Living in a busy city is like living inside a moving clock. Everything runs fast, everybody is chasing something or responsibility is chasing you, and sometime you even forget if you already eat or not. For me, city life has been both a blessing and a hard challenge.
One of the first thing I noticed when I came to the city was how everybody always look in hurry. People walk fast on the street, buses rushing, cars horning, even the food sellers move with speed. At first I was feeling lost in the middle of all this noise, but later I try to start to understand that this hustle is part of the city culture.
My experience in the city is a lot wider and that you learn quickly and faster than ever or you fall behind. I remember when I first got a small job in the market area. The salary was not much but it teach me discipline. I wake up early, I join the crowd of people heading to work, and I feel like I was part of a big machine that never stop turning. Sometimes it is tiring and always a daily stressful but in the end you feel proud because you are contributing something to your own life and dream and you feel responsible somehow.
Life in city not only you hustle and running around around. There is community, too. In my street we know each other, and sometime we share food during festival or when somebody have a celebration that is a true pass to me like a football who is ready to score the winning goa. It remind me that even in the middle of high buildings and traffic jam, human connection is still important. Without it, the city will only be a cold place.
In the city you dream big because you see people making it, you see opportunity everyday, you will see big cars big mansion and you will be feeling and thinking of why am I not like this big millionaires. Of course, there is also temptation and distraction. Social media, nightlife, and just wasting time doing nothing. I myself sometime fall into procrastination, but later I realize time is the biggest wealth in the city. If you waste it, you can’t get it back.
So therefore, there is life in the city is a mix of hustle, community and dream. It is not easy, it is not soft, it is hard but let's say sometimes it is worth it. Because everyday you push yourself to grow, and in the end, that’s what life is about.
