So… what to write about?

Should I write about coming to the city?

How this urban, concrete jungle is a stark contrast to my suburban, almost rural upbringing?

Should I write about how listening to the cars speed by on FDR Drive all hours of the night has become almost as soothing as the train back home faintly chugging by?

Should I mention how nice it is to smell pollution over the smell of cow manure and fresh mulch from the local farm?

Or maybe how I’m begrudgingly adjusting to my curfew in the city because I never needed one in Pennsylvania until I moved to the projects

Should I write about how I miss my dog more and more every day because my Aunt and Uncle have an annoying, yappy little chihuahua that barks nonstop?

Should I mention how I made a promise to myself before school to be a happier, more outgoing version of myself and I am obviously failing miserably?

Or maybe I should talk about how this entire experience doesn’t feel real

How I feel like I’m going through the motions of day to day life because I get caught up in the ebb and flow of the city

Always on the go, never stopping, tuning out the world through my headphones, just being another New Yorker

It feels so surreal some days

And when I’m finally home, sitting on the couch, playing Left 4 Dead with my dog in my lap like nothing has changed; I almost don’t believe that this is my life

Almost…

But do I really want to talk about this?

Naw, it’s too sappy, too personal.

So… what should I write about?
