Dear Self!

This is a note to you.

Well done- well done for bringing hope, love and life to the world. Well done!

But we need to talk! We need to talk about what has been happening around. The rumours you heard that people are burning you and stealing things from you well it's true and it's legendary. I know your friends have been killed, treated with no value and eventually turned to ashes, It’s sad!. Please have courage.

At this point you want to give up, please hang on. It’s not the end of the world, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Oh, this I can assure you. You find peace one day.

The purpose your carrying is so huge, and creatures like you are in a shortage supply. Yes, imagine for more than 2000 years you have been providing oxygen, It’s super strange that people in the cities love you once they know what they get from you. You have barely received unconditional love, I know it’s painful. But please hang on in there!

Your importance can be very underestimated. Though you have been ensuring survival, you’re the home for animals, livelihoods for humans, you prevent flooding and you help the world mitigate the climate crisis. It’s okay, you know who you are and you know what you are doing, it’s them who don’t know what they are doing.

Just take a look at the innocent souls that did nothing to your kind and they are going to see your wrath. No! Focus on living your true purpose. Let’s make a promise on this one, it’s always going to be about you. It’s going to be about who you really are, nonetheless, they keep on mistreating you. You shall be sustaining them. You have come away long, please finish the race. Finish it.

Dear forest, this is your day. I know, fewer people know about it and it's fine. I tell you soon they will all. It's a matter of time.

You are goals and a big deal. Rest assured.

For now, bye. Please have courage.

Chat soon,

Natural Forest
