    At the time we were reacting to a place we thought we hated, but upon recent reflections of this place and time I am reminded of that naive excitement we had blurring the lines between self exploration and discovery, experimentation and destruction. 'Smoke dissipates into fluorescent light as a suburban house party slowly comes to an end.' by: kial_ Views[544] A late night drive home through the Suburbs.

Every time I re-visit the town I grew up in it feels different. The modest suburban town has always been of lower socio-economic value and hasn’t been able to shake its abrasive reputation. 'New donut marks around a pole in a car park that used to be a common location for late night drag races.' by: kial_ Views[550]
