I'm Not A City Kid

The city is poisonous, it eats your soul, somehow a sick part of me loves it.

I'm Not A City Kid
Inci Web

I’m going to go crazy.

This is happening.

Hang tight.

Be patient.

This is inevitable.

My tolerance to deal with the monotonous practice of the human society will end.

This has already started to happen.

My head and chest will continue to become uncomfortably with oversaturated physical sensations.

This will continue.

With every day spent in the city.

This will continue.

Each inhale invites a poison.

It’s the recycled unstable, toxic environment one absorbs from a fast life in a sick city.

This is what I blame for my going crazy.

You can recognize me as such.

I know better than anyone.

That’s fine to me.

I'm envisioning an exit strategy.


I'll disappear overnight.

Find me lost on a desolate spec.

It will be in the beautiful landscape that seems infinite.

It will be all mine.

My Nirvana.

An escape from the way it’s supposed to be.

I was always supposed to be there.

I always wished to be there.

This place has no stoplights, no concrete roads, nor traffic, even when times make you suffer it will hurt less.

There, you can be free.

There will be no authority to abide by, guided only by morals and your happiness.

I’ll forevermore be found residing there at this isolated address.

Once I find it.

Never to be sickened by unknown contaminates again.


But for now, I need the city.

There is no leaving it anytime soon.

I’m not meant to be here.

But, I’ve found a way to manage its venom.

I’ve found a way to make myself function in it.

And to be honest, right now, I feed off of it.

I get a high from this fast life.

So, here are 10 things that happen the second Thanksgiving is over.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
