Thinking about what I can do to build stronger community and be prepared for those who will need my help and each other. Knowing I'm met some wonderful people like you gives me hope. Although I also am terrified of the unknown and not sure if I'll keep my job or not (which means it affects my living situation etc), I have hope critical and collective consciousness will grow when all the contradictions are revealed. By rooting my efforts in my events (People Puff Politics), I strive to make a space where people can meet each other, make connections, share space to talk about issues, dismantle oppressive system and actively CREATE the future we want. We are the change we want, and I'm coping by planning for future sessions so we can grow stronger communities. Along with that project, I am making it a goal to learn how to be a better plant parent and know how to prepare healthier soil to plant edible herbs.

I feel like both in my creation of People Puff Politics and my desire to see plants grow, I'm in the stage of making the bed and preparing soil to ensure the seeds I plant have more opportunity. I think seeing a seed grow into a plant is another thing that gives me hope. So long as seeds can grow into plants, trees, and flowers, there is hope for earth ✨
