Keep Portland Wierd

It's hard to love a city that doesn't love you back. For years, I tried to force myself to love Portland- to see it as the charming, quirky city it was supposed to be. I wanted so badly to be a part of the "experience." But eventually, I had to accept that Portland would never be my home. Unfortunately, the city has changed so much in recent years, and not for the better. It's been taken over by blind ideology and greed. What was once a thriving community has been gentrified beyond recognition. And now, all that's left is the shining husk of a rotten heart. I can't help but feel scared for the future of Portland. It feels like the city is on the brink of destruction. I just hope that, someday, it will be able to find its way back to the loving community it once was.
