Quote

The quote I choose isn’t really a quote but is song lyrics. The quote is, “In time I will leave the city, for now I will stay alive”, from the song Leave the City, by Twentyone Pilots. I actually want to get those lyrics tattooed on my body because I am a rebellious little teenager, but for real, I love this quote. Also it’s in a Twentyone Pilots song, so whats not to like about is.

So to me this means persistence is key. Like no matter how crappy life gets, it will get better. It might not get better now, not in a week, not even in a year, but it will get better, you will get out. With the, “For now I will stay alive”, part I think it sort of means to focus on the positive and work for better. Like you might not be able to get out right now but you will eventually. Sometimes you might not have the energy to work for better though, and that’s okay.

I can relate to this because I want to get out of South Dakota. I feel like I just don’t really fit in hear I guess, cliche I know, but still. I can’t get out of here thought cause I am thirteen and my mom would never move somewhere else. I know that I can’t get out right now but I am working hard so I will be able to eventually. I am studying hard and trying to get good grades, so when I turn 18 and I graduate, I can get out and find somewhere that I can thrive in.
