As for the companions on the path, they are the people who may not always be there, but they are here when you need it when you are happy or sad. Something that may be stronger than friendship. » Woman, 22 years old, Iraq « The essential need for me is to be loved and to feel loved. I need to feel loved in order to feel secure, happy and fulfilled. I would not be willing to give up my habits, lifestyles and values in order to feel loved. » Man, 18 years old, Pakistan « Despite its role in fueling polarization and spreading hate at a breakneck pace, I refuse to abandon social media. Why? Because I firmly believe that its potential to do good far outweighs its harms. Social media is more than just a means of connecting with others; it has become a hub for businesses, a tool for organizing communities, and a lifeline during the COVID-19 pandemic. When oxygen tanks were scarce, people banded together on social media to help one another, forming a powerful network of support. However, we must exercise caution in what we consume online, being mindful of the negative impact it can have on our mental health and well-being. » Man, 26 years old, India « Thing only thing I’m sure I won’t be letting go is “learning”.

I think about how, if we cut down on international (and national) flights, we could significantly cut down on carbon emissions. I hope we can find a way to do that yet––but I think it’s really important that we have a world that is (at least) as interconnected and accessible as it is today. I want to keep learning about other people and other parts of the world. That’s why I say «Travel and education.» It’s not just about travel, but the learning that comes as a part of travel and as part of dialogue with people who are unlike myself. That’s something we need more of, not less of. » Man, 19 years old, USA « The ability to think independently, never stop thinking, and maintain enthusiasm; the bottom line and dignity of being a human being, the premise of giving everything is to persist in oneself and maintain the original intention; health and happiness, which I cannot leave, are the meaning of life. » Woman, 18 years old, China « My computer, that is to say, my unique place of happiness and the only thing that educated me today with concrete results and that made me grow mentally on the subject of dangers from hacks, unhealthy people.
