Hi Brit,

Congratulations to you!! I share your oodles of things to say about people choosing to remain childless, and I deeply respect that choice as well. In fact, if had I come to my state of the planet insights earlier, I don't know if I would have gone down kiddo lane either. But now I'm a father of 2 little boys and you know, there's just something about experiencing the world through the eyes of a child, that makes everything else fade into the background a little bit more. Of course I'm terrified about their future, but at the same time, exploring this magical world together is what's keeping me sane. And it's making me fall in love with life all over again, which in turn only strengthens my resolve to do something meaningful with the time I've been given.

Thank you for your writings thus far. I've been silently enjoying them and I'm looking forward to any future, motherhood induced, continuations.

Best wishes to you and your family!

Hi Britt,

I’m a bit late to the party…only recently came across your newsletter, and specifically ‘The Backstory to Gen Dread’—most of which I felt was transcribed directly from my psyche. I wrestled with climate dread for 5 years before taking the plunge and becoming a mother. It is a complicated path to say the least, and I so look forward to hearing your perspective on new parenthood as it relates to climate anxiety. Wishing you all the best as you take this step in life.🤍
