Rasa

Rasa (27) feels torn between worry and perseverance. She sees the climate crisis not as something distant or theoretical, but present – “It is here.”

The changing seasons and rising temperatures mark a shift she began noticing five years ago.

Alongside the climate, she feels that “everything is changing – people, emotions, everything.” Though she finds it difficult to stay positive in a “negative world,” she holds on to a simple source of strength: “My child. It’s my everything. It’s my life.”

When asked about the future, she admits: “I try not to think.” Still, she believes in staying hopeful – “because there are a lot of negative people” – and in smiling when the sun shines.

“Everything is changing. Not only climate. People. Emotions. Everything.”

“My child. It’s my everything. It’s my life.”
