Let go of the things that no longer serve you... Let go of the pretense of the false persona, it is not you... Let go of the armor that you have worn for a lifetime, to serve the expectations of others and, to protect the woman inside... She needs protection no longer.... She is tired of hiding and more courageous than you know... Let her prove that to you....Let her step out of the dark and feel the light upon her face.... amg🌸

I kind of love how abandoned a lot of places are in the US. Like... everything is just so big that you can just leave a town to get reclaimed by nature if it isn't worth hanging around. As a Brit, where every inch of land seems extremely valuable, that notion is just wild to think about.

I spend a lot of time trying to locate places like that. There are many "ghost towns" that are well-known. I like finding the ones that history forgot about. Hidden somewhere deep in the forest, but still with a history. Mining towns are often abandoned when the miners move to more prosperous areas.

In South Dakota, the town of Sheridan (originally called Golden City) was a booming gold-mining town. It became the location of the first county seat and federal courthouse west of the Mississippi River. It burned twice due to lightning strikes and was eventually abandoned. One house was still occupied in the 1940s, and it was moved a few miles away. The valley was flooded, forming a reservoir that supplies drinking water to Rapid City. The first gold I found in South Dakota was on the shore of Sheridan Lake. It is one of my favorite camping places.

That's quite amazing.

As a gamer girl... I think probably the most famous example is Centralia... with the whole underground coal fire because a bunch of really not-smart people thought it would be okay to burn landfill right next to a coal mine. Hollywood used it as the whole premise behind the Silent Hill movie, to explain the perpetual fog over the town.

Entirely not accurate but hugely haunting and quite terrifying to think about.

In the UK... you'd be hard pressed to find an acre of land that wasn't meticulously documented.

You're right there isn't much interesting to explore these days in the UK. When younger I remember going round abandoned buildings and such. Used to play in an abandoned farm in early teens. Then in 20s explored an old abandoned bus depot. Since then not much except an old quarry next to where I used to work.

Much more interst and opportunity in the US for sure
