Dear Journal,
I want you to know that I appreciate you and that you're special. K?
Alright so I read today in National Geographic that Mars is a
viable planet for terraforming. I felt, for the first time, profound sadness about my mortality. It is highly unlikely that I will get to see a terraformed Mars. I will be dead by the time all the ecological processes take place for Earthlings to live on Mars. That makes me sad.
Love, Lena
