I hope that our children have a better life than we do.
I hope that they don’t have to live in constant fear of being beaten, *****, or killed.
I hope that they get to live in a world where hate crimes no longer exist.
I hope that they get to live in a world where what’s inside is considered more beautiful than what’s on the outside.
I hope that they get to live in a world where both men and women get equal pay.
I hope that they get to live in a world where they’re praised for being different rather than hiding from who they really are.
I hope that they get to live in a world where justice is served to everyone.
I hope that they get to live in a world where the minorities aren’t constantly facing oppression.
I hope that they get to live in a world where they don’t have to fear a possible nuclear attack by a foreign country.
I hope that they get to live in a world where people who need psychiatric attention aren’t categorized as “mentally insane.”
I hope that they get to live in a world where their government isn’t corrupt.
I hope that they get to live in a world where getting a good education is more of a blessing than an economic burden.
I hope that they get to live in a world where world hunger is not as big of a problem as it is today.
I hope that they get to live in a world where everyone is loved and treated with respect.
I hope that they get to live in a world where suicide rates aren’t as high because people with severe depression or high stress levels are getting proper treatment.
I hope that they get to live in a world where they are able to voice how they feel without fearing that they will be humiliated.

I hope that they get to live in a much more improved and accepting world than the one that we currently live in.
