In The Gloaming TW *just in case*
With the tragic loss of the feed and after much debate and discussion. It's been decided to create a new thread. Soul space so to speak. A journal of sorts.
A place where I can dump some of the nonsense that goes on in my head.
While replies are welcome - they aren't necessary.

So I took a break and took a trip. Did some camping and a lot of hiking and fishing. If anyone is interested here's some pictures
Might be doubles here and there imgur doesn't have a hey dummy you already used this one feature lol
@mytwistedsoul
After all the pictures, I could get a better feel of why it's being referred to as "almost heaven". Soul!! 🥹❤ These are such beautiful pictures, I looooveeee all things nature hehe and oof specially the river streams.
Looks like a place one could sit next to for hours and just be lost and then maybe put on a caption "not all those who wander, are lost" haha, sooo into the ✨feels✨ for real!
Also were these cottages where you stayed at?😮 Very "middle of nowhere with less/ not many people around" like lol, again straight outta my bucket list! XD
This was straight out of my dreamieland xD one of the places that come to mind during those visualisation exercises "think of a safe place where you feel relaxed" or similar and this is vvv close to what I would think of.🥹
Thank youu for sharing these pictures from your trip hehe.❤
Any funsieees experiences or realizations during the trip?🥰
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou Hey ❤️ Omgosh it's so beautiful there. If you like nature and all that it involves you would love it there
@mytwistedsoul
It looks like you had a wonderful trip. I'd heard that WV has some great backcountry, but didn't know it was that beautiful up there...
Also, there's nothing wrong with the links. Your photos are great. Some of those rivers look pretty good for fishing, if I knew how to catch fish. 😝
@mytwistedsoul Good music, good message...one thing I still find depressing: everyone in the audience holding up their phones to get footage of the musicians/singers instead of, y'know, listening to the music itself.
Today's generations are so busy using their phones for everygodd***thing that they haven't learned to live in the moment.
I have no use for most philosophers post-WW2 but there are a couple shining exceptions. One is Nicholas Carr, who is the prophetic voice crying in the wilderness re today's high-tech hypermediated age. He has called today's smartphones "thieves of experience"...I couldn't agree more if I tried.
@slowdecline48 Glad you liked it. I agree. I don't care so much about seeing the musicians. It needs to be heard and felt. When it gives you goosebumps. It's almost a spiritual experience. I'm big into music
Springtime. When the pollen is so bad you can write in it
@mytwistedsoul I dig these miniature dioramas of yours. You're building a whole world there. It's perfect for gerbil-sized humans.
Also - I feel for ya. That windshield looks like it could be on any car in central Texas from the last week of December, into mid-April or so...it's like powdered yellow nerve gas out there.
@slowdecline48 I'm getting ready to start another one 😁 They're actually kind of calming
Omg the pollen is horrible! And I wonder why I'm all wheezing and stuff. The cat even has a yellowish green tinge to him from it. Between the poplar and pine trees it's a nightmare for anyone that has allergies 🤧
Part of the pollen problem
*You're not alone. The world small and I am sick of all the talk of finding purpose*
I had to mow the field today. It takes a couple hours and gives me too much time to think
@mytwistedsoul Is the field yours? If so then man, I'm jealous...
@slowdecline48 I kind of hate to say it is. You might not feel that way after mowing it. I hurt like h*ll a day or two afterwards
If you own land then you gotta take care of it, like any other asset. It's more than an asset, though...
Been thinking about land lately myself. I can't afford a house, but at this point I'd be willing to camp out for a year or two. Long as I can eventually get a foundation poured, & help with electrical stuff, living quarters would eventually emerge....owning land is far better than just owning a house. Once it's yours, as long as you keep up with taxes on the place no one can throw you out or tell you diddly-squat.
@slowdecline48 This is true. Land is a good thing to have. And it doesn't lose value. I just get grouchy when I hurt
I'd really like to see you get a piece of land. You could start small with building too and add on. I mean I guess with where you live you probably have some sort of building code you want to stick close to because of storms and such. And then of course there's always officials sticking their noses into people's business in the spirit of safety. Which is a good thing but the red tape is frustrating AF. You could put up a yurt - they can last up to 20 years. They're actually pretty cool and the camp stoves they have now are awesome. I think it would be so cool for you to do that!
@mytwistedsoul You summed up the exact train of thought I had late last week. "Great minds..." 🤣 The only difference is I was thinking of a sizable tent for the 1st year, but not a yurt specifically.
...okay, I'll stop derailing your thread now.
@slowdecline48 They have some really nice tents for sale and the prices aren't too bad either. You could set yourself up a nice place. A camp stove and a good air mattress. H*ll I have one now that has a rechargeable blower to pop in and it blows it's self up - so cool lol. They even have AC units for tents. If you rough it now a days it by choice
😆 Nice...I can definitely relate to a few of those.
