There hasn’t been a single person that I’ve met who’s from the Bronx that I haven’t liked
Even recently after speaking pleasantly with someone new I found out that they grew up in the Bronx
I lived in the South Bronx when I was only months old so there must be a tether

I went to high school only a few stops away from Far Rockaway and had a classmate that would travel from the Bronx to get to our school
Our school was notorious for being one of the worst too so I asked him why commute so far
He said because he likes taking the train
Someone should write an article on high school kids in NYC and their insane commutes. I've spoken to kids commuting two hours both ways everyday. One kid at the Tech open house told me he comes to Brooklyn from "past Flushing". Mind blowing.

I have one aunt who would always comment on how “strong” my arms were as a child which just meant fat
But now as an adult I actually am intrinsically strong and people tell me that all the time when I pick up things with ease
See how that alchemized for me

Those really difficult moments as a child havr given me the opportunity to learn more about myself now
Not a coincidence!
