In torn between following my dreams and dedicating my life to attempting to help the climate crisis by going to school and inventing some tech to help

and giving up entirely, coasting through life with my stable government job, and drinking to forget until the day I hang myself...

This world is fucked, should I even try? Or should I just hope in reincarnation?

Seeing how we’ve known about it for decades and this is the amount of progress we’ve made towards slowing/fixing it… idk maybe I’m just being cynical, then again Covid really showed us just how much the general public doesn’t care about their well-being and other’s wellbeing

I had a slight glimmer of hope at the start of covid-19, when people were dazed and confused and isolating and waiting for a vaccine. At the very start, I actually thought humanity is proving we're not that bad.

The rest is history now.
