No matter where I go.
I stay Philly.
They say Philly’s tough. Rough edges, cobbled streets, a skyline looks like broken glass falling on the people below. And yeah, maybe that’s true. But me? I wouldn’t have it any other way.
This city, it’s like concrete with cracks that whisper secrets of resilience. You learn to navigate, to find the light, to push through when the odds feel stacked against you. You learn that beauty can bloom in the most unexpected places, like a sunflower pushing through a sidewalk or a melody rising from a subway grate.
Growing up here, you get inoculated against hardship. You learn to laugh in the face of a downpour, to find your rhythm in the rumble of the El, to dance around the potholes like a pro. You learn that grit and grace ain’t strangers, they’re just two sides of the same Philly coin.
So sure, maybe the world seems a little rough around the edges right now. But hey, I’m a Philly flower, baby. I was born ready for concrete jungles and unexpected storms. Bring it on.
