inthiscity is the literary pet of a city girl who loves music, climbing trees and flying kites. she is a haphazard student. when she has the time she reads. she has social anxiety disorder, but sometimes she falls in love with girls, and sometimes boys [but not that way] and sometimes the whole world all at once. most of the time she just chills out with her side kick, Boo! i n s h o r t: inthiscity is a blog about music, strangers, books, oddities and [sometimes] falling in love.

Metamorphosis & Cultivation
Tonight I realized that I did not, as some people believe, bend or change who I am to fit what she wanted me to be. I did not change my life to follow hers. I met her doing what I loved, going to shows, listening to music, reading books, and making art. In the three years that we were together I continued that, and she allowed me to further explore the depths of a culture and scene that I am greatly in awe and appreciation of. This does not mean that without her I cease to be – that I must reinvent myself – but that I am now able to proceed on my own, unaccompanied, to pursue my desires, my loves, lusts, and adoration uninhibited by her influence, but also reverent of the things that she cultivated within me.

Wow, that's really amazing... When I read that, for some reason, it reminded me of me.
