2040, 10 September. Europe has become the most advanced climate neutrality region in the world. Cities have completely abandoned fossil fuels, and each building has its own energy production system based on solar, wind and kinetic energy.

Evelina, now an experienced scientist, works in a global climate innovation lab that develops AI-powered air purification mechanisms. The streets are green, overflowing with vertical gardens, and the vehicles - without any pollution. Waste of water and food has become a thing of the past, as bioengineering has developed the most effective processing methods.

Society has also changed - the working week has been reduced to four days, as robotisation and AI have allowed people more time for creativity and personal development. The education system has introduced holistic teaching, where everyone can learn at their own pace, and virtual universities connect people from all over the world.

Evelina looks at the centre of Vilnius, where people communicate in the squares, musicians play, and technology serves not as a separation, but as a tool of unity. "This is what the future should have been like," she thinks, as she watches the sun set over the green horizons of the city.

Frieden und Gerechtigkeit
Peace will soon reign throughout the world. Everyone will understand that wars are bad. Groups and people like the AfD or Donald Trump will go down in the history books as inexplicable bizarre aberrations. Finally, much more will be done consistently to tackle climate change. Care will be guaranteed for everyone and family carers in particular will receive much more support. The wave of immigration will subside by improving the quality of life in the countries of origin. Criminals will be punished more severely and consistently deported or imprisoned.

Minun tulevaisuuteni
I would have found the perfect job where I could fulfil my dreams. A job where my opinion mattered and where I could work with people who were like me. I would have a job as a teacher, teaching future carers what it means to be present and to listen. My husband would be retired by now and we would look forward to the time when we could be retired together and just enjoy each other's company. I would soon be retiring and I would have a cottage somewhere by the sea with a lovely pier and a big sauna to lie on and enjoy the sunbathing. In the evenings I would sit on the pier with a tea-mug and watch the sea. I would be debt free and have money to do things that matter to me and I could travel and see the world. I would have built up a little nest egg to live in the moment and do things I enjoy. My family and friends would be well and doing well.

Christliches Deutschland im Umbruch
Real democracy, a Germany where Christian values are upheld, where Islam no longer plays a role because most "skilled workers" have left the country again. Germany is flourishing again, people are inventing and producing again, work is worthwhile again and you can walk through the station in the evening without fear. We don't have to eat insects and no one dictates whether and how much Leusch can be eaten. Nothing can be sprayed in the sky anymore, we can breathe freely and don't have these headaches almost every day...

Moving to a new location
I need to move house. It's a easy transition from one area to another with a good availability of houses and apartments at reasonable prices to either buy or rent. I have to move to a new local GP which is done by the the HSE with my records transferring using one application.
