Dear World,

We are all facing really tough moments right now. Since the beginning of the year, we have been exposed to a lot of changes that have not only afected our lives, but also the way we see the world. Ever since we’ve been stuck at home during lockdown, challenges have always come to us. Every month a new obstacle appears, making everything more difcult to handle. In a situation where all of us need to help each other and stand united, I thought humanity could fnally improve. Unfortunately, such a thought was only a dream. A moment when everybody could unite and help each other turned into a moment when everybody only attacked each other and became more distant. If humanity can’t learn from the deaths and sickness around the world, what more is needed for us to become better?

Where is the empathy? Respect? Te love for each other? Can’t we learn those basic things now? When did we become so selfsh? When did we only care for ourselves and not for others? When did we become so empty? Yet I still believe we can become better. Tis year was one of the hardest in our lives, if not the most. But the year is not over yet. We can still change.

My message for the world is to hope for better times. But this cannot happen if we do not start making things right. All of us are going through hard times and we need to keep together to become stronger.

Marta
