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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
