It's soooo funny that whenever my city's on TV, it's always unflattering shit. How dare you, this place is amazing, I'd die for my city, I'd die for this neighborhood (which is admittedly the part of town with the shittiest reputation and arguably part of the reason I'm this anxious)

#shoutout to my English professor in the second year #who apparently comes from the same neighborhood and when I mentioned it during class he straight up went 'OHHH so that's why!'#'that's why you're always so nervous! it's because you're always looking over your shoulder and making aure nobody's following you!'#and let's be honest it's probably true at least in part #I mean uh... we had drug-related incidents in my grade school and one kid died in a fight during recess sooooo #ugh. fine MAYBE this neighborhood shaped me in slightly shitty ways but at least it isn't boring #plus people won't touch you if you're from here so yeah #shadiest guys hanging out near the entrance of your building #offering you help with carrying the backpack because 'it looks heavy' and 'neighbours gotta help each other'#idk man #I love this city even if it has way too much concrete and is way too hot during summer #vibes around here are impeccable #one of those days when I really love this place idk there's absolutely no reason for it
