@mariah_langit accurately describes what is happening to our Bali home 💔
・・・
Bali is getting cooked. I’ve been blessed to live on Bali on and off for 22 years, and the levels of construction and destruction recently have reached heartbreaking levels. Many Balinese are in mourning. If you’re new to Bali, please consider your impact. If you’d like to surf, I recommend other islands in Indonesia. If you’d like to party, I’d recommend other places in the world. If you’re here for a instagrammable and healthy lifestyle, unfortunately the pollution is coming for that too. If you’re coming for spiritual reasons, please deeply consider the local culture, religion and natural world. If you are considering making money off Bali without a long term relationship or plan for sustainability, just don’t. If you do come or you’re already here, please see @therahayuproject , who did these fantastic videos, @niluhdjelantik , @baliisnotforsale , @evakandra and other Balinese leadership for guidance on how we can turn this intense development into something more positive and sustainable. 🌸💔
Happy Birthday to you @markfx411 ! Would have never expected the “18 year old kid” who sat in the front of the writing class I was taking to become one of my best friends and greatest people in my life! And I was the “high maintenance looking girl” who sat in the back of class lol We’ve been working on too many projects to count! Since you won best in talent at age five, you’ve only grown up to be more talented! So happy 21st birthday! You bring so much magic to everything you are a part of, I’m so grateful that you helped me create such a dream character, and we have so much more to create! You deserve so much love today and thank you for all that you do not only for your friends and family but for the world 🌎 🫶🪄🤍✨🎂💫💚🎉💝🍾🥂🪅
