Reading Passage: A Memoir of the City Lights
The city’s symphony played on through the night, a seamless blend of honking cars, distant sirens, and the murmur of restless crowds. I remembered the moment vividly—standing on my apartment balcony, staring at the shimmering skyline. That night, the air felt charged with possibility, yet tinged with a quiet nostalgia. I had moved here just a year prior, chasing dreams that sometimes felt distant amid the chaos. Every street corner told a story—of fleeting encounters and silent hopes. The neon glow reflected in my eyes as I contemplated the future, uncertain but filled with promise. This city, with its relentless pulse, had become my second home, shaping my experiences and memories in ways I could never forget.
