X-City Too

Essays
Written By Nathan Box

I set my sights on Providence. 

It was time to escape my American dream. 

My country was only recognizable, because of its long standing apathy and cynicism. 

X-City. X-Country. You should come too. 

 

I set my sights on Providence. 

Look for a new place to welcome me home. 

Changing faces, offer glimpses of hope. 

X-City. X-Country. You should come too. 

 

I set my sights on Providence. 

Because I need to be delivered. 

Planting my feet on solid ground uncompromised by the pull of greed. 

X-City. X-Country. You should come too. 

 

I set my sights on Providence. 

Because I desire to be saved. 

I am close to being corrupted. 

X-City. X-Country. You should come too. 

 

Thanks for entering my world, 

-Nathan

Hello! My name is Nathan. I've always believed I would meet that special someone in one of two places; either a record store or a book store. Maybe I need to amend? I moved to Seattle in February of 2011 from Oklahoma City (Try and not hold the Sonics/Thunder thing against me). I knew I wanted to work for a nonprofit and go to grad school. Within a couple of months, I was doing both. During the day, I work as a Fund Developer and Community Relations Manager for a nonprofit in Kent and at night I try to stay as busy as possible volunteering, trying new restaurants, finding hidden bars and exploring Seattle. The past few years has been both terrifying and exhilarating. I have done things on my own I didn’t think were within my capability. I love being outdoors. On any given weekend, I can be found hiking, on a road trip, volunteering, at a museum, seeing a movie (I see a lot of them). I am passionate about nonprofit work. I feel called to leave a mark on this world. Nothing against those who enjoy making tons of money, I just need to know I am making a difference.
