What thoughts are going through your head right now?

[darkly]

Oh, all kinds of thoughts really. Like, hello there! I haven't posted here for a while but life happened and now I'm here again. I've been outside a lot these past couple of years. photographing things and exploring the world with my boyfriend. If you want to come find me in other places as well, just ask and I'll help you. Or, if you already know my name, you can find me on Instagram . Other than that, even though I may have not posted, I've been keeping an eye on the place. So, how have you been doing lately? What's going on in your life?

Hey Darkly! Good to see you again. That sounds like a lot of fun! Any standout places you've visited? I'd follow you on insta or wherever if you want to share it.

Not too much is different for me, but doing alright. Working, playing video games (mostly Final Fantasy XIV,) trying to do some art again whenever I can muster up the motivation.

Hey good to see you too!^
Funnily enough, the most stand out places I've found have been about an hour radius from where I live. You see, I have a dog now and me and my boyfriend we have been exploring the area were we live while walking the dog (we both enjoy photography). You'd think it's a boring place but apparently there are lots of hidden, abandoned houses in this area. And one abandoned hospital area. The hospital area is a favourite, big area with several abandoned buildings. So much to explore. It's just weird because all these places are so close by, yet I never found them before.

Good to hear that you are still doing arts. Motivations changes over time, so does the way you do art and the art you make, but if you enjoy doing art, I think art will always be a part of your life, one way or another. It's not necessary bad that not a lot is different for you so I'm happy to hear that. For me, a lot is different which was really bad for a while but I'm making my way back to ok again.

That sounds cool and creepy haha. Especially the abandoned hospital. Its nice to explore your own back yard.

Sorry to hear things were bad for a while, but glad they're getting better. I guess we haven't really talked since before covid, but it was definitely a rough time which really multiplied how bad other things were.

^You know it's crazy how much there is to find in the area where you live. Depending on what you like of course. There is a big airport not far from where I live and so far I've found 4 abandoned houses and a tunnel (!) in that area. They've been left empty after last tenant died due to the vicinity to the airport so not that weird but cool that they are still around. I even found a painting in the basement of one of them, wasn't able to get into the house as the wooden stairs were all gone but I'm definitely going to try and enter it.
