A Life in the 727

I came from a city in Florida announced as St. Petersburg, which is also known by "The Burg" or "727"(Area code). My city isn’t too small nor too big if you get what I’m saying. The city has its beautiful features of course but also has its cons. My city has multiple suburban areas that are good quality, peaceful environment, and maintain a safe community. Which would either be located on the north side of town or either in a gated community by the waters. I have a few family members that live in these great suburban homes and have experienced the peaceful, joyful, soothing environment it holds. I’d also drive around the community to examine the beautiful big houses. Doing this gives me motivation to keep grinding for a house like this. You’d see nice expensive luxury cars outside in their driveway, nice cut clean grass, a huge, screened pool in the back, and a nice friendly park just up the street. This is the nice side of the city St. Petersburg Florida. The south side of town has fewer of these homes and communities, but they are just not as efficient. I grew up on the south side of St. Petersburg which made me the young man I am today as we speak! My neighborhood wasn’t the safest nor the most dangerous but right in between. This plays a role with my character traits because I’ve seen and been through it all, so I understand the suburban lifestyle and the poor violent neighborhood/ community. I’m thankful and honored for that period of me growing up in that unique (in its own way) environment. The city of St. Petersburg will either break you or make you! Times will definitely get hard to the point where you would ask yourself in the mirror should you give up or will better days come? That’s when you’ll find that passion deep down to grind for a better life for you and your family or to put your loved ones in a safer community. A lot of things go on in my city to the point you can’t be living just to live, or you’ll be stuck in the same hole for a while if you’re personally comfortable with that lifestyle. If you don’t take that path and grind for a better life, along the process you’ll start looking at life differently such as seeing the bigger picture. For instance, I look at life differently now like things could be worse so that’s why you’ll see a smile on my face because I’m just grateful to be here. I interpret my city St. Petersburg as the weather. For example, some areas in the city would be calm, peaceful, and nothing crazy would be happening. So, we’ll label that as a sunny day with no dark clouds, no rain, and no storms. On the other hand, the other side of the city would sometimes start storming/pouring out the blue meaning times would start getting rough and reckless to the point where you can’t do anything but worry about your safety and wait until the storm passes by.
