i've been living here all my life. it's crazy how i
here people talk about how bad oakland is, but i don't
see it. I don't see what people are talking about.
i've been living out here all my life and there's is
not a time where i have thought about leaving, this is
my home. Everything that i have gone through and
everything that i have seen in oakland has influenced
my mind in some way. I learned how to take care of
myself, out here. Ever since little i had to survive
of here on my own. my mother wasn't there all the time
and i had to teach and grow up too fast out here. my
heart is here in oakland. and without oakland and the
things i had to go through out here, i wouldn't b the
person i am. i fell in love out here at 16 not hardly
knowing what love was at the time. lost something so
dear to me because i thought i could trust out here.
but i grew as a person because of it. most people
would think oakland is a bad place and if you are on
the outside looking in, you would really think so, but
i've been living here all my life and i wouldn't wanna
be anywhere else.

Hey
I completely agree with you about what people say about Oakland.
Even though there are negative things here, there are also positive ones, people are just too blind to see that.
