Born and raised here, and watched it grow from a small and relatively unknown town into an up and coming international city. I really appreciate the slow-paced lifestyle, weather, and quality of life here. While it’s still behind on a lot of things compared to other cities around the world, such as public transport infrastructure and lacking in night life, I have no doubt that the 2032 Olympics will help with the rapid growth and changes in the next coming years.
Of course, I wanna try living short-term in other cities around the world, but I’ll always call Brissy my home.

i was born here but haven’t lived here since i was a few months, before moving back for university. i’ve always wanted to live in an urban area with a lot of young, college aged people, and this is the perfect place for that. there are always festivals, thrift pop ups, art gallery openings, historical buildings and events to go to which i love. i enjoy meeting strange people who are part of various scenes, going to the goth club and spending time with my interesting friends. the public transportation is also great, since i don’t have a car and don’t plan on getting one either.
there is however a very large homeless issue that has been going on for years, and a housing crisis, and even my favourite cheap sandwich place has had to jack up their prices, but what can you do.
i plan on staying here for university and possibly moving away for post-grad, but this place will hold a very special place in my heart forever

I wasn’t born here, but I was raised here & I used to resent that about my upbringing. I didn’t understand why I had to be raised away from my culture in a place that only made me feel alien but now that I’m older I’m finally beginning to appreciate it.
I was raised here but I’m seeing this city in a way that I never have before. It’s so serene & quaint. I love how many local coffee shops we have & how rich we are in grass & trees. I love that my identity makes me unique, & it’s refreshing to meet other people like me in this southern, suburban city. It’s lovely here.

Can I call it my city now..? I feel like I really came into my own self here. It feels like home. I know where I’m going. I love my neighbours. People are kind.

My 20s has been spent on developing myself as a grown kid outta high school becoming a young independent adult, turning 20 doesn’t have to mean that a perfect life should be sorted out for you. It means that you have more independence and capacity to forge your own life, at your own pace, even if it will take until your 30s. After all, we’re all forms of ephemeral art
