My songs know what you did in the dark

I have a deep fondness in my heart for the abandoned places of the world. I'm not entirely sure why, but part of me gravitates towards the broken down and the desolate. It's not an all the time thing, there are times when I see the decay around me as being somewhat tragic. But there are times I see it as poetic. I look at the bits of decay

I love looking at photos of abandoned places. I don't think I'd ever have the guts to explore them but I do love looking at them.

They really aren't so scary. You just need to be cautious and bring light. Use your common sense and you are fine.

I think it's more I'd be nervous I'd get caught trespassing or something :)

I'm also fascinated by old ruins and decay. Shortly after I started my undergrad classes, I found an old abandoned house near where my friend would go to practice saxophone. After I found the building, I would go back there with him as often as I could, as long as I didn't have class or work.

That sounds so peaceful. It's a small quiet spot.

New life springs forth from the dirt. Life continues, grows, is reborn-the cycle continues.

*nods* I love seeing wildflowers growing through cracks in the concrete. Gives me hope for the future somehow, like maybe things will go on despite how the human race seems determined to fuck it all up.

Exactly! Sometimes you have to take hope from the small things.

I am glad. ^_^
