Happy to have you back online. Although I'm sorry to hear about your trip to Trinidad.
When I was in the Yucatan a friend asked me what he should do to try and protect his kids against climate change. I answered him honestly and told him he should move.
It's really f'ing hard to tell someone where they live has no future. That if they stay there, they have no future.
This last hurricane made me realize I cannot do that anymore. I feel like Cassandra and it's gut wrenching to see things happen.
I just found out a few days ago that someone I have been exchanging emails with for years died during the hurricane. From flooding.
He was going to move as soon as his elderly cat died. He knew she probably wouldn't survive a relocation and he just couldn't do that.
I have no words for how to feel about this. How to grieve for someone I met online and exchanged emails with.
It feels like the lights are starting to dim.
It sounds like you are having that feeling these days.
