The Awesome City of Austin
Come visit Austin!!!
Austin, Texas is an up-and-coming city that is world-renowned. The diverse city is known as the next Brooklyn with Brooklynites (people from Brooklyn) moving there at a high rate. This city has it’s own copy written slogan: Keep Austin Weird.
With its unique personality, Austin has a character of its own. It is one of Texas’ most liberal cities. Try asking for a plastic bag and watch them charge you (25 cents for a bag or help the environment? Easy choice). With ethnic restaurant and epic scenery, Austin has something for everyone!

tearing up my psyche

to understanding

We think in our minds of what we are, what are our values and what direction we will take in life but do we really are what we believe ourselves to be?
It is only in the time of crisis that we know.

See the stranger in yourself
