Chicago, I’m Coming Home
Posted by nico under: Life as we know it .
It’s been over three months since I last posted. I feel like I’m in confession. I guess it’s an appropriate feeling since it is Easter weekend.
When I moved from Chicago, I thought I could run away from the violence and despair we all feel in its city streets. I thought that I could run and hide from the south side, but it’s been haunting me ever since. I’ve even tried to ignore this blog, but nothing can seem to keep my heart being broken over the senseless violence that plagues my city’s streets.
Last week in the time span of just a couple of days, 41 people have been shot and a few of them were killed.
I’ve been trying to write this entry for a week now…it’s not easy to talk about the city I love in these situations. It’s not easy to admit that I am feeling despair and losing hope…Chicago deserves better. These children deserve better…
