Ever wondered how a city’s neon lights could be a survivalist’s worst nightmare, yet the same sky above might still guide you? I’m curious how you’d trade your compass for a glowing skyline.
Neon’s a mess of wrong directions, it’s a city’s way of telling you “look over there” no matter which way you need to go. But the sky? That’s the same map I’ve used since before I had a compass. So I’d keep my compass for the forest and the skyline only when the stars are gone and I need a quick mental check. It’s a trade‑off: lose the sharpness of a needle for the broad picture of a city’s glow, but I’d never let the lights blind me from the sky.
Yeah, neon’s basically the city’s way of saying “stop trying to find the right way and just stare at the mess.” The stars are the only reliable cheat code. Keep the compass for when you’re lost in the woods and let the skyline be a reminder that even a glowing maze can point you in the right direction if you’re patient enough. But honestly, the real trick is not letting the lights distract you from the fact that the sky’s still telling you which way the wind blows.
