tell you. How is Beethoven? I plan to spend a lot of time with him the next year, just as I want to with my family. I know it´s not easy to meet them all at once, but when you do something with only one or two of them, it´s real fun!
I plan to really invest in school this year. How does it feel to be near the finish line?
Now to a bit of a deeper topic. The worldwide political situation is really scaring me. Israel is bombing Gaza to the ground, wanting to annihilate a whole population. And there is nothing I can do to help the people, when all they have is the support from other humans and countrys. In the USA the republics are getting stronger any day, using their power to suppress the rights of minoritys in such disturbing ways. The situation in Germany is also getting worse every month. All the parties are tending more and more to the right side, die Linke isn´t commited to the class war and everything is breaking apart. The discurs started, if a military conscription should be reintroducted. I´m scared for everyone I know, that would be affected. But especcially for my Brother. I don´t know if i can hope anymore. But hope is everything we have. If we don´t hope, we won´t try to change everything to the better. Without hope, nothing can be achieved anymore. So all we can do is hope. Hope that maybe someone can save us. Save us from this system that is exploiting human life. That saviour isn´t going to be one singular person. We all are the saviour. And to be that, we have to organize. So please, even if it´s hard, never be silent. Stand up, even if it´s exhausting. Open your eyes, to see injustice, even if it doesn´t affect you, STAND UP! Deep down you know, this is your purpose. Also never forget to care for yourself. If you are broken, you cant help others. Take days off if needed. It´s okay. Reach out to people you trust. It´s okay. Express your feelings, hopes and worries. It´s okay. Be angry. It´s okay. Just never, ever, let anyone push you down. Stay LOUD.
Also never forget: you are loved.
Yours sincerely,
PastYou
