why do i feel a pull towards the unknown and terms like abyss, abyssal and the void? the sea, deep deep sea, vast nothingness yet to be explored. the sheer mystery of it, whale song and other oddities.
also, old abandoned sites and buildings are deeply fascinating. what were their lives like?
of course i'd never step near a underwater cave because i realize it's stupid and suicidal.
but still. it's deeply fascinating.
anyone else? i explore old buildings out in the countryside, run around with a metal detector on old buildsites from 100 years ago, abandoned long long ago. virgin forests are cool too.

exploring the unknown is innately human and frankly one of the few ways we can create a sense of adventure in this guardrailed modern life.

I'm from a small New England town that was inhabited quite early and the colonists cohabited with Injuns for a long time, beginning almost 100 years before the USA was established. so many old farms and caves and root cellars, very old cemeteries, lots of urban legends about colonial and Indian lore. I love following the old stonewalls through the woods and finding 300yr old foundations, the creepiest fucking forest of thick old cedar where the sun never touches the ground, where the colonists stopped their farms and never ventured themselves.

also of course along the rivers in town are many dilapidated brick mills and factories from the late 1700s and 1800s with crazy catacombs underneath where the river used to power equipment. we found deteriorated wooden crates of dynamite in one of the tunnels, if we fucking sneezed the whole place could have blown.

also some of the earliest railroad lines on the continent run through and there are lots of ruins and old trestles and even wreckage from 100+ year old train derailments discarded along the way. Almost every weekend my friends and I would snupe around the train tracks at night exploring and mischieving.

I wish we would find more old and crazy shit. I need to start scouring the river bends for arrowheads and such

agreed. all these old buildings and sites, they have some kind of story to tell, or not, but it's fun to think about regardless, what happened here? seeing it all decay is strangely beautiful.
got any more pics?

Mental illness.

What? Jesus fucking Christ man just go outside. It's not that hard. Please, for the love of God, just actually go outside.

how about space
would you leave the milky way in a cryo pod to be unfrozen if and when discovered by a highly advanced alien species?

Most likely to be the white euro in you that loves to explore.

Absolutely

Have always had this childhood fascination if the unknown, mainly known due to pic but also my experiences going to a lakehouse in VA as a kid. It's something that previously made me look westward, but I'm sure that feeling of wanderlust or "liminality" can be found anywhere. Good finds/spots in central Appalachia anybody?
