I make mistakes, I'm out of control, and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best”.

sure to wave a friendly greeting from their vehicle as they pass. This is not the case in a big city. A trip to the grocery store will include navigating a twisted freeway system filled with thousands of other vehicles. Big cities are like concrete jungles, filled with strange and annoying sounds.

The same cannot be said in the
anticipation of these expensive lawsuits (Rosin). From that point onward the trend was if “a child dies on a certain type of slide and, after a lawsuit, that slide is banned forever; repeat until playgrounds are regulated down to a wood chip. Now the jungle gym at your local park is the same one you’ll find in any city suburb across North America” (Rinaldi).

Gone were the days when the older generations are needed to walk hundreds and hundreds of miles just to reach a destination and feel very tired and exhausted in the end.
