Proceed With Caution
It’s the end of the world as we know it, and I don’t feel fine. As a child, I saw the world as a place filled with pure happiness. It’s as though a bright, golden hue illuminated from everything I saw. I thought that no harm could fester in this paradise; everything and everyone was safe and always would be. I believe most children see the world this way, and it’s beautiful. Unfortunately, reality crushes that reverie as we grow older. For some, it’s a more intense and cruel reckoning than others. For me, the process was a gradual one as I grew up in a world seemingly crumbling to pieces as climate change progressively abused a society built on an unstable foundation.
