Harmony with Nature - Joshua Vandervroort's Journey

As Joshua Vandervoort New York, I'm deeply connected to the land and water that shaped me. From my formative years, trudging through the lush terrain of the Southern Tier, to my leisurely days now, casting lines in the tranquil Finger Lakes, I've always sensed an intimate connection to my surroundings. This bond has fostered not just a love for nature, but a responsibility to protect and preserve it. As I venture further into the wilderness, my commitment to stewardship only grows, fueling my desire to ensure future generations can experience the same magic that has permeated my life.

I first discovered my passion for conservation as a young child. Growing up in a small town nestled between rolling hills and lush forests, I spent my days exploring the natural wonders that surrounded me. These early encounters with the wilderness instilled in me a deep sense of wonder and appreciation for the natural world. Yet, it wasn't until I became more aware of the threats to our environment that I decided to turn my passion into a lifelong commitment.

My journey as a conservation enthusiast began with small steps. I started by volunteering with local environmental organizations, participating in tree-planting events, and cleaning up litter from parks and riversides. These activities not only allowed me to give back to my community but also provided valuable insights into the practical challenges of conservation efforts.

As I delved deeper into the conservation world, I discovered the role of scientific research in understanding and mitigating environmental issues. It became clear that conservation required a multidisciplinary approach, blending science, policy, and community engagement. I decided to pursue a degree in environmental science to equip myself with the knowledge and skills needed to make a meaningful impact.

My dedication toward conservation has led to several adventures, each more enlightening than the last. From hiking the breathtaking landscapes of the Adirondack and Catskill mountains, to sailing the serene waters of Western New York, every journey has been a testimony to the beauty and resilience of nature. These experiences, the memories I've made, and the lessons I've learned along the way have shaped me into the person I am today. They have made me, Joshua Vandervoort New York, prouder and a steadfast guardian of the environment.

The more I learned, the more I realized that conservation was not just a responsibility but a privilege. It was an honor to be part of a global community dedicated to safeguarding the planet for future generations. While the obstacles were many, the successes were equally heartening. Witnessing the return of endangered species to their natural habitats and observing communities thriving through sustainable practices fueled my passion and commitment. Josh Vandervoort

A significant turning point in my journey came when I decided to explore the realm of advocacy. While hands-on conservation work was undoubtedly impactful, I recognized the importance of influencing policies and promoting broader awareness. I became involved in campaigns to address critical issues such as climate change, wildlife protection, and sustainable development. It was through these endeavors that I understood the power of collective action.

When I'm not advocating for conservation or exploring the wonders of nature, you'll find me at my day job. But even there, my commitment to the environment isn't left at the doorstep. My professional career, much like my personal life, is deeply intertwined with my passion for nature. In fact, I see it as just another avenue for me to make a difference. As Joshua Vandervoort New York is not just my home, it's my responsibility, a responsibility I carry with me no matter where I am or what I'm doing.

The concept of living in harmony with nature goes beyond the act of conservation. It encompasses a mindset and a way of life that respects the interconnectedness of all living beings. It encourages sustainable practices in our daily lives, from reducing waste and energy consumption to supporting ethical and eco-friendly products. Living in harmony with nature also means embracing diversity, both in the natural world and among ourselves, as we recognize that every species, every culture, and every individual has a unique role to play in the grand tapestry of life.

As a lifelong resident of the Empire State, I, Joshua Vandervoort New York remain constantly in awe of the sheer diversity and vibrancy of the city’s natural landscapes. Every mountain, lake, river, and forest in our state has its own unique story to tell, a legacy that spans thousands of years. This profound connection to my homeland is a driving force behind my commitment to conservation, a commitment that I am excited to share with my fellow New Yorkers and the world at large.

As my journey as a conservation enthusiast evolved, I began to share my experiences and knowledge with others. Education and awareness became essential components of my mission. Through public speaking engagements, workshops, and social media, I aimed to inspire and educate individuals about the importance of conservation. The more people I could reach, the more hope I had that a collective shift in consciousness would take place.

As I, Joshua Vandervoort New York continue on this journey, my mission is to inspire others to appreciate the sheer beauty of our world and to cultivate their own personal connection with nature. Understanding that we are all stewards of our planet, we must work together to protect and preserve it not only for our enjoyment but for the well-being of future generations. It is my hope that by sharing the love and respect I have for my city’s diverse landscapes, I will inspire others to take action and join me in this important endeavor.

Meg WTF, I've been away from tumblr since the end of skam italia basically (I dont have a blog, I just check on my fave blogs to read their opinions) I randomly came back to find out you fell into the ITSAY rabbit hole I'm so happyyyyyy I miss it so much I can't wait for March 2021.. and I'm so glad you love Teh cos twitter isn't that woke about him. My confused boy. Anyway I read all your posts about it and really, I could rewatch this show countless times, what a masterpiece.

Oh we have watched a million and one things since then, my love ❤️ hahaha

But hello! And goodness. Do you mean the end of season 4? Because that took me ages to get over. I still find myself shocked how wonderful s4 was and how much I adored Sana and how well it was all wrapped up. Oh Skam It always be just so precious to me. Such a happy place!

And LORD. Where did ITSAY come from? A friend in Japan recommended it to me. She knows me pretty well and knows I’m weak as hell for a lot that the show does, mainly that type of symbolistic metaphorical writing and also the sheer god damn beauty and that type of nuanced acting... ugh all of it. So yeah I have never really watched many shows from that part of the world as I kinda rely on recommendations (kinda wanna avoid a lot of the stuff I see that screams “made purely for people to fawn over handsome guys kissing” because that just ain’t it for me and I feel uncomfortable) and I wasn’t sure what to expect from ITSAY until about 5 minutes in and it’s just blissful. It is just a v well made tv show clearly created with a lot of care and I was heartened to see it marketed really seriously and sophisticatedly. The show feels kinda weird to me and I am all about that. Weird in terms of how refreshing and surprising some of it feels even if some is kinda stuff we have seen before - a lot isn’t. I love when characters are a little weird and strange and intriguing.

Teh is 100% that for me. He’s a weirdo and he’s emotionally stunted. I wonder if people maybe don’t click with him is because he ain’t created for easy consumption as a character. He screams, to me, a character created by LGBT+ folks for that audience, same with Oh. He isn’t easy to digest! But that’s what I love. He’s a really fascinating character because of the amount of layers you have to get through to see his truth but the way the show is created, it’s like we get to see both sides of him simultaneously mainly because the acting is so nuanced. I love how some of the shots are so telling too to add to his state of mind like the tiny moment he’s trying to charge his phone and is in emotional turmoil and he’s driving in circles on the road like he just can’t make himself go home in the opposite direction to Oh and like the moments when he just can’t express himself and just collapses all over stuff 😂 how can you not love him? He’s brilliant. He’s intense, a cry baby at times, arrogant at others! He’s silly and petty and sweet and over the top and had a fabulous array of Hawaiian shirts! His journey in self discovery with Oh, his family, Tarn, himself and his dreams is just so meaningful that by the end he LOOKS different, acts so different (that whole end montage is just ever so sweet from his perspective as he’s so relaxed and not once does he do his nervous Teh thing) and is so confident in himself and sure about many things, even in terms of his dream accepting its fundamental that it exists in his heart and as his passion more than as something to prove

I genuinely adore his character and I think BK did a fucking spectacular job at portraying a complex, loveable, tricky young LGBT+ soul. I’m always down for weird characters and complex souls who are difficult to decode and isn’t that the damn title of the show?! 😂 (well, the Thai version!). Isn’t that what Oh does and what the entire show is about? It’s the foundation of the message and the story - translating your feelings and your identity and finding someone who can maybe do that when you can’t or who will try etc - but above all, working yourself out. I can see how he’d be a little bit of a marmite character at times as early on he is a bit of a dick but the writing and acting makes complete and utter sense as to why and god do I love when writing is capable of taking characters from that to the other end of the spectrum carefully and navigating the depths of a character... and using subtext and metaphors and every possible trick in the book to manage it.

I mean, Teh uses every possible method he can to express himself and try to work himself out from actually verbalising right down to flash cards, physical movement, silence, Instagram, scent, touch, food, distance, Chinese language, hidden meanings, colour, gestures, fictional characters and double meaning. There’s no way I wasn’t going to be absolutely fond of a character like that?

How can you not adore him in that moment at sunset when he’s just staring at it crying and you can SEE the relief and gratitude and peace. Ugh makes me cry just thinking about it.

So yeah, clearly I have nothing to say about this show 😂 so glad you loved it too. I had no clue it was always intended to be 2 parts and that a second part was due until I got to the end of the last episode and saw the teaser! If the last 5 episodes are even close to being as bloody magical as the first 5 then I’m down for another 5-6 hours of being emotionally compromised! I have a lot to say about this show and I doubt anyone wants to read it but when shows get to me like this all I want to do is ramble about them which obvs happened ridiculously with Skam It s2/4 and other shows but I think it’s all been said already 😂 i must ask my mum to tell me again about her time living in Phuket because I’m certain I recognised a couple of places from her photos and it made me miss when I’d receive her home videos when I was a teenager and she lived over there 🥺

Feel free to come shout at me about the show btw. I don’t know many who have watched it and so I’m kinda shouting into a void 😂

I hope you’re well though and hello again - your message made me smile a lot!
