Last two months have made me consider moving but part of me feels like I won’t have given the city a fair shot

I’m thinking back two years ago, when I had a very active GSA. We got started too late to do anything for the Homecoming parade, and I jokingly suggested that we just walk with a sign and throw glitter. The president was all about it until he looked at glitter prices.
