We have every opportunity to connect. Little fencing, windows facing each other, a small concentrated neighborhood.

We lack that connection. Sure, our kids play and we'll chat every now and again but, we never really connect.

From the outside one might assume we're all similar. I think we all know the truth, though. The only thing we have in common is our fear and our loneliness.

Amy, the perfect little wife with her drinking problems and "nights out with the girls"

Kevin, the perfect little husband with his secret hotel liaisons and unhidden orders of lingerie on Amazon

There's something so surreal about American suburbs. I've never been to America but I have a reasonable awareness of what suburbs are like from how prominently they feature on TV and in movies and it based on that it has an almost mythical quality in my head.

It's like this weird combo of alien and familiar. But it's only familiar because of stories that aren't actually real or even realistic. So in my head it's like this strange dreamlike place where TV shows happen that doesn't have any real specific location, it just nebulously exists somewhere and everywhere in America. Where handsome white jocks and cheerleaders have sex in the back of cars, bored housewives take Xanax, dudes have BBQ's where they drink responsible amounts of beer, everyone drives everywhere and there are 12 year olds calling people niggers on Xbox live.

Mediocrity is relative, you don't even realize how pathetic you are for basing your values on what others have. Live in an American Suburb and you're already living a 100x more luxurious life than all of the royalty from over 100 years ago because of the inventions of the modern world. Life is a rat race and no one can appreciate what they have right now because it's always possible to fixate on what you perceive as better and to view things in a negative light, look in to mindfulness meditation.

I grew up in American suburbs. It's not really the comfy, dreamlike place you're imagining. Nobody cares about their neighbors or even thinks about them for the most part. You go to work/school, get home, and go inside. It's a cold, lonely place. Nobody cares about each other.

Did you write this? Hits me hard. I used to think I was special, or that I was "in touch" with something greater.

Now I'm just a late twenty-something lawyer who spends his days thinking about money and marriage. My life is completely empty but I go on anyway.

I look back so fondly on my days spent reading Thoreau or Emerson or Whitman in the woods at my university or in my friend's van by the lake, feeling a connection with it a voice in some magical universal dialogue.

It's strange knowing that I'll never have that again, that my life is entirely predictable and, to me, meaningless. Seems like everything has lost its color. I often wonder whether I should just kill myself. I don't mean to be edgy or anything. It's only that everything I've ever loved is drowning in the past and I know I can't go back

Sprawling on the fringes of the city
In geometric order
An insulated border
In-between the bright lights
And the far, unlit unknown

Growing up, it all seems so one-sided
Opinions all provided
The future pre-decided
Detached and subdivided
In the mass-production zone

Nowhere is the dreamer
Or the misfit so alone

Subdivisions
In the high school halls
In the shopping malls
Conform or be cast out
Subdivisions
In the basement bars
In the backs of cars
Be cool or be cast out

Any escape might help to smooth
The unattractive truth
But the suburbs have no charms to soothe
The restless dreams of youth

Drawn like moths, we drift into the city
The timeless old attraction
Cruising for the action
Lit up like a firefly
Just to feel the living night

Some will sell their dreams for small desires
Or lose the race to rats
Get caught in ticking traps
And start to dream of somewhere
To relax their restless flight
Somewhere out of a memory
Of lighted streets on quiet nights

Subdivisions
In the high school halls
In the shopping malls
Conform or be cast out
Subdivisions
In the basement bars
In the backs of cars
Be cool or be cast out

Any escape might help to smooth
The unattractive truth
But the suburbs have no charms to soothe
The restless dreams of youth

You fell into the same trap that every "responsible" adult falls into. It happened to me too.

You dismiss the youthful wonder and sense of adventure that you used to have as immature and a waste of time. You convince yourself you have more important things to do because society tells you these things are more important. In truth, we were more right when we were younger.

I know it's not really like that, that's why I find it so surreal. I can't imagine what it's really like. When I think of the American suburbs or imagine what the people living in OP's pic are doing all I can think of are hackneyed TV tropes.

This is what I mean when it's like it doesn't really exist anywhere in particular. Everyone I can think of who lives somewhere like that is a fictional character. It's like imagining what people who lived in feudal castles or African tribes are like, you're so far removed from the reality of it but at the same time have a kind of mythology surrounding it cobbled together from fiction.

[Anonymous No.10041678]

Not sure if my experience is different from others but when I think about the suburbs I honestly just feel sad. I switched schools around high school and I lost a lot of my friends at that point.

It's nice to live in a family neighborhood when you're young because you could just walk to the next house over to hang out. I have a lot of memories of riding bikes down the street, eating candy while watching movies, and being told to beware of a neighborhood rapist by a friend's sister. It felt like I was surrounded by all my school friends.

Now I wouldn't actually want to live in a house where you have no privacy but it was fun when I was a kid.

Thanks for your response. I'm not sure what to do or where to go.

I am expected by others and myself to provide for myself financially, to have a wife, a family, etc. These things aren't bad or undesirable, they're just far less desirable than what I had in mind in my younger years.

Every day I come home, take of my work clothes, drop my bag, and collapse somewhere around the house. There is nothing in my life that I live for. And yet I'm still doing it. Every day I get farther and farther from "it," whatever it was.

>I can't imagine what it's really like.
I can see how it might seem to have a surreal quality to you if you've never experienced it. Like some sort of David Lynch movie. Or a wacky Malcolm in the Middle kind of neighborhood.

But the truth is, when you live there you don't even think about it. You don't notice the other houses. You don't feel a sense of community with your neighbors. There are usually no kids playing in the street. No dads having a cookout in the back yard. Everybody just keeps to themselves. It's just a cold, empty, lonely place.

I live in the suburbs. It's wonderful. My house and neighbours really have nothing to do with my life and who I am. Graffiti, or exposed brick, or a dumpster, or 5 stories, don't make me more authentic or interesting. In my suburb I can watch my french kino, and read my literature, and sleep in cool quiet nights. I can cook all the same interesting food, I can listen to all the same music. I can live anonymously, or if I wanted, visit neighbours with an easy drive or walk More than anything else, I'm comfy.

The sun was high as the armored death machine glided through the suburban maze. Mounted atop, the sacred relic of forlorn destruction - the M60 - and flowing from it a caterpillar of silver-bullets. The weapon that built an empire; and the hand of a bronze savage-god tightly squeezing it from the back... as if getting ready to make love to it.
Trumpak has arrived to town and the families of Kleentans have taken notice. They have ceased their usual activities of consuming human children in their front yards among peers. Now staring. Frozen. In complete and utter panic.
Trumpak unleashes his wrath with a shriek of a thousand silver spears. The Kleentans scatter in terror. Screams of panic. Flaming death is raining down on them. Carnage and massacre. The sun gleams on Trumpak's immaculate pectorals as his steel arms begin to gray under shredded gun metal. His right arm reaches towards his left hip and in a flowing motion releases a macabre swing of his machete to send several reeling Kleentan heads flying. No Kleentan can climb the holy vehicle of jihad. A swollen nub begins to crease the front of his pants.

"...that neighbourhood, likewise haundreds if not thousands similar around the U.S.A. if seen by the sky, seemed a messy and unregular chessboard made out by many straightened a DNA elixes. Imagine to be in one of those streets, sorrounded by houses, to climb vertically in the air for like 100 ft., and then to watch down: with a bit of imagination, a street could look like the aforementioned helix, where the side by side buildings(really similar to each other from the distance) are the nitrogenous bases, while the streets make the phosphate/deoxyribose backbone of the DNA.This enormous tangle contains an imporant part of the America's genetic code, and for some aspect remained unchanged for many years."

The neighbour was shouting at his wife again, and this time it sounded serious. James always started to feel it in his chest whenever they got like this, needle like pangs in his heart, anxiety that something serious would happen. Eventually it would. Their voices roared from across the street, some argument about their daughter having a sleep over with a boy, her father enraged at the proposition that his daughter may have lost her innocence at last. James only caught bits and pieces. The previous May the neighbor had gotten in a fist fight with a man who'd driven past his house too fast, and the year before that nearly attacked a woman who'd driven over the city owned grass that was in front of his home, although he felt that it was his possession. Everyone else around the block was always silent, in the rare event that they'd encounter one another, the inhabitants of the neighborhood would shoot each other pleasant little smiles. This was their primary method of communication. But from this one isolated house, from house number two hundred and thirty seven on James Drive, the commotion was ceaseless. Some thought that they didn't know how loud they yelled, but that was false. They just didn't care.

In Holland, 1944 (not 1945 contrary to popular belief), Anne Frank was ripped from her home, or rather to avoid a debate on the very nature of homeness, the hiding spot that served as her home, and sent to a camp with all her friends. Unfortunately, she happened to die there. She was fifteen or sixteen years old I think, at least young enough that having any sort of attraction to her would be wrong unless you are, say, twelve years old, which coincidentally I was when I fell in love with her. The people who did this to her are called Germans and if you study your etymology you probably noticed that this name contains the word germ which is very fitting because Germans are a disease upon our great Earth, but that’s neither here nor there. To understand their actions, remember the Germans were very, very angry because they declared war on the whole world twenty years before and lost. In what was the pinnacle of ten centuries of German thought, a great German thinker had a great German thought which was of course that the Germans lost their war because of sixteen-year-old girls, so they began to murder every sixteen-year old girl they could find. Now, this last statement probably annoyed some people for being a lie, which it is. The Germans actually only murdered the sixteen-year-old girls who had black, curly hair and different noses. They also murdered a bunch of other people under basically the same parameters. I beg forgiveness for my dishonesty. I also forgot to add that they then declared war on the entire world again to test that theory, which, being fair, is just scientific rigor. I now feel as if I have, in my unnecessary history lesson, forgot to relate the girl back to you. You probably remember her name and that is because she also wrote an award-winning book about masturbation and trying to get down with her autistic neighbor before she died. Presumably, she did. Anyway, the point is, when Anne Frank was in that camp, wasting away from typhus, seeing every day the inhuman hatred in the eyes of the soulless men who guarded her, witnessing the wanton death and destruction of an entire race, slowly realizing the weakness of the God that allowed this all to happen, she still had better faith in the good nature of humanity than I do every time I leave my house in the morning.

As Sam parked the car in the driveway of a building completely identical to every other house around them, he could only wonder how his fiance was able to recognize that this was the one that belonged to her parents.
In all their years together very little was spoken of the place where she grew up, and now looking at the endless and indistinguishable structures he understood that it wasn't coyness on her part but simply a lack of anything interesting to say. He looked at the woman sitting next to him and realized that she, like her childhood home, wasn't really special in any meaningful way when compared to those around her. As he turned off the ignition his feelings for her evaporated through the cracked window and into the warm suburban night.
