Exploring Abandoned Locations
There’s this essence I pursue, its like chasing ghosts. A feeling like when you have to walk through the forgotten shadows of a long dark hallway and the light switch is on the other side of the hall. It’s haunting, and it feels like someone is standing behind you and you laugh and tell yourself there’s nothing there. But you cant deny that you feel it. The feeling of time and it’s powers of certain destruction has always invoked that type of haunting feeling. You know… you cant escape the truth. Time destroys it all. Humans really do underestimate the power of time and its capabilities. Sure enough as you grow older, you start to see everything changing before your eyes. A place that once was cherished and provided warmth for someone’s life now patiently waits its end amongst the shadows of the past while embracing nature’s cold unforgiving wrath.
I’ve had to face that feeling many times throughout my life where I have watched the simple passing of time and how it always leads to some form of destruction. You can feel it from within the textures of the old decomposing wood, the cracking and pealing of the paint, the walls and roof tops all crumbling down all around. That is the feeling that draws me to ghostly places like this. I’ve been visiting this place for many years now and slowly watching it crumble down. Each time feels a little bit more haunting as my mind develops and I gain more knowledge, gain a bit more wisdom Going out to find places like this brings me to a state of deep thought and reflection and reminds me to stay humble.
