abandon

as a child i often had reoccurring dreams about abandoned houses. some were scary, most were just curious, but either way they were often. as i have gotten older my curiosity has grown to the point of actively seeking these places and exploring them. while many dream analysis have told me the dreams aren't healthy (usually regarding my closed off phyche or abandonment issues i am refusing to deal with), i sort of think they are full of it. when i seek and approach an abandoned structure it isn't in fear or some subconscious desire to seek the solution to all my problems. it is out of curiosity and exploration. the beauty left behind is so heart breaking, i am drawn to the simplicity in the absence of human life and the subsequent overtake of nature. i find myself asking questions and seeking answers to what the past lives were like, why they left and where they can be found now. a discovery of remnants.
