Well, growing up was not a good time for me. Lots of family issues and trauma and growing up in an area with issues, even though a lot of people, who live there, say it’s “not that bad”.
In school we had teachers telling us to get the f out of that place if we ever want to achieve things in life, I knew people struggeling to find any work, a lot of things are broken or abandoned and it just felt depressing.
Those trees made me feel hopeful though. It looked to me as if they’re reaching for the sky, at night reaching for the stars, as if they want to get out of there, too. Made me feel not so alone.
