Welcome to The City of Angels

I am teenager living in one of the most diverse cities in the world, los angeles a place where eclecticism blossoms the nightlife electrifies you and the distinct culture broadens your imagination all you see is magic blinding you from the chaos that intoxicates like smog I have grown up colorblind no ethnicity, race, gender, or class can portray a divergent image in my mind finishing high school and overwhelmed with high expectations feeling more inclined to learning more about the world around me With a blink of an eye, news about shootings and beatings are flooding my newsfeed videos going viral protests being organized trying to absorb meaning behind all of this Opening my eyes wider, forcing myself to see the world differently, like with X-ray goggles Looking deeper, seeing through the mask that covers up true emotions looking deeper, wondering why so many people are judged and treated differently based on their beliefs, gender, and sexual orientation… The chaos not only surrounds the city that i live in, but the whole world a world emphasizing one beautiful nation and advertising endless possibilities turns out to be an opaque realization that you might have ability to experience As I become a small speck in this wild and big world, I can not feel small this can not be the way I see my city there needs to be change new faces, new voices, new lives There will be change, and I am going to bring it and the city of angels with sparkle with and without the X-ray goggles
