(clock ticking)
This is London
(bells ringing)
Remember when you visited a city
for the first time
and felt completely overwhelmed?
me too
I was living in London for the past six months
partly to study at university
and partly to live a dream
of becoming a better filmmaker
and musician
I remember when the time came around
to choosing my five university choices
I only picked two
They were both in and around London
Growing up I didn't visit the city often
even though it was only an hour away
but from what I saw when I did go
made me want a piece of it
whatever 'it' was
was it the nonstop hustle of the city
with thousands of big dreamer's feet hitting the pavement
or was it the diversity of the city
that allows you to feel accepted
well,
it certainly wasn't the latter
Your first few weeks in London equals
no friends
no bearings
no money
It can be pretty depressing
having to drag around a bag of mixed emotions
wherever you go
especially when you need one hand free
to check the tube map to find your way home
but that's London for you
it throws you in the deep end
and expects a lot from you
it slams you to the ground
and then expects you to come up stronger
it expects you to look at yourself and say
I will do this
London
the city of opportunity
if you let it be
It can fill you with fire
and will either burn your passion to the ground
or light it up for all to see
if you can keep your head above the water
then you might just be on your way
to living the dream
