would YOU stay in Phoenix for another year?

Would ya?
Would ya?

This place is a HOLE

but the children have captured my heart
and i've never had a space which to call my own
entire autonomy
such a challenge
and so much growth to be had!

Will I be ready to quit it all come August?
To give up all that I'm currently working towards?

I don't have to.
They'll let me stay.
In fact, I think they'd want me to.

But this city....
OH IT'S LIKE DEATH.

At what cost would I staying?
What would be sacrificed?

More contemplation is to come.
