Urban Life

I'm supposed to be watching my sweet potato fries while they are baking, but I decided to blog.
After graduation I really want to move to the South.
Everyday I smack myself b/c I didn't go away to college.
I was afraid of being lonely;even though I'm lonely now, but that's another post.
I live in Newark and Newark has a bad rap!
It wasn't always that bad...well from what I can remember.
It's terrible now; fuck what Cory Booker does- Kanye shrug- Sorry
This is the third time that I am actually afraid of my neighbors (we've had 3 crazy families so far)
They play loud music, knocked our fence down with their car, and are real gangstas...like Bloods?So I've heard.
We call the police, they don't come (of course); there has been 2 shootings in one month!
I need to get the fuck out of here. I don't even go out anymore; not allowed by my dad after a certain time.
With my sister and I being in college my family really can't afford to move esp since my mom is on disability retirement due to a stroke & brain aneurysm.
Don't forget the BILLS...
If we could afford to move we would.
I hate being here so much :(

God Help Me. Please?

it sucks that this is how things are the moment, i know the feeling of needing something to change so badly 4 so many reasons and they just dont.
Stay strong, pray, and do ur best through college. good grades open some good doors. Keep pushing and things will happen (easier said i know, but sometimes thats all we can do)

Stay strong, xx
