I really like them, and I feel especially nice when I end up in one by accident. They make me feel comfortable, away from the bustling stresses of everyday life. I like being alone from time to time, or well… most of the time.
AAAAAA

:1984: SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD TAKE THE VOICES AWAY :hypersus:
There’s something in them that’s just appealing. That pulls me in. When I was in an underground bike parking this weekend, it was empty par for a few lone bikes. The nearest few blocks were empty too. It was so quiet for a city that’s usually so bustling.
I felt at peace. It was but a fleeting moment, but I loved every second of it. The echo of the bike parking, the lack of cars, the lack of people, the turned of lights in buildings, the silence of it all.
I want more. God I want more. :omori-miserable:
Maybe that’s why I love the night, and just living at those hours. Too bad my fucking schedule tells me live otherwise. The darkness just adds beauty. :kiryu-pain:
Another example I like is people telling me how schools are eerie after classes. Well, have you been to yours an hour before the classes even started? Because that’s how my everyday looked like until I finished highschool, Polish busses be like. I loved the empty school. It was quite funny actually, because it was usually me who lit the hallways up. It was a nice feeling, to come in and have the whole school to myself before everything else took over. :niko-wonderous:
Or how about returning home on the last train? Usually I’m the only passenger then. The ticket inspector wouldn’t even bother to check on me most of the time. It’s so quiet, so dark if not for the towns we are passing by. Just me and the hallway of the whole train. :napstablook-chill:
Driving at night also feels surreal, especially on out of town roads. No streetlights, just me, the road, and the surrounding greenery. It kinda helps that I like driving with no radio on. I like the silence. Sometimes a boar gives me a removedto slow down, but other than that it’s extremely comforting. Fucking driving of all things. GOD AND THE FOG. OH GOD I LOVE FOG. :omori-manic:
Now the worst part. I fucking hate all the idiots trying to make liminal spaces be scary on horror like. „Oh nuuuu! The spüki shadow män vill kom & it ju for dinner!!!” Fuck off. :nyet:

I could sit there for hours, just thinking.
It really does feel like a place you could sit for a while, and maybe time might actually stop around you, and maybe you could have a minute to catch up
It’s beautiful 😍
Are Polish liminal spaces different than American ones? A lot of wasted space in American suburbs makes for great liminal vibes. Abandoned malls are another source for liminality. I hear people talking about how nostalgia plays a large role in liminal space, are there liminal spaces in Poland that are nostalgic to Poles but not to other people?
On a slightly related subject, one of my favorite photographers is Gregory Crewsdon, who stages photos up and down the Rust Belt to get a unique look at abandoned and mysterious parts of the Midwest.
this all looks exactly like southern Ohio - we are in that foliage stage right now, all those same old cars are still very commonplace here
I have a friend who drives a non-taxi version of the taxi in the 4th pic (same color, just with an intact grill) and an acquaintance who drives the same van as pic 3 (sun-faded cherry red instead)
I guess this place is kind of abandoned (by modernity) and mysterious(ly beautiful and weird)
That part of the country got abandoned by Carter and then Reagan… and all governments since.
This conversation reminded me that Jesse Jackson came to speak about it in the lead-up to the 2000 presidential race.
I had forgotten until reading that article that Martin Sheen and Jerry Falwell came with him, which explains why so many of the people from church were excited about the speech. Robertson, Falwell, Copeland, Hagee, etc, were all beloved by the congregation.
(There were not a lot of Rev Jackson fans though, if you can believe it. 🙄🤦)
oh god it will be so hard to describe i don’t have time for it now
You have good taste.
I love the feeling of being alone. I used to stay up until like 5 AM all the time, and I’ll always miss those hours of lonesomeness.
Considering how many people struggle with loneliness these days, I’m very lucky that I’ve always had someone around. But… God I miss solitude so much sometimes.
I remember loving to wake up at 4am everyday. I’m still trying to return to that, but feeling like shit lately got me addicted to sleep. Going biking at that hour just to see the sunrise was the shit girl.
The funny thing is, you could say I’m „struggling” with loneliness. Yet always end up wanting to be in solitude. Wanting to be alone yet not lonely. What a funny contradiction. Glad I’m pretty used to being lonely… for better or for worse.
Felt. It was one of the perks of the nighttime and early morning jogs I used to go on.
Don’t call me stupid but I didn’t know there was a word for it. I love these spaces too and feel so content near them. When I was at university, it was near the docks and I’d take every opportunity I could to go walk by them, sometimes just sit a while, it was always so quiet in the evening and the sound of the water always helped me to calm down and offload anxiety. I don’t get to do that often anymore.
they’re comforting because they’re not here
