Writing: My Life In Fort Smith, Arkansas

Fort Smith, Arkansas. It’s the second biggest city in Arkansas with absolutely nothing to do, and that’s where I grew up. Mostly. I always believed I lived a very basic life until I met people from other places. Compared to others my life was actually pretty chaotic. I moved around a lot and attended so many different public schools, and apparently to other people (people who stayed in one city there entire life) that’s crazy.
